I am reading this for my "Profiles in Leadership" class, but it is very good and perfect for this time of year with an election coming up. Too bad George Washington isn't around still to run!

An excellent history of the leaders of our nation from before declaring independence through the Revolutionary War and creating our unique form of government. The leadership tips summarized at the end of each chapter are priceless.

The founding fathers on leadership
The first half starts off with some interesting stories and insightful lessons, but the 2nd half of the book is much weaker.
It's interesting that George Washington's strategy for battle with England was very similar to 毛泽东's strategy for fighting 蒋介石 and the nationalists, and has a lot in common with Vietnam and Iraq's resistance to American occupation. So in 1776 Americans knew how to fight a war, and knew how to run an economy, but somehow they forgot.
The next book in this series is Martin Luther King on Leadership, which I expect is very much worth reading.The founding fathers on leadership

A favorite book for business and professional development. Favorite lesson: the middle doesn't look or feel like the end.
