2003 FINANCIAL TIMES GERMANY
BOOK AWARD FOR BEST LEADERSHIP BOOK
In a ceremony at the Frankfurt Book
Festival, the 2003 Financial Times Germany / getAbstract Business and
Finance Book Prize was awarded to LEADING GEEKS: How to Manage and Lead
People Who Deliver Technology, by Paul Glen, a Los Angeles-based
management consultant and columnist for Computerworld.
The prizes are awarded annually for
innovative national and international books on business and finance. The
Financial Times Germany calls the winners “brave forward thinkers in the
areas of business and finance” who are helping drive the
economic-political agenda. The third annual prizes were awarded to books
in three categories: globalization, reform, and leadership. LEADING GEEKS
won the award for best leadership book. “The New Financial Order” by Yale
professor Robert Shiller won the award for globalization. “Ist Deutschland
noch zu retten?” (“Is Germany to be Saved?”) by German political economist
Hans Werner won the award for reform. And the jury awarded a special prize
for “Der schwarze Grat” (“The Black Burr”) by Burkhard Spinnen. The
criteria for selecting winners included: the innovative approach, the
practical contents of the works, the ease of reading and strength of the
writing style.
In announcing the award the Financial
Times Germany said that “Paul Glen tried something impossible: to find
ways to lead Geeks. Geeks are the computer and technical people who are
outstanding in knowing their way around their special universe, but hardly
know how to communicate with the rest of the world. That makes dealing
with them difficult. Nevertheless, the author names ways to work things
out. His book is the winner in the Leadership category.”
