Leaders rexamines old notions of leadership - especially the
outdated view that history is shaped by great men going it alone.
General McChrystal shows us that leadership can take many forms,
leaders often have different strengths, and great leaders can come
from anywhere

Leaders is a superb, thought-provoking challenge to conventional
understanding of the nature of leadership. An enlightening,
entertaining must-read about why we revere so many leaders who are
often deeply flawed and even unsuccessful, and the lessons for
thinking about and teaching leadership in the future

Leadership, we learn, is complex. At a time when Americans yearn
for leaders we can admire and respect, this book... will help you
think differently about both leadership and our history
*author of Steve Jobs and Leonardo da Vinci*
No living American has more convincingly combined the practice and
teaching of leadership than General Stanley McChrystal: that's why
Yale students flock to his classes. Now, in Leaders, he invites us
to join them, with Plutarch as his teaching assistant. No current
or aspiring leader can afford to miss this shrewd and surprising
book
*Yale University*
Leaders is a must-read for all leaders - whether they're just
beginning their careers or whether they're already leading an
entire organization
*author of I Love Capitalism!*
Whenever Stanley McChrystal talks, I take notes. I am so drawn to
his ability to cut through pop-culture theories about leadership to
get to the core of what actually makes a leader. Leaders takes us
deeper than most other leadership books into the true and often
messy mechanics of leadership. Anyone who considers themselves a
student of leadership must read this book
*optimist and author of Start With Why and Leader Eat Last*
