Leadership

Pulitzer Prize—winner Doris Kearns Good- win focuses on the four presidents she has studied most closely — Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights) — in this illuminating exploration of the emer- gence, growth, and exercise of leadership. Although set apart in background, abilities, and temperament, these men shared com- mon traits: ambition, resilience, a sense of moral purpose, and, at moments of great challenge, were able to summon their tal- ents to create opportunities. This seminal work is an accessible and essential guide for both aspiring and established leaders. --back cover
