Good People

The Only Leadership Decision That Really Matters

Good people are your organization's most critical asset. But what does it really mean to be good?
Leaders love to say that any company is only as good as its people, but tend to evaluate candidates and employees more by their measurable accomplishments than by their "softer" qualities, like integrity, compassion, and other values. Bestselling author Anthony Tjan is leading a movement to change the way we think about goodness so that we can become better judges of people and create more goodness in ourselves, in others, and in our organizations.
Tjan argues that while competence is necessary, real goodness must also encompass values; a fantastic résumé can never compensate for mediocre character. In Good People, he provides a clear language to discuss goodness, redefining it as a lifelong, proactive commitment that, like any skill, can be exercised, honed, and taught. When leaders prioritize goodness in themselves and in others, they can create lasting cultures and tremendous value.
Drawing from his own experiences as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, Tjan also taps into the wisdom of his relationships and interviews with extraordinary innovators, executives, artists, academics, teachers, and role models from all disciplines and walks of life.
The cases and profiles shared include: Harvard Business School Dean Nitin Nohria, who has called for balancing leadership of competency with leadership of character; Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who has never forgotten her roots and shows profound kindness to her staff and clerks; Hollywood talent manager Shep Gordon, who has counseled his clients on the importance of generosity and gratitude; legendary venture capitalist Henry McCance, whose success proves that humbly ceding the spotlight to others makes room for their greatness; and master jazz musician Clark Terry, who devotedly mentored the young, blind pianist Justin Kauflin.
Packed with practical yet often surprising advice, Good People establishes a new language and framework you can use to evaluate, develop, and lead with goodness. Tjan will convince you that there is a hard truth in the "soft stuff" of business, and that choosing and working well with good people is truly the only leadership decision that really matters.

March 6, 2017
Entrepreneur Tjan (coauthor of Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck) delivers a well-intentioned but flimsy meditation on kindness as the primary goal and tactic of leadership. He stresses that, more than ever, employees are the most important assets of their employers. In an effort to figure out how companies can more actively foster compassionate cultures, Tjan conducted close to 100 interviews with people in leadership positions. Unfortunately, he doesn’t turn up any particularly noteworthy insights, but regardless goes on to fill the book with a repetitive discussion of the characteristics of goodness. Character and values matter more than competency, he asserts, and he names compassion, respect, kindness, patience, and connectedness as the linchpins of a successful business. There is space given to the best ways to put kindness into action—mentorship, etc.—but overall, a lack of direction makes this primer uninspiring.

It's generally taken for granted that the meaning of the phrase "good people" is understood. Taking time to nuance that definition is entrepreneur Tjan's (Heart, Smarts, Guts, and Luck) goal. He takes this underdefined phrase and explores how it can be applied to leadership. The general outline of the book advocates that for anyone to be "good" they must be people first, helping others, committed to values, balanced, and practicing goodness all the time. This work follows the fairly typical self-help, feel-good storytelling model that seems to be a staple in popular modern "business-light" works. With that said, Tjan does tackle an excellent question by attempting to define "good." Told in a narrative format with chapter summaries that helpfully distill the salient points, this accessible, entry-level work is for anyone developing their own leadership philosophy. VERDICT Recommended as an introduction for individuals who are interested in leadership but are not entirely sure how to get started.--Mark Hanson, Maranatha Baptist Univ. Lib., Watertown, WI
