Success often depends on the strength of a single quality: leadership. Winston Churchill is universally recognized as one of the 20th century's great political leaders and his words ring just as true in the world of commerce. A wise, witty, and inspiring leader, Churchill ran Great Britain like a great corporation.

"Perhaps the finest book on practical leadership ever written." — Brian Tracy

Churchill on Leadership demonstrates that the principles that guided Churchill ably translate to private industry today. Author Steven F. Hayward gives strong evidence that, if you remove Churchill from his political context, he would have the resume to be among the great business leaders of any age. Churchill:

• was a financier (as chancellor of the Exechequer) and labor negotiator (as home secretary)
• managed a large transportation network (as head of the British Navy) and far-flung property holdings (as colonial secretary)
• persevered through bankruptcies and other financial disasters
• conceived and introduced innovative new products over the opposition of his colleagues, and reorganized major production operations in the midst of crisis.

With wit and insight, Hayward reveals Churchill's secrets for business success from assembling and inspiring a first-rate team to preparing a wise budget, from communicating a vision to structuring effective meetings, from acting decisively to rebounding from a failure. Laced with epochal events from the historical stage, enlivened with stimulating speculation, and leavened with wit, Churchill on Leadership is both an enjoyable read and a thought-provoking lesson on leadership.

— Fred W. Mackenback, retired president and CEO, The Lincoln Electric Company

Doesn’t quite succeed

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book combines history with biography and leadership and doesn’t go far enough in any of these areas. It reads more like a senior thesis...first let me tell you about Churchill’s thoughts and actions during this period of history then let me shoehorn that into a lesson on leadership.

There are undoubtedly many leadership lessons to learn from Churchill’s life. This book is a little clunky in the way it shares them.

Great leadership from the life of a fascinating person

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is easy to read and easier to enjoy. Churchill is such a fascinating figure and has such a phenomenal wit that you help but want to the man, the myth, the legend. This book is not an academic history of Churchill. It's a contemplation on the lessons learned about leadership and strategy through his varied experience. Fun book with a level of applicability.

Leadership Succinctly Put!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 13, 2007

Verified Purchase

Although Sir Winston's leadership skills manifested themselves in the military realm, his skills can easily be transferred to the business/ private sectors. The author used great examples and wonderful quotes to convey his message. His method of ending each chapter by focusing on the leadership skills discussed in the chapter was very helpful. I do not normally read this type of book, but I enjoyed it thoroughly and found some of the skills applicable even to me, a Management Analyst. Of course with the subject being Sir Winston, how can one go wrong.

A must read for all in leadership

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 20, 2015

Hayward opens the life and character of Churchill in a way that is both compelling to read and inspirational to live by. As a man who has led and found myself in the wilderness at times, this book brought encouragement and clarity to what I do and need to do. Highly recommended for all in leadership.

Great Book About Leadership

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

Great book. It goes into depth about Winston Churchill's leadership characteristics and why he was so successful. If you're looking for a book that covers a lot of history, this may not be the right book but if you're specifically looking to read about Churchill's Leadership abilities, this is perfect.

Churchill's best statemanship in one book out of many.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 1, 2016

This book presents Winston Churchill's very rare leadership in historical actions of beautifully mixed great statesmanship recommended by Aristotle, Cicero and Machiavelli in different times, respectively. It is a trans-historical readership text book for every ambitious persons in our time.

Required for courses. I was not previously aware of Church ills accomplishments. Each chapter has lessons at the end on how to lead like Churchill. Surprisingly an excellent informative read.
