A new book has hit the shelves of book stores with a bang. It is not any book on leadership, but one that explores the traits from the point of view of leaders, historically highly successful. Leadership in War: Essential Lessons from those who made History, written by Andrew Roberts, explores some of the most iconic moments in history. Napoleon in particular has been presented as a man with great talent management skills, as he was genuinely concerned about his troops, who too trusted him. His open discussions with many of them, helped him gain insights in to the reality of conditions on the ground. US General Eisenhower is also mentioned in glowing terms along with his mentor George Marshall. Others touched upon include Churchill, Nelson, de Gaul and Stalin, plus a few more.
