Synopsis

The bestselling classic on leadership is now updated in a revised 20th anniversary edition, available for the first time from Hachette Audio!

Discover the leadership secrets of the warrior who centuries ago shaped an aimless band of mercenary tribal nomads into the undisputed rulers of the ancient world-and who today offers timeless lessons in win-directed, take-charge management. Based on historical research-and filled with illuminating maxims-this essential guide offers the wisdom of a man who unified thousands, led the charge, kept the peace, picked his enemies wisely, and negotiated brilliantly-all the vital management principles that lead to success.

Listeners will learn:

Never to underestimate the power of an enemy to rise against you on another day

Never to give a Hun a reward that holds no personal value to yourself

Never to arbitrate, for it allows a third party to determine your destiny

Never to misuse power, for such action causes friction and rebellion in the tribe and nation, and much more.

This invaluable guide will help anyone manage people much more effectively.

Goodreads review by Jay on December 29, 2014

This was on a list of preferred reading for those entering an MBA program. I think that I might need to find a new list.......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on February 12, 2021

The genre of business literature has come a long way since this was published, peripheral examinations, impractical applications, and empty platitudes abound. Its only major virtue is that I obtained it for free, meaning the only thing I lost was the time spent reading it.......more

Goodreads review by Monica on December 10, 2007

Cheesy but the history info is fun. Sadly, I can't follow Attila's tips w/kids cuz his strategy for inefficient members is to cut them out of the group. So, I guess my students won't be my horde of Huns.......more

Goodreads review by Glen on May 10, 2022

This book isn’t great, but it isn’t bad either. Attila the Hun is a unique person to center a leadership book around, but it works. It is a primer and if you expect more than basic level leadership you will be disappointed.......more

Goodreads review by Geert on February 07, 2018

just read the last twenty or so pages to get the gist of the book. Attila has nothing to do with it.......more
