PART ONE
   A．  
   The New Boss
   Taking over as the‘new boss’is never easy．Expectations run high，you have a limited time to make a good impression and the competitive pressure is severe．Peter Fischer identifies‘seven building blocks of successful leadership transition’to help you find your way．He devotes a chapter to each step，including lists of unexpected difficulties and easily-made mistakes，suggestions，questions and a summary．The last part of this book contains case studies that focus on different‘new boss’situations．Fischer’s unembeIlished，straightforward style makes his concepts easy to understand and implement．
   B．
   Discipline without Punishment
   For CEOs，human-resource staff members and anyone who influences the development of an organization’s disciplinary system，this book is a must-read．Managers，supervisors and smallbusiness owners also will benefit from Dick Grote’s guidance on implementing a non-punitive approach to improved performance．This book is highly appreciated for the thoughtfulness and detail of his suggested disciplinary system，as well as his advice on incorporating this system into your daily management practices．
   C．
   The Game-Changer
   This book is both intriguing and highly useful．Procter & Gamble CEO A．G．Lafley and business author Ram Charan draw examples from several large，successful organizations—GE，Honey-well，and Dupont—but their primary focus is Procter ＆ Gamble(P&G)．They explore how P&G changed from a staid giant to an organization driven by innovation—and radically expanded its sales and profits along the way．They are candid about P&G’s organizational methods and failed innovations，and they show how willing it has become to open up and connect．
   D．
   The Leader on the Couch
   When Manfred Kets de Varies uses many real life stories to show how you can use psychology to understand the workplace，his points are clear and seem immediately applicable．Admittedly，his discussion of the theories varies from instructive to somewhat obscure，and his classifications of personality and organizational types may seem arbitrary，but when he explains the processes involved in change．he is realistic and humare．Readers who exert some conscious patience will find the author’s core points about the role of the unconscious in the business world insightful and useful．
   E．
   The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
   Principles are laws that apply across different cultures．generations，and circumstances，John Maxwell，drawing lessons from his own experiences as well as those of other leadem，has discovered 21 principles for leadership．In each chapter of the book，Maxwell describes each law as a tool that can help people succeed in business，church，spots，and pemonal endeavors。Anyone in any position，in any field，and in any culture，can learn and practice these laws to become a successful leader．The learning is made richer by real life illustrations that show how the laws are practiced or violated．
   The author of this book illustrates that nowadays a new leader is often faced with great pressure．  
选项
答案A
解析 参考A篇的标题“The New Boss”和A篇的前两句话“Taking over as the‘new boss’is never easy．Expectations run high．you have a limited time to make a good impression and the competitive pressure is severe．”其句意为“接替职位，作为新老板，绝非易事，因为人们对你的期望很高，竞争压力很大，而给你施展才华的时间却又很有限”。由此不难判断本题的答案为A。
