Leaders - Stanley McChrystal Jeff Eggers Jason Mangone Kartoniert (TB)

Ein interessantes Buch über die Karriere von Stanley McChrystal, allerdings sind einige Details im Kontext der Militärgeschichte etwas weniger tiefgehend.

Wir haben das Buch in unserem Büro angefordert und es ist angekommen. Das Papier ist für große Schrift gut lesbar und der Druck ist klar. Die Bindung hält das Buch in Ordnung. Wir können es ohne Probleme verwenden.

Leaders written by a veritable General and two co-authors is a compilation of biographies of historic characters of different nationalities and times. Divided into seven chapters with headlines „The Founders“, “The Geniuses”, “The Zeolots” or “The Heros” General Stanley McChrystal has selected 2 representatives each, who according to McChrystal do qualify as good examples for this category of leaders. The Founders for example are Walt Disney and Coco Chanel, the chapter “The Geniuses” not surprisingly comes up with Albert Einstein and Leonard Bernstein. Examples for heroic leaders are the Chinese Admiral Zheng He and Harriet Tubman. McChrystal models his book after the antic historian Plutarch’s classic Lives, in which this author then profiled over forty famous personalities and which book could be found in all American homes a century ago, according to McChrystal. The book closes with a short conclusion of what leadership is about and what not and that’s it. Among the biographies I found the life of Margaret Thatcher most interesting but nothing more
