Leadership in Turbulent Times

In "Leadership," Doris Kearns Goodwin explores whether leaders are born or made, tracing the origins of ambition and examining how adversity shapes leadership growth. Drawing from her extensive study of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson, particularly in civil rights, Goodwin illustrates how these leaders recognized their own potential and were acknowledged by others as leaders. Despite facing significant setbacks and challenges, they emerged prepared to navigate and influence the defining issues of their eras.
