Summary:
"Based on the viralHarvard Business Reviewarticle, bestselling author Anthony
Tjan
argues that leaders have a new imperative: you must have competent
people
on your team--but more importantly, they must also be of high character. As a leader you need to help develop and mentor for character further. Until now, we have only had ways of assessing competency in business, but we must also have the tools to help us judge, develop, and lead
good
people
. Author of the bestsellingHearts, Smarts, Guts and Luckand venture capitalist Anthony
Tjan
offers insight into and a methodology for developing character, first in yourself and in those around you.
Good
people
are your organization's most important competitive advantage. We all know that finding
good
people
is difficult, as being
good
on paper doesn't always translate to being
good
in practice. While competence is necessary,
Tjan
argues that "goodness" is just as crucial as what's on a resume--and that a fantastic resume can never compensate for mediocre character. Yet most
people
who are in the business of finding and developing
good
people
still focus on the "what" more than the "who" of the individuals surrounding them.
Tjan
writes that character is a lifelong proactive commitment that, like any skill, can be exercised, honed, and developed. Only when leaders learn to develop these qualities in themselves and others will great and lasting change take place throughout an organization.
Good
Peopleestablishes a new understanding of goodness--a word we use frequently in business without always understanding what we mean.
Tjan
also profiles "
good
people
" who are extraordinary leaders and motivators in their fields, providing insights from Tony Hsieh of Zappos, Beth Comstock of GE, Dominic Barton of McKinsey, author Deepak Chopra, M.D., Dean Nitin Nohria of Harvard Business School, Army General (ret.) Stanley McChrystal, jazz pianist Herbie Hancock, and a range of everyday unsung heroes. Packed with practical, often surprising advice,
Good
Peopleshows that the most transformative changes in business and life come down to the
people
we choose, and who choose us, and the values of goodness we have in common."
