There are countless books in this genre, for example those with the name of a great leader prefacing a title "on Leadership" (Lincoln on Leadership, Churchill on Leadership, Patton on Leadership, Martin Luther King, Jr. on Leadership, etc.). These are all interesting from a historical perspective, of course, but those who are looking for real leadership guidance should try Michael Useem's The Leadership Moment: Nine True Stories of Triumph and Disaster and their Lessons for Us All (Three Rivers, 1999). Professor Useem pulls out the strategic elements in his accounts of leadership and makes very good connections to our present day.
