Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In this original and inspiring book, Richard Luecke reveals the lessons which business leaders can learn from the great leaders in history, such as Hernando Cortes, the Emperor Hadrian, and Louis XI. He reveals outlines some historical parallels in the recent experiences of major corporations from Hewlett Packard to Toyota. He shows how visionaries such as Martin Luther can provide effective role-models for all managers who aspire to all who want to lead in the twenty-first century.
MoreLong description:
What can today's business managers learn from the past? A great deal, according to Richard Luecke, and in Scuttle Your Ships, he advances the premise that many of the challenges faced by management today have been confronted before by major figures in history. Drawing parallels with Admiral Yamamoto's defeat at Midway, Hernan Cortes's gamble for the Aztec Empire, Hadrian's consolidation of the Roman Empire, and the English victory at Agincourt, the book examines rapid revolutionary change, the risks of decision making, institutional cycles of rise and decline, the power of new ideas, and many other challenges faced by modern business leaders. Making clear connections between historical facts and the recent experiences of major companies, this is the ideal book for all who would manage and lead in the 1990s and beyond.
`a bold intellectual tapestry disclosing the special relevance of history for today's business managers ... This work is fun to read, educational and gripping, rare traits in a "business" work.'
