Doris Kearns Goodwin "knows" and understands each of these four Presidents. She should, having written a book about each of them. In "leadership" she describes the difficult situations that pivoted them from the Presidency as a personal accomplishment (ego) to leading the Country to peace, equality, or prosperity (legacy).

Great reading material.

Kearns Goodwin continues her leadership insights with this book.

She always hit a home run

This book is original in that it focuses on the leadership aspects of each president while also comparing their similarities and differences verses just telling each of their stories individually. The key take away is that leadership is something you grow into not born with, ech of these role models grew into their leadership roles through adversity and with intestinal fortitude. The guy who gave 2/5 stars is kinda lazy he obviously hasn't read the book, because it is explicitly explained why she chose LBJ
