WHERE HAVE ALL THE LEADER GONE?



My View:

I thought this was a good book. It was nice to read the views of Lee Iacocca. Finally someone who isn't afraid to tell it like it is. It really opened my eyes a bit as to what's going on in the politcal world too. It's not pretty.

Synopsis:

A self-made man who many Americans once wished would run for president, Iacocca saved the Chrysler Corporation from financial ruin, masterminded the creation of the minivan, and oversaw the renovation of Ellis Island. Since then he has created the Iacocca Institute for leadership at Lehigh University and the Iacocca Foundation, which funds research for a cure for diabetes. Lee Iacocca believes that leaders are made in times of crisis -- such as today. He has known more leaders than almost anyone else -- among them nine U.S. presidents, many heads of state, and the CEOs of the nation's top corporations -- and is uniquely suited to share his wisdom, knowledge, and wit about the leadership of America.
