Publisher's summary

When America aspired to break free from Britain, the real-life David-and-Goliath situation required that a full-blown cadre of dynamic leaders arise immediately from the revolutionary populace. As history shows, it did. Now, Donald T. Phillips - writer, speaker, and mayor of Fairview, Texas - uses those events to suggest ways that today's businesspeople can likewise overcome tough odds and achieve success. Goal-setting, communication, and risk-taking, Phillips writes in The Founding Fathers on Leadership: Classic Teamwork in Changing Times, are just a few of the traits to be learned by studying Washington, Jefferson, and their colleagues.

Entertaining Without Substance

As a leadership book, there was nothing insightful that was provided.

The author obviously has no training in political science as there were some glaring erroneous statements in the text.

If someone is looking for an entertaining book full of interesting anecdotes about the founding fathers, the book hits that mark.
