Description: "General Douglas MacArthur's extraordinary life of leadership spanned more than six decades in the military, education, public administration, and business. He defined principles of leadership that were decades ahead of their time: principles reflecting extraordinary wisdom about strategy, motivation, organization, execution, and personal growth. Now, Theodore and Donna Kinni distill 50 powerful leadership lessons from MacArthur's life: lessons you can use, no matter where you lead and what you intend to accomplish." "MacArthur's achievements arose directly from his strategic genius and his singular approach to leadership. This book reveals what MacArthur knew about setting the right goals, building sleek, fast-response organizations, inspiring subordinates to unprecedented performance, focusing relentlessly on results, and winning."--BOOK JACKET.
