"A masterpiece--the best work of its kind I have ever read. Crocker's
Lee is a Lee for all leaders to study; and to work, quite deliberately,
to emulate." -- Major General Josiah Bunting III, superintendent of the
Virginia Military Institute
Robert E. Lee was a leader for the ages. The man heralded by Winston
Churchill as "one of the noblest Americans who ever lived" inspired an
out-manned, out-gunned army to achieve greatness on the battlefield. He
was a brilliant strategist and a man of unyielding courage who, in the
face of insurmountable odds, nearly changed forever the course of
history.
In this remarkable book, you'll learn the keys to Lee's greatness as a
man and a leader. You'll find a general whose standards for personal
excellence was second to none, whose leadership was founded on the
highest moral principles, and whose character was made of steel. You'll
see how he remade a rag-tag bunch of men into one of the most impressive
fighting forces history has ever known. You'll also discover other sides
of Lee--the businessman who inherited the debt-ridden Arlington
plantation and streamlined its operations, the teacher who took a
backwater college and made it into a prestigious university, and the
motivator who inspired those he led to achieve more than they ever
dreamed possible. Each chapter concludes with the extraordinary lessons
learned, which can be applied not only to your professional life, but
also to your private life as well.
Today's business world requires leaders of uncommon excellence who can
overcome the cold brutality of constant change. Robert E. Lee was such a
leader. He triumphed over challenges people in business face every day.
Guided by his magnificent example, so can you.
