J. K. Rowlings novels about Harry Potter and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have captured the imaginations of people everywhere. In If Harry Potter Ran General Electric , bestselling business author Tom Morris ( If Aristotle Ran General Motors ) uncovers the values and timeless truths that underlie Rowlings hugely popular books and illuminates the lessons they offer to all of us in our careers and daily lives.

But, you say, Harry Potter lives in a world of magic. What can we possibly learn to apply to our own careers and everyday lives? Morris shows that the most difficult problems Harry and his friends face are rarely solved by the use of magic alone. Rather, they are conquered by intelligence, reasoning, determination, creativity, friendship, and a host of other classic virtuesthe very qualities, in fact, that make for success in every aspect of our lives.

Blending an array of provocative examples from the novels with thought-provoking commentary on contemporary management practices, If Harry Potter Ran General Electric offers readers a masters course on leadership and ethics, told in an engaging and insightful way.

This book is at the top of my list. I went out and bought two other Tom Morris books because I loved this one so much. I truly believe that every high school student should have to read this book, and heres why. This book isnt just about the business world and being a good leader, it is also about finding your place, staying true to yourself, and making ethical choices. For the first time in my life I read about the differences in lies- when you should and when you shouldnt lie. Students need to also learn how to admit their mistakes, instead of digging themselves deeper in a hole by continuing to cover it up. Another thing students can relate to and take away from the book is a respect for rules- when you should obey them and why you should analyze them in every situation since each situation may require flexibility. Loved it!
