This 385-page book titled, “Leadership Triumphs & Failures” was consistently in the top 20 books on Amazon.co.uk’s “Best selling new and future releases” (Kindle edition) throughout the first month of its release (December 2019).
The book is aimed at an international readership and as such contains multiple references to leaders from around the world. A small part of the book covers Greek leaders from Themistocles and Pausanias to Tsipras; American leaders from Jefferson to Clinton and Russian leaders from Generalisimos Suvorov to Yeltsin, etc.
Must reading for anyone wishing to consider leadership from a fresh vantage point through countless examples: Alexander the Great, Attlee, Churchill, Ypsilantis, Alex Ferguson, Kennedy, Capodistrias, Mubarak, Mugabe, Stalin, Nixon, Mao, Harold and Woodrow Wilson, etc. A useful book for those who wish to understand how: “charisma”, “oratory”, “courage”, “realism”, “idealism”, “decisiveness”, etc work in practice. The author laments the fact that, with only a few exceptions, Modern Greek leadership failed to meet the standards set by their illustrious ancestors.
