Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the leader make the times or do the times make the leader?

In Leadership, Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closelyAbraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)to show how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others. By looking back to their first entries into public life, we encounter them at a time when their paths were filled with confusion, fear, and hope.

Leadership tells the story of how they all collided with dramatic reversals that disrupted their lives and threatened to shatter forever their ambitions. Nonetheless, they all emerged fitted to confront the contours and dilemmas of their times.

No common pattern describes the trajectory of leadership. Although set apart in background, abilities, and temperament, these men shared a fierce ambition and a deep-seated resilience that enabled them to surmount uncommon hardships. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others.

This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. In today's polarized world, these stories of authentic leadership in times of apprehension and fracture take on a singular urgency.

Works Like A Charm
Color: Brushed Nickel
Functions as advertised! Sturdy. Stays in place when removing towels. Allows one towel to easily tear from the holder instead of several. Holds large roll. Didn’t have to put anything together. Looks great. Best paper towel holder we’ve owned.

Good quality!
Color: Warm Gold
Love this, very sturdy and good weight to it. It definitely grips our paper towels well! For reference, we buy the Kirkland/Costco brand and it fits very comfortably.

2X THE LOVE!
Color: Black
These are fabulous! The weight to them is perfect for tearing off a towel and not tipping. And the color/style works perfectly with our decor. Even my husband who rarely comments on anything said "I really like these!" I have one in my kitchen with regular paper towels and my laundry room with the microfiber towels. LOVE!!
