“리더는 자리가 아니라 태도로 증명된다”
서점에 가보면 리더십을 다룬 책이 널려 있다. 하지만 조직을 맡아 실제로 사람을 움직여야 하는 순간, 바로 적용할 실전용 서적은 드물다. 머리 속에서 뽑아내 글에 담은 원칙이 그대로 작동하지 않는 경우가 태반이기 때문이다. 그런 점에서 최근 출간된 ’사례로 배우는 리더가 되는 길’은 이론과 실제 사이의 간극을 채워줄 괜찮은 지침서다. 이 책은 리더십을 설명하기보다 리더의 생각과 선택, 그리고 그 결과가 조직에 남긴 흔적을 차분히 따라간다. 독자도 그 길을 찬찬히 살펴보며 나가다 보면 무릎을 치게 된다. 저자인 홍석환 박사는 삼성그룹(비서실·삼성경제연구소), LG정유(현 GS칼텍스), KT&G 등에서 30년 넘게 인사·조직

[신간] 이게 화낼 일인가?
