The Only Leadership Decision That Really Matters

Most CEOs say the same thing: finding good people is difficult and a matter of luck rather than skill, as being great on paper doesn't always translate to being great in practice. 
 
In Good People, venture capitalist Anthony Tjan explains the five difficulties that make 'goodness' so uncommon in business, and features numerous profiles of 'good people' who are extraordinary leaders and motivators in their fields, including Dominic Barton, Managing Director of McKinsey &amp; Co and Gary Knell, CEO of National Geographic. 
 
Tjan offers practical advice of how to achieve and sustain a competitive advantage in your own business: a set of values for developing oneself and others in both business and beyond.

Good people are your organization's most critical asset. But what does it really mean to be good? 
 
In this groundbreaking book, Anthony Tjan leads a movement to change the way we think about goodness, redefining it as a lifelong, proactive commitment that can be exercised, honed and taught. 
 
Packed with practical advice, Good People features interviews with extraordinary innovators, executives, artists, academics, and role models from all walks of life, including Harvard Business School dean Nitin Nohria, Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor and the late master jazz musician Clark Terry. 
 
Establishing a new language and framework you can use to evaluate, develop and lead with goodness, Anthony Tjan explains why choosing to work with good people is the only business decision that really matters. 
 
'An important book reminding us of the need for leadership to move beyond the individual to the culture of an organization' Dominic Barton, managing director of McKinsey &amp; Co
