Most of us think of leaders as courageous risk takers, orchestrators of major events-in a word, heroes. Yet while such figures are inspiring and admirable, Harvard Business School Professor Joseph Badaracco argues that their larger-than-life accomplishments are simply not what makes the world work. What does, he says, is the sum of millions of small yet consequential decisions that men and women working far from the limelight make every day: how a line worker for a pharmaceutical company responds when he discovers a defect in a product's safety seal; how a manager deals with a valued employee suspected of stealing; how a trader handles a transaction error that will cost a client money.

Badaracco calls them "quiet leaders"-people who choose responsible, behind-the-scenes action over public heroism to resolve tough leadership challenges. These individuals don't fit the stereotype of the bold and gutsy leader, and they don't want to. What they want is to do the "right thing" for their organizations, their coworkers, and themselves-but inconspicuously and without casualties. They do so by being baldly realistic about the complexities of their own motives and those of the dilemmas they face. In today's fast and fluid business world, nothing is as it seems. And they know it.

Drawing from a four-year study of quiet leadership, Badaracco presents eight practical and counterintuitive guidelines for confronting situations in which right and wrong seem like moving targets. Grounding each strategy in an engaging story, he shows how these "non-heroes" succeed by managing their political capital, buying themselves time, bending the rules, and more.

From leaders in the executive suite to aspiring leaders in the office cubicle, Leading Quietly compellingly shows how patient, everyday efforts can add up to a better company and even a better world.

读后感

看完以后，感觉收获很大。很LD散步的时候，经常会对比案例和工作生活中的例子。 不仅仅适用于领导，更适用于任何一个组织。其实这本书更多地讲的还是如何在组织中生存。  

全书也是有那么几处亮点的。封底、封面的折页以及推荐序中介绍，曾经让我燃起了细读本书的激情，但是作者繁琐杂乱高度重复的叙述让人生厌。那总的来说，他的这研究思路和结果还是让人耳目一新的。  

我自己一直是一个崇尚激情的管理人员，当然不算是领导者了。因为领导力还在拓展之中。读了沉静领导让我对很多自己一直奉行的原则和实际运作之间的差距灵活性产生了怀疑。 对自己有启发的要点如下: 1、你并非什么都知道。这点对于我所在的公司的中基层管理者是难以接受的，我们...

各行各业都有其杰出人物、卓越领导和伟大英雄。试想一下那些创建或是改造著名公司的精英，那些变革了社会面貌的政治领袖，还有那些冒着生命危险抢救他人的消防队员。我们赞扬这样的人，奉他们为楷模榜样，为他们的成就欢呼喝彩，并觉得他们代表着真正的领导典范。 不过，他们确...
