Description and Reviews
From The Publisher:
Few would dare question that there is a crisis in leadership today. This crisis is not just a political one, as serious as that is, but it is at its roots a spiritual and moral one that touches every institution in society, from business and politics to the university and the church. The Pillars of Leadership is thus a unique look at this essential quality, not just to lament the problems that exist but to consider the requirements of leaders today and how leaders from the past can influence a new generation of leaders today. In looking at ten great men, David J. Vaughan points us toward the true lessons of leadership. These men and what they teach us are:
• Christopher Columbus (faith
• providence • vision)
• Patrick Henry (oratory • power • tradition)
• William Wilberforce (perseverance • friendship • charity)
• Robert E. Lee (duty • discipline • spirituality)
• Booker T. Washington (work • optimism • realism)
• Theodore Roosevelt (action • justice • courage)
• Abraham Kuyper (world-view • principle • criticism)
• G. K. Chesterton (humor • humility • patriotism)
• C. S. Lewis (learning • reason • morality)
• Winston Churchill (endurance • excellence • history)
