Summary: Learn How the Founding Fathers Led the Country
Comment: Phillips' book is an excellent read for understanding how the founding fathers led in our country's early history and how we can apply these concepts today.

Among the interesting points Phillips covers include:

1. Being a team leader and member.
2. Turning a positive into a negative.
3. Be a learner and refuse to lose.
4. Leaders are risk-takers and change agents.
5. Leaders must understand human nature.
6. Leaders create a favorable culture and climate.
7. Excellent leaders are persistent and follow through.
8. Spend time in the field with the troops.

Read and understand that leadership principles that worked in the early history of the U.S. still work today!

Summary: You will be inspired after this book
Comment: CASE FOR:
The best part about this book is not some ground-breaking secrets of the founding fathers, but their history that illustrate some important principals of leadership. I was inspired after listening to the book on CD.

He author takes you through their life, battling England, taking you through their successes and failures. After you listen, you understand what really works, and why it is so important to do what is required of the leader. And of course he tells you what it is, he nicely sums it up at the end of each chapter.

He says, "changing times needs new approaches", "The greater the risk, the greater the glory" you will truly understand the meaning of such phrases from that book. I love this quotes, "We must make the best of the men as they are, since we cannot have them as we wish" I believe that was by George Washington.

I got this book on CD already thinking what they can offer me what I haven't already heard, after I was done with it, I was informed and inspired.

CASE AGAINST:
Donald's book finished little low, but in general I enjoyed his book.

Rating: 1
Summary: Not Good
Comment: I did not find ANYTHING new or interesting about leadership in Mr. Phillip's book. More or less a bunch of tired old cliche's in hardcover or softcover - your choice. Save your money, I wish I had.
