Remarkable War Leaders: Secrets of Their Personalities - The Remarkables - E-book - ePub

If you're interested in how leaders achieve remarkable results - in what could be considered the ultimate test - this is the book for you. Here we explore the approach of five different war leaders to mobilising and motivating their people. This is quite an achievement in war - as evolutionary anthropologist Luke Glowacki points out: 'Warfare requires intensive levels of cooperation while risking death.' What sort of qualities contribute to effectiveness in this high stakes leadership?There is a theme in this series of books about remarkable people - that there is no one leadership personality to rule them all.
Some of the leaders portrayed here are highly openminded, others low on this attribute - more focused. Some highly extrovert, and yes - some inclined to be more independent. Values such as bravery and integrity are themes, but there are different routes to such qualities. The good news - you can learn from these leaders, but you don't need to follow a formula. Like them, your path to effective leadership can build on your existing strengths.
