Summary:
THE BRAND NEW York Times bestselling book about the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership from Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin “should help us raise our expectations of our national leaders, our country, and ourselves” (The Washington Post).
“After five decades of magisterial output, Doris Kearns Goodwin prospects the league of presidential historians” (USA TODAY). In her “uplifting” (The Christian Research Monitor) Command, Doris Kearns Goodwin pulls upon the four about Command presidents she’s examined most closely-Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)-to show how they acknowledged leadership qualities within themselves and had been recognized as leaders by others. By looking back to their 1st entries into public life, we encounter them at the same time when their paths were filled with confusion, dread, and hope.
Leadership tells the story of how each of them collided with dramatic reversals that disrupted their lives and threatened to shatter forever their ambitions. non-etheless, they all emerged fitted to confront the curves and dilemmas of their situations. At their best, all four had been guided by a feeling of moral purpose. At occasions of great challenge, they were in a position to summon their abilities to expand the opportunities and lives of others. Will the first choice make the times or do the changing times make the first choice?
“If ever our country needed a brief training course on presidential leadership, it is right now” (The Seattle Instances). This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. In today’s polarized globe, these stories of authentic management in times of apprehension and fracture undertake one urgency. “Goodwin’s volume deserves much praise-it is normally insightful, readable, convincing: Her book arrives just with time” (The Boston World).
