Shaping History : 100 Great Leaders

Więcej o książce

"Great leaders shape history. Through their vision and integrity, passion and perseverance, as well as their willingness to take risks, they challenge beliefs and change the course of people's lives. Some are born into positions of power, others have leadership thrust upon them, but they all possess the ability to seize opportunities when they arise and the charisma to persuade others to follow where they lead. Covering many different areas of life, Shaping History looks at some of the most renowned, the most notorious and the most unlikely leaders. It examines each individual's skills and aptitude for leadership, and analyzes the effects their lives had on history. Not all the hundred great leaders in this book were worldly-wise, not all were virtuous and some were seriously flawed, but they all left their mark on the world and made a difference to how we live today." -- cover, p.4
