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.
On another note, with my interest on the topic of leadership, I have been publishing a monthly newsletter on leadership called the Leader Insights Newsletter. Over the past 2-1/2 years I have had the opportunity to interview a variety of leaders across many job related fields. Basically the newsletter is a seven Q&A format which answers such questions as; What motivates them? What is their leadership style? Who do they consider as good leaders, How do they lead during times of adversity? What do they read to become better leaders and etc.
The information gathered in the newsletter has been helpful, insightful and encouraging! The insights have been so robust and full of gems of valuable information that I created an ebook which captured all of my interviews. So with that said, I wanted to share the Wisdom of Leaders ebook with you.
This eBook is a recap of 28 leaders I have interviewed. You will see first hand in this eBook what exactly makes these “everyday” leaders tick! And also helps you realize that leadership is an art that can be learned and leveraged by anyone and anytime…and not solely by a Winston Churchill in times of adversity.
This eBook is free so just “click” on the book to download…upon reading it, please feel free to provide your thoughts and comments as well.
I hope you enjoy and if you care to subscribe to the monthly Leader Insights Review newsletter, then just simply click here: http://www.gavatorta.com/newsletter.htm
