Publisher's Synopsis
In Liderazgo, Doris Kearns Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closely—Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson—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, listeners encounter them at a time when their paths were filled with confusion, fear, and hope. Liderazgo tells the story of how these presidents all collided with dramatic reversals that disrupted their lives and threatened to shatter forever their ambitions. Nonetheless, they all emerged fit to confront the contours and dilemmas of their times.
