This book - Will Peters's second volume of leadership lessons - puts the spotlight on six great political leaders whose lives offer endless lessons for people who aim to lead, whether they want to go into politics, start a business, or take over the local school board. Every leader is unique, and these six - Winston Churchill, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher - each faced his or her own problems and found creative ways to deal with them.

Kennedy, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan We are fortunate enough to have a lot of content around us that teaches leadership. We even have the power to excavate important lessons from some of the most historical figures in history. Today's business leaders can learn a lot by looking back on the important lessons bestowed by great men like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. This is true no matter how you might feel about their differing policies, beliefs or skills. Effective leadership is essential for being President. That's a given. So is the fact that CEOs of corporations must be great leaders. However, even if you have a small business or are self-employed, you too can benefit from being a great leader - perhaps even more that a CEO of a large corporation. The most effective leaders act from their set of core values. Sure, some people might not align with those values but those are not the people you should focus on anyway. To be a great leader, you must take those values and cultivate them into a vision. That's what the lessons highlighted throughout this book are going to show you. Can you adapt your leadership style to meet the unexpected? Are you ready to get started?

Book Description
The incredible unexplored connections between two of history’s greatest leaders Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill were true giants of the twentieth century, but somehow historians have failed to notice the many similarities between these extraordinary leaders. Until now. In Greatness, Steven F. Hayward—who has written acclaimed studies of both Reagan and Churchill—goes beneath the superficial differences to uncover the remarkable (and remarkably important) parallels between the two statesmen. In exploring these connections, Hayward shines a light on the nature of political genius and the timeless aspects of statesmanship—critical lessons in this or any age. A swift-moving and original book, Greatness reveals: • The striking similarities between Reagan’s and Churchill’s political philosophies: the two were of the same mind on national defense, the economy, and many other critical issues • What made both Reagan and Churchill so effective in the public arena—including their shared gift for clearly communicating their messages to the people • The connecting thread of the Cold War, which was bookended by Churchill’s “Iron Curtain” address of 1946 and Reagan’s “Tear Down This Wall” speech of 1987 • The odd coincidences that mark everything from their childhoods to their shifts from Left to Right to their shared sense of personal and national destiny Ultimately, Hayward shows, the examples of Churchill and Reagan teach us what is most decisive about political leadership at the highest level—namely, character, insight, imagination, and will. Greatness also serves as a sharp rebuke to contemporary historians who dismiss notions of greatness and the power of individuals to shape history. Hayward demonstrates that the British historian Geoffrey Elton had it right when he wrote, “When I meet a historian who cannot think that there have been great men, great men moreover in politics, I feel myself in the presence of a bad historian.”
