Synopsis
Praise for The LEADERSHIP GENIUS of GEORGE W. BUSH
"Finally, a fun-to-read book about George W. Bush that details the secrets to his success!"
—Ken Blanchard, coauthor, The One Minute Manager
"Political journalists love graduate student intelligence, the ability to make clever allusions in seminars, and in 1999—2000, they hassled George W. Bush for not having it. They didn’t realize what this book succinctly displays: that the President has something far more important–CEO intelligence, the ability to ask tough questions, garner essential information, and make discerning decisions. Such intelligence can be fostered and honed, and this book shows how."
—Dr. Marvin Olasky, Professor of Journalism, The University of Texas at Austin, and Editor in Chief, World magazine
"Put aside politics and read this book right away for its true wisdom and concrete advice about leadership. The authors have done a brilliant job explaining the leadership style that makes this President so effective. Any leader can learn from the philosophy, strategy, and tactics in this book."
—Bruce Tulgan, founder of RainmakerThinking, Inc., and author, Winning the Talent Wars
"Thompson and Ware make a compelling case that this President who ‘loves to be underestimated’ has a highly effective approach to leadership that is humane, direct, and at times, truly transformational. Many in business today could benefit from reading this book."
—David M. Abshire, President, Center for the Study of the Presidency
