From leadership expert Robert L. Dilenschneider, author of Decisions and Nailing It, a business inspirational title addressing the need for character as a vital dimension in public and private life, based on thirty-one iconic historical figures who embodied such qualities of character.Nelson Mandela * Eleanor Roosevelt * Susan B. Anthony * Stephen Hawking * Lou Gehrig * Winston Churchill * Margaret Chase Smith Whether in politics, science, religion or a myriad of other fields, national unity seems in jeopardy. What's missing? What trait did the men and women throughout history have that drove society to be the best that it could be? Resilience, courage, honesty, integrity, and allegiance. In a word, character. In these 31 inspiring portraits, venerable advisor Robert L. Dilenschneider explores not only the achievements of the leaders and groundbreakers who shaped our age, but their lessons in life and in business that can provide a blueprint for our future.Mother Theresa * Arthur Ashe * Daniel Patrick Moynihan * Margaret Thatcher * Bill Russell * John McCain * Jimmy Stewart In what ways did character manifest itself in Nelson Mandela who triumphed over the direst adversities? In Florence Nightingale and Edith Cavell who transformed the nursing profession during war and in great peril to themselves? It was tenacity that turned Walt Disney into an iconic entrepreneur. It was loyalty to his fellow soldiers in Vietnam that informed John McCain's entire worldview. Charactera vital dimension in public and private lifeunifies these and others.Steve Jobs * John Wooden * Florence Nightingale * Edith Cavell * Vaclav Havel * Julia Child * Theodore Hesburgh * Walt Disney From a respected older generation of mentors come invaluable advice and hopeful direction for the young leaders, innovators, and mentors of tomorrow.Colin Powell * Valery Giscard d'Estaing * Anwar Sadat * Frederick Banting * Emmeline Pankhurst * Katherine Graham * S.
