Book Description
A hell of a way to teach leadershipLeaders of all stripes -- business, government, military, academic, religious, etc. - face a devilish array of pressures and temptations these days. Are these simply coincidences of everyday life or part of something more sinister?
Emails From Hell, a hot new book from Amuzement Publications, explores that question with remarkable insight and humor. Author Matt Rawlins, a leadership training consultant who teaches worldwide, shows just how vulnerable most leaders are to subtle (and not-so-subtle) influences that seek to move them to abuse their power, authority and resources.
Picking up on an idea first developed by Cambridge University scholar and author C.S. Lewis in his classic, The Screwtape Letters, Rawlins chronicles the secret correspondence between a senior demon and his young apprentice. While Lewis wrote two generations ago on the ordinary temptations of a young man, Emails From Hell focuses on specific temptations and pressures faced by today's leaders.
One of the first jobs given to the apprentice in Rawlins' devilishly witty book is to identify the leadership potential of his "assigned human." Under the relentless heat of his superior's demands, the demon apprentice Tweazel works to undermine and misdirect that potential. Rawlins' considerable experience in leadership development enables him to weave into the instructions to Tweazel, timeless insights into the very nature and character of leadership. In showing how "the dark side" twists and turns ordinary human experiences to confuse and destroy our best and brightest leaders, he gives us a brilliant and delightfully compelling instruction manual on how to become a more effective and progressive leader.
