As the demand for comparative studies of leadership rises, managers and
trainers are looking harder than ever for new studies to which trainees
will not bring preconceived idea. This unique book delivers just that.
Though the contexts have changed, the examination of ancient events from
a business perspective provides a wealth of useful insights on how the
process of leadership works. From China's first emperor Liu Bang on
vision and Pericles on integrity to Alexander the Great on communication
and Ramesses II on courage, Leadership Lessons from the Ancient World
combines history with business to show that the universal strategies
used by great leaders of the past are still relevant today.
