About the Book

This commemorative edition remains true to the 1970 original text with alphabetical entries defining Townsend's unique, often hilarious and always provacative take on business. Now with a new chapter on leadership, a Warren Bennis foreword, and essays from many of Townsend's influential friends, including Bob Davids, former CEO of Radica Games, former New Yorker editor Robert Gottlieb, and USC professor Jim O'Toole. Includes an afterword by Townsend's son.

About the Author :
Robert C. Townsend (1920-1998) drew upon his early experiences as a banker at American Express Co. to redirect Avis Rent-a-Car as president and chairman. Under his leadership, Avis experienced a celebrated turnaround, fueled by the "We Try Harder" advertising campaign. He also worked as an executive at Twentieth Century Fox and was director at several companies, including Dun and Bradstreet and Radica Games. He was a frequent lecturer and talk-show guest. Warren Bennis, born in 1925, is an American scholar, organizational consultant and author who is widely regarded as the pioneer of the contemporary field of leadership. Bennis is University Professor and Distinguished Professor of Business Administration and Founding Chairman of The Leadership Institute at USC. In 2007, BusinessWeek called him one of ten business school professors who have had the greatest influence on business thinking. The Financial Times recently named his classic book Leaders one of the top 50 books of all time.

Review :
"The sagest (and even most outrageous) book ever written about how business should be run." -- "Harper's Magazine" "Townsend proves that the best business wisdom is timeless...Townsend's bluntness makes for refreshing and hilarious reading for the next crop of CEOs." -- "Ben Casnocha, chairman, Comcate, Inc., and author of My Start-Up Life" "Townsend's book continues to light up the business world with straightforward and practical management advice that is as pertinent today as when originally published. A must-read for all managers." -- "Ray Davis, president and CEO, Umpqua Holdings Corporation"
