EPUB
Description
What would Washington (or Jefferson or Hamilton) do? Practical leadership lessons from the eighteenth century that you can use today.
To many, the leaders of the American Revolution are distant men of mythstoic, heroic, and unknowable. People take for granted that these men were brilliant, but rarely ask why. What distinguished them from their fellow citizens, both then and now? What can they teach about leadership, and about realizing both career and personal goals?
Founding Leadershipreveals the human side of these ';marble men,' examining the words, deeds, and personal qualities that allowed Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton, and others to achieve their utopian aims. Historian Brent Taylor demonstrates that effective leadership requires more than perseverance and a laundry list of how-to steps. It requires leaders to conceive visions greater than themselves, then communicate those visions in ways that inspire, persuade, and motivate others.
In examining historical episodes both famous and obscure, Taylor uncovers the light and dark sides of power, including the motivations behind Benedict Arnold's infamous betrayal. Through these fascinating studies, you can become more attuned to America's past andmost importantlyto your own leadership potential.
