Description: "History affords many models of strong, effective leadership. To many of us, the leaders of the American Revolution are distant men of myth--stoic, heroic and unknowable. Though we take it for granted that they were brilliant, we rarely ask why. What distinguished them from their fellow citizens--then and now? What practical lessons can they teach us about leadership and about realizing our own career and personal goals?"--Amazon.com.
