Leadership & Strategy: Lessons From Alexander The Great

Leadership & Strategy Lessons from Alexander the Great by business strategist Leandro P. Martino is not only the quintessential guide to a quintessential leader, but also a necessary exploration of the characteristics that made him so. Unmatched after more than two thousand years, Alexander the Great remains an unsurpassed example of strength and leadership. Far from becoming obsolete in modern times, most of Alexander's traits and behaviors have become increasingly relevant to anyone in a leadership position, including politicians, military officers and those in corporate business and non-profit organizations. Throughout this book, Martino celebrates the warrior, the king, and the history of the commander who was worshipped as a god during his own life, and shows how his leadership skills and strategies apply to modern life. By providing specific, detailed examples from Alexander the Great's life and military campaigns, the author shows how to identify and use the most effective sources of power according to current leadership theories. This book is a must read for anyone who aspires to excellence as a leader in their field or profession.

5Highly readable!  Sep 11, 2009
The author does an excellent job of highlighting the critical elements of effective leadership using examples from Alexander the Great. While the author may not be presenting anything new on leadership, it's the real life stories from Alexander's life and his war strategies that make the book a compelling read. What is fascinating is not necessarily Alexander's militaristic aims, but how he went about to achieving them. And this, is the heart of leadership!Leadership & Strategy: Lessons From Alexander The Great

5A must read for leaders and strategists   Aug 13, 2008
This book describes in detail the enduring leadership lessons from the ruler of the ancient world and analyzes what made him so successful.

You will eventually understand why so many leaders in history have been inspired by Alexander the Great and what lessons have they learned from him.

The book does an excellent job presenting Alexander and identifying his "secrets". It shows how Alexander's timeless strategies have been--and can be--applied to gain a competitive advantage. The author carefully explains the skills and principles valuable to leaders, managers, and strategists.

A must read for leaders and for those who aspire to become leaders.
