How do we identify effective leadership, and how should--and shouldn't--that power be used? In \u003ci\u003eCertain Trumpets\u003c\/i\u003e, Garry Wills presents portraits of eminent leaders including FDR to Ross Perot, King David, Martha Graham, and many others, offering an illuminating lens for studying society and ourselves. Dividing these portraits into sixteen leadership categories ranging from military to charismatic, intellectual, rhetorical, and elected, Wills highlights what makes each of his subjects unique, crafting along the way a distinct and incisive definition of leadership as a reciprocal engagement between two contrasting wills that serves to mobilize us toward a common good, and explaining why leadership is so often a contentious and emotionally charged subject. \"A stunningly literate and thoughtful examination of what makes a leader...[and] a welcome antidote to some of the more egregious 'management style' drivel,\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eCertain Trumpets\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiring and edifying tour through the history of an indispensable social art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGarry Wills is the author of 21 books, including the bestseller \u003ci\u003eLincoln at Gettysburg \u003c\/i\u003e(winner of the 1992 Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award), \u003ci\u003eJohn Wayne's America, Certain Trumpets, Under God, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNecessary Evil.\u003c\/i\u003e A frequent contributor to many national publications, including the\u003ci\u003e New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books, \u003c\/i\u003e he is also an adjunct professor of history at Northwestern University and lives in Evanston, Illinois.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 01, 1995\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42723417555007,"sku":"9780684801384","price":22.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/6d77d082807a36e1c85656140854ef18.webp?v=1765099093","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/certain-trumpets-the-nature-of-leadership-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
