Summary

"George Washington has long been a role model for Americans. Legends of his honesty and virtue are part of America's cultural heritage. But Washington's legacy is much greater than the apocryphal story of the cherry tree. George Washington's Leadership Lessons offers a unique perspective on America's first president - not as a caricature of model behavior, but as an effective, visionary, and inspiring leader of men."--BOOK JACKET.
