Leadership principles you can use
Most of us admire the great leadership of Winston Churchill, many of us would like to be more like him! This book is a very useful guide as to how we might get a few steps closer to that goal. I bought the book to find some ideas on leadership that I felt I could follow, it worked.
Celia Sandys has managed to condense her grandfathers thoughts and actions on leadership into a set of easy to follow Churchillian Leadership Principles. The book was easy to read and is well organized for quick reference afterwards.
The examples of modern leaders following Churchillian principles helped to make the book relevant to issues facing today's business leaders. I enjoyed it. It inspired me to want to learn more and also inspired me to never, never, never give in!

Leadership Principles we can all use!
We all know Churchill was great, many of us would like to be more like him! This book gives us an insight into how we might go about accomplishing that goal. It was a good read, easy to pick up, easy to read and great for refering back to for reminders of the key 'Churchillian Principles' of Leadership which Celia Sandys has so ably condensed from all of her grandfather's words and actions.
There are plenty of other books about his speeches, what this gives you is a guideline to the type of leadership behaviors which made Winston Churchill such a great man. The value for me was that these are real, down to earth, practical principles which we can adopt to try to model the leadership behavior of such a great man. The book also has plenty of more recent business examples which lend substance to the leadership principles as things which modern leaders can use effectively.
This book really inspired me to want to learn more! Similar Products
