The Founding Fathers on Leadership: Classic Teamwork in Changing Times

Customer Reviews:

The best LEADERSHIP book I've ever read!

By Rick Josey "Producer, www.SuperHeartLiving.com" - January 30, 1998

WOW...Get this book! I bought it for the leadership principles, and got caught up in the American Revolution! Phillips shows how Washington, Paine, Franklin, Madison, and the other American heroes plotted and executed the revolution-against all odds. How they set their goals, inspired the masses, turned cowardice into courage, and forged a team of patriots that withstood British onslaughts, freezing weather, and a host of other obstacles that would have stopped normal men in their tracks. But these were not normal men! They were inspired LEADERS-dedicated to the cause of freedom. And they used every leadership principle imaginable to pull off their revolution. Find out HOW they did it! If you want to become a leader in your business, community, or church, read this book! If you want to fall in love with your country, buy a copy of The Founding Fathers On Leadership-and be prepared to order more copies for your friends!

A Legacy of "Unselfish, Genuine Leadership"

By Robert Morris - August 2, 2001

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book while learning a great deal from it as Phillips examines the lives and recorded thoughts of those who, "individually and collectively, stepped forward to lead the way" to creating an entirely new nation. "They did so, in part, because they realized from profound change spring new opportunities -- and this was a time when there would be a chance for them to make something happen." Why did their leadership prevail? "Because they understood human nature, they knew that major change is more evolution than revolution; that tyranny and dictatorship are contradictory to the rights of the individual; and that leadership, in and of itself, is actually in harmony with human nature."

After an especially well-written Introduction, Phillips organizes his material within four Parts: Preparing for the Revolution, Mobilizing and Motivating, Winning the War, and finally, After the Revolution. At the beginning of each of the book's 15 chapters, he... read more

Good Book

By Leon M. Bodevin "Do right and fear no man" - August 30, 2000

Probably the best part of this book is Phillips reenactment of the revolutionary war. I really feel I learned something about the war and its leaders (particularly Washington). All in all this book is put together just as well as Lincoln On Leadership though I didn't find myself completely glued to this one like I was to Lincoln on Leadership. I found the stories (and the subject) more interesting in his Lincoln book. Phillips also seemed more able to nail down his lessons on leadership in his Lincoln book. I recommend this one, but if you have to choose, buy Lincoln On Leadership. It's one of the best books ever written on leadership.
