John Adams on Leadership

John Adams did not hesitate to lead his countrymen into revolution, but when other advocates of American independence focused solely on tearing down British tyranny, Adams kept asking, "Then what?" Asking-and answering-this question was for him the key to managing revolutionary change successfully, for the present and for the ages. Drawing on the latest Adams scholarship as well as Adams’s autobiographical writings, Revolutionary Management: John Adams on Leadership presents-in the spirit and style of author Alan Axelrod’sbestsellers Patton on Leadership and Elizabeth I, CEO-128 "lessons" for today’s business leaders. Adams’s leadership was less about change than about just and effective sustainability, which is why his experience offers such rich, relevant, and immediately applicable lessons to those who manage modern enterprises.
