Customer Reviews

In the top three

I have read many, many books on leadership and this would definitely go in the top three. It does not beat around the bush about the fact that the root problem is really the home and the father's responsibility to raise his children to be leaders. It is interesting, thought provoking, challenging and helpful. It is a MUST READ for anyone in a leadership role. This book is even great for dad's!

Stimulating Inspiration

This a truly great book about the integrity of various leaders. In a departure from the approach of most leadership literature, such as the corporate or political approach, Vaughan employs the biographical approach and studies the essence of leadership by examining the character traits of great leaders: Christopher Columbus, Patrick Henry, William Wilberforce, Robert E. Lee, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Kuyper, G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis and Winston Churuchill. The reader is inspired by the virtue of these great men. Pillars of Leadership is extensively documented, interesting and stimulating. This is a book for educators, statesmen, pastors and anyone else desiring to make a positive and lasting impact in the world.
