  Free to Obey - How the Nazis...

  Johann Chapoutot

  What if the rules of modern capitalism were written during the Third Reich?
   
  Reinhard Höhn (1904-2000) was a commander of the SS, one of Nazi Germany’s most brilliant legal minds, and an archetype of the fervid technocrats and intellectuals that built the Third Reich. Following Germany’s defeat, after a few years in hiding, he emerged in the early 1950s as the founder and director of a renowned management school in Lower Saxony.
   
  Höhn’s story wouldn’t be very different from that of many other prominent Nazis if not for the fact that a vast number of Germany’s postwar business leaders—more than 600,000 executives—were educated at his management school.
   
  In this fascinating book, Johann Chapoutot, one of France’s most brilliant historians, traces the profound links between Nazism and the principles of modern corporate management, our definitions of success, and a concept of personal freedom that masks rigid hierarchical structures of power and control.
   
  “One of the most gifted European historians of his generation.”—Timothy Snyder, New York Times best-selling author of On Tyranny

  What does it take to do more with less? How can you do better  than before, or better than others? How do you turn losses into  wins, or near-bankruptcy into strong profitability, or abject  failure into stellar success?  The power of uplift enables any organization to do more with  less, beat the competition, and perform better than ever. Leaders  who uplift their employees passions, intellects, and  commitments produce remarkable results.  Based on original research from a seven-year global study,  Uplifting Leadership reveals how leaders from diverse  organizations inspired and uplifted their teams performance.  Distilling the six common characteristics of leaders at  high-performing organizations across business, sports, and  education, authors Andy Hargreaves, Alan Boyle, and Alma Harris  explore the nature of uplift, its impact on performance, and the  ways to achieve it within and beyond an organizations walls,  revealing how leaders:    Identify and articulate an inspiring dream that is coherently  connected to the best of what the organization has been before  Pursue that dream at a sustainable pace without squandering  resources, incurring excessive debt, or burning people out  Forge paths of innovation and improvement that others have  overlooked or rejected  Monitor progress by using metrics and indicators in a mindful  and meaningful way  Build teams that naturally pull people into change rather than  pushing them through it      Featuring case studies of organizations as diverse as  Shoebuy.com, Fiat, Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, Marks & Spencer,  Cricket Australia, Burnley Football Club, and the Vancouver Giants,  as well as world-leading educational systems, Uplifting  Leadership provides tools for leaders to incorporate these  performance-driving strategies into their own.  For leaders who want their people to try harder, transform what  they do, reach for a higher purpose, and stay resolute and  resilient when opposing forces threaten to defeat them,  Uplifting Leadership provides a path to better performance  across any organization.

  “A powerful model of how to understand the complex array of issues that will shape the political economy of population in the future.”—American Historical Review   From the founders’ fears that crowded cities would produce corruption, luxury, and vice to the zero population growth movement of the late 1960s to today’s widespread fears of an aging crisis as the Baby Boomers retire, the American population debate has always concerned much more than racial composition or resource exhaustion, the aspects of the debate usually emphasized by historians. In The State and the Stork, Derek Hoff draws on his extraordinary knowledge of the intersections between population and economic debates throughout American history to explain the many surprising ways that population anxieties have provoked unexpected policies and political developments—including the recent conservative revival. At once a fascinating history and a revelatory look at the deep origins of a crucial national conversation, The State and the Stork could not be timelier.    “Hoff has done a real service by bringing to the foreground the economic dimension of U.S. debates over population size and growth, a topic that has been relegated to the shadows for too long.”—Population and Development Review   “After decades of failed efforts by the scientific community to alert the public to the environmental dangers of population growth and overpopulation, a first-rate historian has finally detailed both the arguments and their policy implications . . . Everyone interested in population should read The State and the Stork. This is an incredibly timely book.”—Paul R. Ehrlich, author of The Population Bomb
