What can serious fiction teach
business leaders?
The answer will surprise you.
The hardest tests for business leaders chal-
lenge their character as much as their skills.
Leaders grow by meeting these challenges
—but only if they ask difficult questions
about themselves.
Joseph Badaracco argues that literature helps
leaders develop personal answers to specific
questions. Serious fiction provides fresh,
powerful perspectives on the fundamental
dilemmas facing today s managers and
executives. While reading compelling stories
in which memorable protagonists grapple
with questions of character, leaders can
watch them worry, hope, commit, exult,
regret, and reflect, while being tested,
strengthened, or weakened. These experi-
ences deepen leaders’ self-knowledge,
enabling them to be more effective.
Badaracco examines eight universal leader-
ship challenges through the lenses of
celebrated stories:
I “Do I have a good dream?” Arthur
Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Do my
deepest aspirations impel me forward
through hardships, and do they engage
others’ aspirations and dreams?
I “How flexible is my moral code?”
Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart.
Will my moral code help me make the
right decisions for my organization,
even as business conditions change?
I “Do I have unsettling role models?”
Allan Gurganus’s “Blessed Assur-
ance: A Moral Tale.” Do my role
models provoke me as well as embody
values I can emulate?
(Continued from front flap)
I “Do I really care?” F. Scott Fitzger-
ald’s The Love of the Last Tycoon. Do I
have the patience, courage, and tenacity
that leadership requires?
I “Am I ready to take responsibility?”
Joseph Conrad’s “The Secret Sharer.”
Can I set clear performance standards
for myself and others—and follow
through on them?
I “Can I resist the flow of success?”
Louis Auchincloss’s I Come as a Thief.
Do I recognize the hidden hazards of
success and the ways to avoid them?
I “How well do I combine principles
and pragmatism?” Robert Bolt’s
A Man for All Seasons. Can I make the
difficult trade-offs needed to run my unit
or business?
■ “What is sound reflection?” Sopho-
cles’ Antigone. Do I think through
high-stakes decisions adequately despite
relentless pressures on my time?
Presenting classic leadership dilemmas in a
powerful, innovative light, Questions of Char-
acter helps established and aspiring leaders
alike prepare for the opportunities and tests
that lie ahead.
