520 The Founding Fathers on Leadership takes you into the
world of "team leaders" Thomas Paine, George Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison as they mapped
strategy, forged consensus, picked the right staff people
- such heretofore unproven talents as Lafayette and John
Paul Jones - and made crucial decisions and daring
choices. From Washington's recapture of Boston - achieved
through intimidating, outmaneuvering, and outsmarting the
British - to Benjamin Franklin's pivotal mission to Paris
in search of a strategic alliance, Donald T. Phillips
shows how these men faced challenges and dissension in
their own ranks with an enlightened vision from which they
would not stray. And just as risk-taking entrepreneurs on
the business battlefield today must learn to consolidate
their gains, the Founding Fathers faced fierce new battles
after they had won the War of Independence, leading to the
Constitutional Convention of 1787. A book that is as
entertaining as it is insightful, The Founding Fathers on
Leadership demonstrates some of the essential maxims for
successful leadership and teamwork, such as rally every
member of the organization to one common cause; turn an
unsuccessful event into a clarion call for action; act as
an agent of change for the people you manage; and pass the
torch of leadership to the next generation. A profile of
the great American success story in the making, this is a
book that will inspire you to make your own American
success story come true today.
