5.0 out of 5 stars Leadership lessons learned, May 20, 2009
This review is from: Leadership Lessons of the White House Fellows: Learn How To Inspire Others, Achieve Greatness and Find Success in Any Organization (Hardcover)
As a former military officer and elected official I have received many hours of leadership training. I find that Garcia's book is a complete blueprint to developing leadership greatness. The many antedotes from proven leaders captures the imagination and makes this book an easy read. Before buying any other book on business and leadership buy this book first!!! I plan on purchasing a copy for each of my four sons. It will be an investment worth its weight in gold.

5.0 out of 5 stars Required Reading!, May 18, 2009
This review is from: Leadership Lessons of the White House Fellows: Learn How To Inspire Others, Achieve Greatness and Find Success in Any Organization (Hardcover)
As CEO of a publicly traded diversified holding company, I am always looking for books that provide applicable insights for use in our portfolio companies. This book is chock full of useful lessons that are particularly helpful in these turbulent times. The presentation of ideas from so many different highly respected leaders in our society makes it required reading. I have ordered one for each of the management teams in our system.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic inquiry into the subject of leadership, May 18, 2009
This review is from: Leadership Lessons of the White House Fellows: Learn How To Inspire Others, Achieve Greatness and Find Success in Any Organization (Hardcover)
As a CEO working to survive today's tumultuous markets, I found Mr. Garcia's book to provide sound insights and solid examples of true leadership. The book covers decades of experiences from those who have proven their merit in perhaps the greatest pressure-cooker of them all, yet all told it provides timeless lessons that remain both useful and relevant in our current climate. I enjoyed the read and will surely keep the book handy well into the future.
