Of course it does. In his book \"Organizational Leadership: 73 Tips from Aristotle,\" Tyme takes Aristotle\u2019s work and applies it to leadership in organizational contexts (we'll talk about organizational communication in Chapter 11).<\/i>\r\n\r\n<i>The book description on Amazon.com reads, \u201cOrganizational Leadership: 73 Tips from Aristotle\u201d is the third in a series of three short and effective kindle books written for the next generation of leaders (and reminders for current ones) in business and organizations on this important topic. Some advice and quotes are timeless and provides a refreshing spin from a legendary figure. At a very young age of 7, Aristotle started a 20 year journey as a student to Plato the Philosopher. Aristotle learned and contributed to all disciplines within sciences and the arts. Similar to his philosophical lineage, he believed education was valuable and should be sought out to improve one\u2019s life. When Aristotle was not crowned as the successor to lead Plato\u2019s Academy upon Plato\u2019s death, Aristotle did not reject and repute the decision. He reflected on the decision and chose a road to make his mark on society. Aristotle opened his own school and continued to impart the basis of generational and organizational leadership similar to Socrates and Plato with his own great student who went by the name of Alexander the Great.<\/i>\r\n\r\n<i>This third book should provide the following benefits:<\/i>\r\n\r\n<i>\u2022 73 philosophical quotes and interpretations related to business and organizational leadership<\/i>\r\n<i>\u2022 The role that communication plays into achieving the organization\u2019s objective<\/i>\r\n<i>\u2022 When to speak up and provide feedback to the organization and HOW to do it<\/i>\r\n<i>\u2022 How veteran team members provide solid wisdom to the next generation<\/i>\r\n<i>\u2022 Methods for subordinates to interact with upper management<\/i>\r\n<i>\u2022 The benefits of recruiting talent to continually advance the organization<\/i>\r\n<i>\u2022 Explains why leaders don\u2019t need to know everything but need to perform one function really well\"<\/i>\r\n\r\n<small>Tyme, Justin. <i>Organizational Leadership: 73 Tips from Aristotle.<\/i> Amazon, 2012.
