OVERVIEW: We are developing a book on business leadership with the working title, The Noble Leader (TNL). TNL will expand upon Darwin Gillett's prior book, Noble Enterprise (NE), which has won approval as a critical work for the two understudies and professionals of authority. In spite of the fact that respected by a great many people who read it, it was not broadly obtained.
MARKETING: With an effective marketing program for TNL, however, we believe that TNL could be very successful in a marketplace where book sales are high, popularity lasts long, and purchasers often buy several leadership books at once. We plan to get guidance on marketing from a literary agent.
MARKET:
The Primary Market:
1 Market: Chiefs and different pioneers who need some crisp reasoning on administration, need motivating stories from other Noble Leaders, and need to "have any kind of effect" for investors as well as for workers and society.
Secondary Markets:
2 Market: Business colleges and other Executive Education suppliers that show courses/programs on Leadership, Business Ethics, Managing (and Developing) Human Capital (counting enhancing Employee Morale) and Social Issues (how a pioneer can address them in the business)
3 Market: Experts and Leadership Coaches who need to be "up" on the most recent Leadership Thinking, and need to utilize that Thinking in serving their Clients.
Our formal Book Proposal spells out the needs in each market which the book will address.
The creators have significant experience partaking in, and serving every one of these three markets. There are prepared roads, (for example, diaries and relationship) through which we can achieve every one of these four markets.
FOCUS of the book: Whereas NE focused on the business institution – organizational design, structure, and processes – that lead to success, TNL will examine the business leader. Utilizing precedents and information gathered from 40 pioneers of economical elite organizations around the globe (whom we think are Noble Leaders), TNL will recognize what it is about these pioneers that empower them to propel and move representatives and accomplish long haul predominant business execution in a moral and feasible way.
OUR BACKGROUNDS: We have worked in and consulted to leading organizations; and we have taught in degree and non-degree executive programs for leading business schools. In Ken’s case, he has served as Associate Dean and Director of Executive Education for five leading U.S.-based business schools. For Dar's situation he has filled in as Director of Corporate Planning for a Fortune 500 organization, as president/CEO of a little assembling organization and as a specialist to a few vast, global partnerships. The two creators have solid universal experience. We each moved on from Yale and earned MBAs (Dar from the U. of Chicago, Ken from NYU).
Our VIEW of Leadership in Practice: With this broad experience, the two creators ended up interested that such a large number of business pioneers are playing the wrong amusement or now and again are utilizing just a little level of their ability. We trust that it is conceivable to "play the correct amusement" in a way that succeeds – on all measures – a long ways past the standard.
The correct diversion played well accomplishes long haul better than expected comes back to investors while meeting the genuine needs all things considered (the triple main concern); and in the meantime, effectively addresses long haul difficulties and openings confronting their organizations and the social orders in which they work.
DESCRIBING the NOBLE LEADER: Playing the amusement right we accept includes being a "honorable pioneer". In addition to the fact that this means showing prevalent character and ethics (from the meanings of "respectable'), we imagine that Noble Leaders are not quite the same as customary pioneers in other related ways– to be tried out in our meetings and studies of the 40 pioneers chose
