Cubs Fans' Leadership Secrets: Learning to Win from a "Cursed" Team's Errors 1st edition

Cubs Fans' Leadership Secrets will change the way leaders think. The authors of this book take a hard swing at leadership from a truly unique perspective--a century of suffering and failure as die-hard fans of the Chicago Cubs baseball team. While dozens of other books approach leadership from the obvious and well-worn path of lessons derived from great and successful leaders, Cubs Fans' Leadership Secrets proves that people learn the most from mistakes, not triumphs. And what is a richer treasure trove of mistakes than the Cubs, who in 2008 "celebrated" 100 consecutive years without a World Series championship?

Leadership expert and bestselling author Kenneth Blanchard has contributed the foreword to Cubs Fans' Leadership Secrets. He recognizes that there is something new and different here, a message with a ready-made multitude of potential readers drawn not just from the large market for standard leadership/management books but also from the millions of Cubs fans all over the world. Blanchard knows that during these desperate recessionary times everyone can gain valuable insights by studying how the Cubs have gone so wrong for so long in so many ways. What's more, this book shows how leaders can do better, in all fields of endeavor...even those far removed from the world of baseball.
