Revolutionary Management
I am reading a great book at the moment entitled Revolutionary Management by Alan Axelrod. This book provides insights into the leadership style and thought of John Adams.
John Adams was one of the Founding Fathers and a key architect of American independence. His was a time of momentous change.
His management style was grounded in service. He worked behind the scenes to ensure that the agenda of American independence became a reality. He was always asking the crucial leading question, “Then what?”
Top managers are people who get the right things done in the right way and in the right order to achieve the desired result. Adams epitomized this approach.
The book provides lessons in management extracted from Adams’ diaries, dissertations, instructions, discourses and papers.
I highly recommend the book to stimulate your reflection and thought about management in times of change, from first principles, through rational decision making, to successful execution.
The book is available here.
