From James Rees, Executive Director of Mount Vernon, comes anenlightening guide to the leadership wisdom of America's first great leader. George Washington was more than just an inspiring battlefield commander; he was critical to the founding and success of the United States ofAmerica. His leadership, his vision, and his courage united a war-torncountry and set the United States on the path to greatness. Washington's historic contribution to this nation--his leadership and his character--are as relevant and valuable today as they have ever been.

This book reveals Washington's character, his leadership, his vision, and most surprising of all, his business skills and acumen. Most people aren't awarethat Washington, while all of the above, was also a successful businessman and visionary entrepreneur.

Exhibiting qualities sorely lacking in so many of our political and business leaders today, Washington remained steadfastly honest and ethical,following guiding principles that would benefit leaders around the world. George Washington's Leadership Lessons reveals a man of true character,worthy of emulation not just in the realm of politics and war, but in allleadership positions.

George Washington's Leadership Lessons

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2015

This book was on my shelf, unread, for long time.

I should have known that the late Jim Rees would offer good insight into Washington's character and thinking, and that his book would be a well-documented history, full of good leadership advice.

George Washington's Leadership Lessons is an excellent book and I like it.

Should be required reading for every grammar school

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2007

For anyone who has mused "what is missing from Americans" today, this book is it. It is a small portrait of the common sense and value sensed lifestyle of our colonial betters. Other reviews muse this to be a simple book but that is the issue. For all the advanced thought of complex philosophical theory of man's "wisdom", the world is a mess because none of our great "geniuses" agree on anything.

A meaningful life is not so complex few people CAN understand it,
it is so straightforward few WILL understand it.
Leave the philosophers in closed rooms where they can do the least damage.

Washington's leadership precepts are so valuable to instill at an early age as to be required reading for every American grammar school.

Amazing insight into the young mind and perspective of America's first president. I learned some quite interesting things from this book. On the humorous side I learned it is bad edicate to spit into the campfire. I recommend this fun to read book. Especially if you are a bit of a history nerd as I am.

Good Not Great

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2010

This was an entertaining and interesting book. I feel that the author may have come across as somewhat more definitive and authoritative about General Washington's personal traits than may have been the actual case. After more than 200 years it is impossible to really know for sure. There was little new material here.

A very good overview of quality leadership traits and of the outstanding leadership (seemingly forgotten in today's world) of George Washington.
