George Washington on Leadership is a textbook look at Washington s
three spectacularly successful careers as an executive: general,
president, and tycoon. Brookhiser explains how Washington maximized
his strengths and overcame his flaws, and inspires us to do likewise.
It shows how one man s struggles and successes 200 years ago can be a
model for leaders today. Washington oversaw two startups-the army and
the presidency. He chaired the most important meeting in American
history-the Constitutional Convention. Washington rose from being a
third son who was a major in the militia, to one of the most famous
men in the world. At every stage in his career, he had to deal with
changing circumstances, from tobacco prices to geopolitics, and with
wildly different classes of men, from frontiersmen to aristocrats.
