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.
