Recommendation

History’s most effective leaders leveraged one or more of seven important leadership styles, according to marketing professor Jan-Benedict Steenkamp. In this entertaining and engaging book, he cites exceptional leaders, from Alexander the Great to Martin Luther King Jr., to explore these different corporate leadership styles. He discusses George Washington’s rare decency in building a nation, Franklin Roosevelt’s deceptiveness in getting Americans to do the right thing and Margaret Thatcher’s toughness. These sketches, along with Steenkamp’s quizzes and exercises, can help you discover your most legendary leadership style.

Take-Aways

  • Good leaders adapt to changing circumstances.
  • Adaptive leaders, like the ancient Frank king Clovis, modify their goals and methods.
  • Persuasive leaders, like Franklin Roosevelt, change their followers, not themselves.
