From the Publisher
Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Al Kaltman is a PhD., management consultant, and author of an acclaimed book on leadership lessons from U.S. Grant. Now Kaltman has produced a similar--and remarkedly better-- study on R.E. Lee. The negative age in which we Americans live has not been good to the image of the great Virginia commander. Yet, in Kaltman's eyes, Lee's story "is a classic study in triumph, tragedy, and redemption." It teaches lessons that span the ages. Hence Kaltman presents some 250 vignettes on Lee, along with strking parallels and executive motivations for today's leaders. One of the author's inspirations gained from Lee is: "Suffering a misfortune doesn't justify sitting on the sidelines. Even if you can't do what you want, you have an obligation to do what you can." Woodrow Wilson idolized Lee as "a man who devoted his entire life to the benefit of others, without regard to himself." In 1868, the New York Herald termed Lee "a better soldier than any...and a greater man." Kaltman endorses both judgments in a book that merits all the readership it will get.
