About This Book
The Lessons And Legacy Of A President
Whether in business, politics, or the community, today's leaders have
more in common with their legendary predecessors than they may realize.
Intensely scrutinized by their constituents, colleagues, the media, and
the public, leaders make decisions that affect lives far beyond their
immediate surroundings. Perhaps no figure in recent memory more fully
personifies leadership than President John F. Kennedy. Leading the
nation in a time of unprecedented turbulence, challenge, and
opportunity, Kennedy led his administration (and the country) with a
courage and determination that even his harshest critics respected.
John F. Kennedy on Leadership identifies eleven core principles that
made Kennedy, both before and during his presidency, a unique and
dominant force who would serve as the standard by which future leaders
would measure themselves-and by which they would be judged. Current and
aspiring leaders would do well to adopt these principles, which include:
* Questioning the status quo: Progress is change, and no leader ever
became great without breaking rules.
* Turning liabilities into pluses, making the best of miscalculations
and misjudgments, and staying educable: There is value in mistakes, and
there is always more to learn.
* Making decisions: Although you solicit and incorporate many
viewpoints, know that the buck stops with you.
* Presenting an idealized view of what the future can be: Some may feel
that "vision" is a tired concept, but properly crafted and communicated,
it is a powerful motivator.
* Finding your own "Bobby": In building your team, surround yourself
with people who not only are trustworthy and competent but who also make
your job easier.
* Being the coolest person in the room: In times of crisis, take the
reins. Your people will be looking to you; give them confidence.
John F. Kennedy on Leadership doesn't shy away from the well-documented
darker side of Kennedy's life: the seemingly nonstop parade of lovers
and the chronic and multiple illnesses. Every leader faces personal
challenges that affect the ability to lead. This book shows how
legendary leadership can exist even in the face of substantial
limitations.
Kennedy led his nation through some of its most extraordinary
challenges, from the volatile civil rights movement to the nearly
catastrophic Cuban missile crisis. The extraordinary skills he exhibited
in bringing America and the world into a new era are yours to embrace,
emulate, and employ as you take your people and your vision forward.
