Leadership Lessons from History

About the Book

This is a book that you can read in one sitting. This also is a book that you will not soon forget. One part history lesson and one part storytelling, it combines humor and personal experiences to reveal how even the best of leaders and managers can flub up—or excel! Don’t you make the same mistakes! Although intended for physicians new to leadership roles in this age of team-oriented healthcare management, anyone can benefit from its examples. Presented in no specific order, and often ranging far away from strict medical subjects, the reader can take his or her time to absorb the presented subject matters, be it military or administrative in nature. Additionally, there are a few stories about being a husband and father. Just don’t forget to have fun reading them.
