Leadership Through
The Ages
A
Collection of Favorite Quotations
Miramax Books –
2003 (115 pages in paperback)
Introduced by Rudolph Giuliani
ISBN 1-4013-5929-9
This is a small but interesting book
about the thoughts of various leaders throughout history. It is sold as a
companion book to Giuliani’s best selling book, Leadership (two volume
set). The book is introduced by Rudy Giuliani who has put together a collection
of over 250 inspiring leadership quotations from individuals like Lee Iacocca,
Will Rogers, Martin Luther King, Abigail Adams, Eleanor Roosevelt and many
others. Giuliani explains why he compiled these quotations by saying,
“…leadership is mostly a skill that people learn. They learn from their
parents, from their friends and colleagues, from their teachers, and from their
clergy. But leaders also learn from leaders they’ve never met – by reading
about them”.
These quotations are organized in 20
subject chapters and include titles like character, compassion, vision,
conviction, action, inspiration, failure and teamwork. Some of these quotations
are well known but others are unique. Leadership Through
the Ages is intended to provoke serious thought and reflection. Here are a
few examples…
Example
moves the world more than doctrine.
-
Henry Miller
There are
two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.
-
Edith Wharton
A leader
should not get too far in front of his troops or he will get shot in the ass.
- Joseph Clark
Leadership Through the Ages is the kind of book to read when you are
sitting by a crackling fire on a cold winter eve. Most of the quotes are short
and pithy. If you like to read or ponder quotations, this is a satisfying book
you can read in one evening’s sitting.
