{"product_id":"games-without-thrones-david-lingelbach-9783119145138","title":"Games Without Thrones","description":"In Games Without Thrones, entrepreneurship professor David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodríguez Guerra show how we can all learn from oligarchs, even if we don’t like them. These masters of uncertainty have found their moment again in the early 21st century, when several existential threats have overturned our ability to predict the future. Paradoxically, oligarchs hold the intellectual keys that will enable the rest of us to exploit the coming storms. This book describes these keys as eight\nleadership lessons that can become a new playbook, enabling all of us to play and win the new\ngames without thrones.\nThis book makes three major points:\n• Oligarchs are at the center of our worlds now, shaping the global economy in which we all\nwork and the politics that help determine our life choices. Understanding their centrality is\nkey to understanding how the world works.\n• Oligarchs provide us with eight lessons to enable us to be more effective leaders. The first\nthree lessons comprise their distinctive Weltanschauung or worldview. They see the world\nvery differently than the rest of us.\n• Oligarchs offer us five specific strategies—four of which were first elaborated in our The\nOligarchs’ Grip and developed further in our forthcoming The Oligarchs of the Americas—to\nlead during times of crisis and turbulence. Those times are likely to dominate our\nprofessional lives, no matter where we live.","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68210719031584,"sku":"9783119145138","price":11.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9783119145138_3100286.jpg?v=1794259467","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/games-without-thrones-david-lingelbach-9783119145138","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
