Publisher: Simon & Schuster; Literary Research, Inc. 1994 ISBN: 067165702X 336 pages -- approx. size: 9.25" by 6" What makes a leader? How do we identify effective leadership, and how should—and shouldn’t—that power be used? In Certain Trumpets, Garry Wills presents portraits of eminent leaders including FDR to Ross Perot, King David, Martha Graham, and many others, offering an illuminating lens for studying society and ourselves. Dividing these portraits into sixteen leadership categories ranging from military to charismatic, intellectual, rhetorical, and elected, Wills highlights what makes each of his subjects unique, crafting along the way a distinct and incisive definition of leadership as a reciprocal engagement between two contrasting wills that serves to mobilize us toward a common good, and explaining why leadership is so often a contentious and emotionally charged subject. Very nice softcover that looks to be hardly read if ever. Very slight bump to lower right corner of cover. Feel free to email any questions that you may have prior to purchase. Thanks for stopping in! |
