Synopsis

This book examines, for the first time, Churchill's executive side. Here he's portrayed not as a mythic historical figure but rather as a role model for today's executives and managers. With wit and insight, historian Steven F. Hayward reveals Churchill's secrets for business success - from assembling and inspiring a first-rate team for preparing a wise budget, from communicating a vision to structuring effective meetings, from acting decisively to rebounding from failure. Hayward concludes each chapter with a brief summary of the extraordinary lessons learned.

About this title

Review:

"Perhaps the finest book on practical leadership ever written."
-- Brian Tracy
"Winston Churchill once said, 'We are all worms. But I do believe that I am a glow worm.' His business acumen, grounded in candor, glows in this uncommon management guide."
-- Cathy Madison, Utne Reader
"This book is must reading for today's business leaders and entrepreneurs."
-- Fred W. Mackenback, retired president and CEO, The Lincoln Electric Company
"Churchill on Leadership demonstrates that the principles that guided Churchill ably translate to private industry today . . . [I]f you remove Churchill from his political context, he would have the résumé to be among the great business leaders of any age."
-- Business Times
