FIRST IN WAR, FIRST IN PEACE, FIRST IN LEADERSHIP. Richard Brookhiser's revolutionary biography, Founding Father , took George Washington off the dollar bill and made him live. Now, with his trademark wit and precision, Brookhiser expertly examines the details of Washington's life that fullscale biographies sweep over, to instruct us in true leadership. George Washington on Leadership is a textbook look at Washington's three spectacularly successful careers as an executive: general, president, and tycoon. Brookhiser explains how Washington maximized his strengths and overcame his flaws, and inspires us to do likewise. It shows how one man's struggles and successes 200 years ago can be a model for leaders today. Washington oversaw two startups-the army and the presidency. He chaired the most important meeting in American history-the Constitutional Convention. Washington rose from being a third son who was a major in the militia, to one of the most famous men in the world. At every stage in his career, he had to deal with changing circumstances, from tobacco prices to geopolitics, and with wildly different classes of men, from frontiersmen to aristocrats. Washington's example is so crucial because of the many firsts he is responsible for.

This book is mostly a collection of short stories about George Washington. The author, Richard Brookhiser, uses these stories to highlight specific leadership characteristics. Unfortunately, his efforts are only marginally successful. In several cases, the connection between the story and a leadership trait is somewhat superficial. Often, the leadership trait is presented in the briefest of detail at the end of the chapter.On a positive note, the book is well written and easy to read. The chapters are relatively short and frequently subdivided into smaller parts. For example, the chapter on "Enemies" is divided into "Living with Enemies" and "Learning from Enemies." Thus, the reader can stop and start again with relative ease, always beginning at a new part.The last section of the book has a better focus on leadership. The author attempts to tie the book together by referring to previous chapters. For example, on pg 216, he states (see Chapter 11, Failure and Betrayal). This writing technique allows the reader to easily go back and refer to the story being evaluated. Some of the final chapters go beyond Washington and discuss the traits of Presidents Nixon, Truman, Johnson, and Roosevelt. Although the author is trying to make a point, he only succeeds in dragging the reader all over the map.Bottom line: This book is a satisfactory collection of stories about George Washington. It is mildly entertaining and moves along quickly. As a study in leadership, however, it is somewhat lacking. The author makes a good attempt but the analysis is weak. The connections between the stories and various leadership traits are tenuous at best. Nevertheless, this book still provides interesting insight into our country's first president and Commander in Chief.
