The Wisdom Of Leaders
I believe that one of the most important topics of this day and age is leadership. What is leadership? What characteristics make a good leader? Who is considered a good leader, and why?
Despite many great books written about leadership there still remains a great deal of outstanding questions yet to be answered. Personally I enjoy reading about great leaders and then come to my conclusions about what made them great - one of my all time favorite leaders is Winston Churchill. I would urge anyone who does not know about Churchill and his accomplishment’s to pick up two outstanding books written about him. The first is called The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill: Alone 1932-1940, by William Manchester and the second called Churchill: A Life, written by Martin Gilbert .
In these books you will see the true greatness of Churchill’s leadership style…his ability to communicate, encourage others in the face of great adversity, to be a forward thinker, to be able to learn from history and most importantly his past mistakes…For anyone interested in true leadership I highly recommend reading about Winston Churchill.
