“Start With Die: Leadership Lessons from Vlad the Impaler(穿刺公弗拉德，吸血鬼德古拉原型)” by Derek Fromage. “When a man or a prince is strong and powerful he can make peace as he wants to; but when he is weak a stronger one will come and do what he wants to him.” In this contrarian(唱反调的；逆向思维的) take on the effects of appalling(骇人听闻的；令人震惊的) brutality within organisations, Derek Fromage, author of the bestselling “Dare to Bleed”, looks at the career of Vlad III. You’ve read the case for psychological safety(心理安全感). Now learn how Vlad’s high-stakes(高风险的；赌注很大的) leadership philosophy can work for you.
《从死亡开始：穿刺公弗拉德的领导力课》，德里克·弗罗马日著。“一个人或一位君主强大有力时，可以随心所欲地缔造和平；但当他弱小之时，更强的人就会来，对他为所欲为。”在这本唱反调探讨组织内骇人暴行后果的书中，畅销书《敢于流血》的作者德里克·弗罗马日审视了弗拉德三世的一生。你已读过支持心理安全感的论据，现在来学学弗拉德那套高风险领导哲学如何为你所用。
“Rhyme and Reason(韵脚与理性；双关“道理”): The Kindergarten CEO” by William Winkie. If you think nursery rhymes(英语童谣，暗藏历史典故) are for toddlers(学步儿童；幼儿), think again. The traditional songs of childhood are crammed with(塞满；充满) management insights. Great leaders are consistent: it’s frankly confusing to be marched to the top of the hill and then marched straight back down again.(伟大的领导者言行一致：先被赶上山头又被赶下山，实在令人困惑。) Great leaders set shared goals: what’s the point in Polly putting the kettle on if Sukey is just going to take it off again? Great leaders understand the strengths of their team members: who can eat no fat, say, and who can eat no lean. Features practical takeaways on the use of tuffets(矮凳；蒲团).
《韵脚与理性：幼儿园CEO》，威廉·温基著。如果你以为童谣是给幼儿听的，那就再想想。童年传统歌曲里塞满了管理洞见。伟大的领导者言行一致：先被赶上山头、又被赶下山来，说实话真让人摸不着头脑。伟大的领导者设定共同目标：波莉刚把水壶坐上，苏基又把它拿下来，这有什么意义？伟大的领导者了解团队成员的长处：比如谁能不吃肥肉，谁又能不吃瘦肉。书中还附有关于使用矮凳的实用心得。
