Drawing on Historical Examples and Lessons

Perhaps some of the greatest lessons we can learn come from what leaders did or didn’t do over the centuries. That’s because with the perception gained over time, it’s possible to see where certain choices have taken us as humans and within societies. While leadership books abound, two men co-authored a book called Launching a Leadership Revolution (found at  Amazon ). The book was written by Orrin Woodward and Chris Brady and they use historical figures such as George Washington, BenjaminFranklin,FDR,John F. Kennedy, and Winston Churchill to introduce you to new ways of seeing beyond all the same old stories you learned in grade school. Inviting the reader to look at those well-loved stories and turning them until new lessons can be seen and learned. Perhaps more than anything, these basic insights that are taught in all the major religions can be used as a reminder. We certainly aren’t getting much of them in the 24/7 information overload coming from our social media-driven world.
