Notorious by Steve Williams
History's rebels didn't follow the rules. Neither should your leadership strategy.
What do Al Capone, Genghis Khan, and Blackbeard the pirate have in common with your best boss?
More than you think. They all have brilliantly effective leadership styles and techniques that lead to real, sometimes world-changing, results.
Learn from the worst. Lead like the best.
This book takes history's most celebrated, feared, and misunderstood figures and does something no business school has ever dared - extracts the leadership genius hiding in plain sight.
Get ready to up your leadership game by tapping into the wisdom of:
- Sun Tzu on talent
- Attila the Hun on decisiveness
- Napoleon on vision
- Catherine the Great on resilience
- Steve Jobs on disruption
These weren't just conquerors and criminals. They were masterful strategists, brand builders, and culture creators - and their playbooks still work.
Twenty powerful leadership principles. Ten notorious leaders. Zero boring case studies.
With 45 years of executive leadership experience and 250+ published works, author Steve Williams has written his most provocative, entertaining, and flat-out useful book yet.
The lessons are all so valuable and entertaining - totally unique. I highly recommend it. - Jack Canfield, Co-Author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul(R) series and The Success Principles(TM)
