4.0 out of 5 stars
A Kind and Gentle Leader,
This review is from: Leadership Lessons of Robert E. Lee: Tips, Tactics. and Strategies for Leaders and Managers (Hardcover)
The first book I read by Mr. Holton was a similar book, just about U. S. Grant. I liked that one a lot (I have a review here also), so much so that I went ahead and got this one too. I figured that I'd give both sides a fair chance...Well, I was not disappointed in the least. The style is the same as the Grant volume, and the format is the same. None the less, it reads very well and is very informative, although not as entertaining as I would have liked, thus the 4 stars. One thing for sure, you'll get to know Lee very well reading this book. And there are many lessons to be had from the reading, possibly one on every page, if you feel so inclined. As with the Grant volume, Mr. Holton takes one area of leadership and reports how Lee acted in regards to that item (Patriot Voice, Duty are 2 examples). Each discussion is contained on one page! A very good use of words by the writer makes this work. Then it's on to the next, then the next, the next, and so on. One can read one page and think about it, or take a couple of hours and polish off the whole book!! I perferred the slower method. However you choose to read this bbok, make sure that you do read it, and the Grant volume also. You'll get a good look at 2 very important military minds of our short history. You'll also learn some important lessons on how to deal with people and situations, in both business and personal life. Well done Mr. Holton. Thank you!

This review is from: Leadership Lessons of Robert E. Lee: Tips, Tactics. and Strategies for Leaders and Managers (Hardcover)
I've shared this book with two members of my family who have been - and still are - leaders in the community and in many circles.
They've enjoyed it, learned from it, appreciated it, and continue to have great admiration for Robert E. Lee. Well written, very affordable book -- makes a neat gift! It's a Keeper.
