The Classic Touch: Lessons in Leadership from Homer to Hemingway Paperback – October 11, 1999

Many books on "leadership" fail to hit their mark because they are too abstract and can't maintain the reader's interest. That is not the case with this book. By using characters from classic literature to illustrate leadership characteristics the authors manage to find a unique balance between substance and style that really works.The leadership lessons from the classics are still applicable today and this book gives them a fresh perspective by relating them to the modern business environment. The authors also complement the examples from classic literature with some excellent examples of recent management approaches. The result is terrific.
