Paperback. Zustand: Good. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. As catchy as that aphorism is, it's sadly untrue, even if it has a nice ring to it. The one thing Nero is well-known for is the one thing he actually didn't do. But fear not, the truth of his life, his rule and what he did with unrestrained power, is plenty weird, salacious and horrifying. And he is not alone. Roman history, from the very foundation of the city, is replete with people and stories that shock our modern sensibilities. Evil Roman Emperors puts the worst of Rome's rulers in one place and offers a review of their lives and a historical context for what made them into what they became. It concludes by ranking them, counting down to the worst ruler in Rome's long history. Lucius Tarquinius Suburbus called peace conferences with warring states, only to slaughter foreign leaders; Commodus sold offices of the empire to the highest bidder; Caligula demanded to be worshipped as a god, and marched troops all the way to the ocean simply to collect seashells as proof of their conquest; even the Roman Senate itself was made up of oppressors, exploiters, and murderers of all stripes. Author Phillip Barlag profiles a host of evil Roman rulers across the history of their empire, along with the faceless governing bodies that condoned and even carried out heinous acts. Roman history, deviant or otherwise, is a subject of endless fascination. What's never been done before is to look at the worst of the worst at the same time, comparing them side by side, and ranking them against one another. Until now.…

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Lekce od muze, ktery vybudoval imperium. Mnozstvi literatury na tema aktualnich trendu v leadershipu roste. Nekdy je vsak nejlepsi ohlednout se zpet. Philip Barlag ukazuje, ze kariera Julia Caesara, jednoho z nejvetsich vudcu vsech dob, si zaslouzi seriozni vyzkum. Caesarova vudcovska strategie byla na tehdejsi dobu prekvapive moderni a mimoradne efektivni. Historie je plna lidru, kterym se zoufale nedostavalo kontaktu s lidmi a kteri slepe sledovali vlastni ambice a hedonisticke rozmary. Caesar, jenz pochazel ze skromnych pomeru, vsak na bezne rimske obcany nehledel svrchu. Dokazal v lidech probudit loajalitu, menit nepratele ve spojence a spojence v oddane stoupence. Ustrednim motivem Barlagovy knihy je rozdil mezi moci a silou. Nakolik mohl, vyhybal se Caesar uziti hrube sily: vedel, ze skutecne loajality nedocili zastrasovanim. Jeho moc pramenila z osobni integrity a intuitivniho chapani nejhlubsich lidskych potreb. Barlag ukazuje, ze i dnes se lidri maji od Caesara co ucit. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - "Brilliantly crafted to draw leadership lessons from history, this is one of the finest leadership books I have read" (Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals).Leaders are always trying to get better, but sometimes the best way to move forward is to look back. Philip Barlag shows us that Julius Caesar is one of the most compelling leaders of the past to studya man whose approach was surprisingly modern and extraordinarily effective. Caesar proved by his words and deeds that he never considered himself above the average Roman citizen. He had an amazing ability to generate loyalty, to turn enemies into allies and allies into devoted followers.Barlag uses dramatic and colorful incidents from Caesar's careerbeing held hostage by pirates, charging alone into enemy lines, pardoning people he knew wanted him deadto illustrate what Caesar can teach leaders today. Central to Barlag's argument is the distinction between force and power. Caesar avoided using brute force on his followers. Instead, he won their loyalty through personal integrity and understanding his people's needs and motivations. Thousands of years after Caesar's death, this is still the kind of loyalty every leader wants to inspire. …
