Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Dusting Off Thunderbolts is not just another book about how to be a
good leader. Having worked in 50 countries on a quest to find what
he calls the heart of leadership, Sir John Jones shares wisdom
gleaned from diverse cultures and continents. You will hear from
giants of sport, literature, art, film and music, and be guided by
poets, philosophers, war heroes and Nobel prize-winners. Sir John
will introduce you to external forces that spark the inner spirit
of leadership. The ancients called such forces "muses" and, like
old friends, they have sustained Sir John through more than 40
years of leadership. Muses favour those courageous enough to work
tirelessly at their craft and travel each day the tough road of
hard practice, dedication and quiet heroism. Sadly, some leaders
deny their existence, believing that they themselves are the sole
source of their success. For these leaders, the gods will dust off
their thunderbolts. Teeming with practical ideas, stories and
suggestions, Dusting Off Thunderbolts will make you laugh, make you
cry, make you think and help you grow. It is an affirmation of
those who lead with deep humanity. It is a clarion call to those
who see themselves as a constant work in progress. It champions
those who take risks but give themselves permission to fail. It is
a companion for those who have the courage to stand at the front
while embracing their own vulnerability. It is a celebration of the
leadership spirit within all of us. For all our failings, flaws and
fears, neither the gods nor their muses can do their work without
us.
