Max Your Leadership!: Unlock Your Leadership Abilities With Timeless Lessons From Gettysburg

Here are stories from the most written-about event in America's past that illustrate unknown abilities and qualities you already possess. Implied in each story is the slogan, "What worked then works now," reminding us of the paraphrased conclusion of historian John Toland: "It's not history that repeats itself, it's human nature."

These narratives highlight various leadership styles, the importance of effective communication, the dynamics of team building, and the art of decision-making—essential skills that remain relevant in today's world.

The quality of leadership, as seen through the prism of a great Civil War battle, is simply an integral, if not the most dominant, element of human nature. It's about influencing others. Pretty simple explanation, right? Old as the hills. Definitions don't have to be complicated.

Plus, this book challenges the long-accepted idea that leadership is a trait that only talented or "gifted" people can exercise. On the contrary, it proves we all have the leadership quality, just waiting to be acknowledged and exercised. The lessons you learn here will always remain vital, relevant, and meaningful to your life.

Ironically, this isn't a history book, but it uses one historical event to prove what you're capable of today, not twenty years from now. What isn't found here is theory, psycho-babble, or attempts to be hip.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, following the lessons in each story are questions you are challenged to answer. They invite you to think about how you would use the lessons in your own life. Whether you're facing tough decisions or striving for success, let this book guide you like a roadmap, helping you navigate the journey.

And just to add emotion and drama, music is heard on nearly every audio.
