      "In early 1957, a low-budget black and white movie opened across the country. Consisting of little more than a dozen men arguing in a dingy room, it was a failure at the box office and soon faded from view. Today, 12 Angry Men is acclaimed as a movie classic, revered by the critics and beloved by the public, and widely performed as a stage play, touching audiences around the world. It is also a favorite of the legal profession for its portrayal of ordinary citizens reaching a just verdict, and widely taught for its depiction of group dynamics and human relations. Few 20th Century American dramatic works have had the acclaim and impact of 12 Angry Men. Reginald Rose and the Journey of 12 Angry Men tells two stories: the life of a great writer and journey of his most famous work, one that ultimately that outshined its author. More than any writer in the Golden Age of Television, Reginald Rose took up vital social issues of the day - from racial prejudice to juvenile delinquency to civil liberties - and made them accessible to a wide audience. His 1960s series, The Defenders, was the finest drama of its age, and set the standard for legal dramas. This book brings Reginald Rose's long and successful career, its origins and accomplishments, into view at long last. By placing 12 Angry Men in its historical and social context-the rise of television, the blacklist, and the struggle for civil rights-author Phil Rosenzweig traces the story of this brilliant courtroom drama, beginning with the chance experience that inspired Rose, to its performance on CBS's Westinghouse Studio One in 1954, to the feature film with Henry Fonda. The book describes Sidney Lumet's casting, the sudden death of one actor, and the contribution of cinematographer Boris Kaufman. It explores the various drafts of the drama, with characters modified and scenes added and deleted, with Rose settling on the shattering climax only days before filming began. Drawing on extensive research, and brimming with insight, it casts new light on one of America's great dramas - and about its author, a man of immense talent and courage"-- Provided by publisher

      The Halo Effect
    • 2008

      Tagtäglich analysieren Management-Gurus, Consultants und prominente Wirtschaftslenker das Geschehen an der Börse, loben die Weitsichtigkeit und den Erfolg eines neuen CEOs, proklamieren eine weitere Erfolgstheorie oder geben Tipps, wie man die Konkurrenz garantiert überholen kann. Aber was davon ist gesichertes Wissen und was sind bestenfalls vage Thesen? In seinem wegweisenden und unkonventionellen Buch legt Phil Rosenzweig den Finger auf die eklatantesten Denkfehler. Der folgenreichste Irrtum ist der Halo-Effekt. Steigen Umsatz und Gewinn eines Unternehmens, ist die Versuchung groß, dahinter eine brillante Strategie, eine visionäre Führungspersönlichkeit, besonders fähige Mitarbeiter oder eine außergewöhnliche Unternehmenskultur zu vermuten. Lässt die Performance nach, stehen schon bald die verfehlte Strategie, der arrogante Führungsstil, die unengagierten Mitarbeiter oder die uninspirierte Unternehmenskultur am Pranger. Dabei hat sich kaum etwas verändert –außer die Wahrnehmung. Rosenzweigs brillant geschriebenes Buch verzichtet auf jeden unnötigen Fachjargon. Sein erfrischend direkter Schreibstil richtet sich an eine breite Leserschaft aus der Welt der Wirtschaft und der Unternehmen. Führungskräfte, die zwischen Sein und Schein unterscheiden wollen, kommen um die Lektüre dieses Buches nicht herum.
