Publisher's Synopsis
Edmund Burke, a British statesman and philosopher, is credited with making the statement that those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it. In this book, helps guarantee that we do not fall into the trap of disregarding history. At the very least, this is the case insofar as the planning of the future is concerned.Temechambi Rosten makes an excellent argument about how beneficial it is to utilize future conceptualizations in behavior that has been seen over generations. He utilizes this data to demonstrate the perennial and long-lasting effects of situational theory, which postulates that there is no one method of thinking that is effective in all circumstances and argues that many perspectives should be considered. Instead, acceptable cognition and conduct are contingent upon the conditions present at any particular moment in time. Effective managers have, for ages, been analyzing the problem, choosing the reasoning style or conduct that would be most effective, and then determining whether or not they are able to apply the needed style.At the start of the last century, the editors of Life Magazine compiled a list of the top 100 leaders who, in their opinion, had the greatest influence on society during the second millennium. This list was published at the turn of the century. Rosten picked some of the people who were living in the twentieth century on this list to investigate what it was about each person's particular beliefs and actions that enabled them to have such a big and long-lasting effect on our society. He used this list as a backdrop for his investigation.
