Book Reviews of The Leadership Genius of George W. Bush: 10 Common Sense Lessons from the Commander-in-Chief

Book Review: President with a Purpose
Summary: 5 Stars

As I read this book it hit me right between the eyes as why I think this president has been doing such a good job. He is probably one of the only presidents I know that has defined his values and applies them to his job and his life. Both Carolyn and James has shown us that George "Dubya" has defined and communicated his management style and values to those that work for him. In addition, Carolyn and James has clearly laid out a plan or process I could use with my team to identify our values to assure we are working together. They have shown how not only defining these values and living them by "walking the talk" can make your organization or team successful.

Carolyn and James have written a book that not only identifies the specific management style that made GW so successful, they have given me a process to utilize these skills in my own position. They have used all the resources available to them, admitedly most of them are negative, to show specific examples of GW's leadership style and how they have impacted decisions he has made. More important, they have taken examples where GW's critics have taken shots at the prez (and there are several) and used them to show how the president has changed his style and his views not to please the general public but for the common good of the country.

I am sure that many of GW's critics won't want to read this book. If you want to learn about your management style and how you can be more successful you should definitely read this book. It is easy to read, humorous, factual, and thought-provoking. I also enjoy how Carolyn and James add sections on how I can improve my management style.

Summary of The Leadership Genius of George W. Bush: 10 Common Sense Lessons from the Commander-in-Chief

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
