Leadership the Eleanor Roosevelt Way: Timeless Strategies from the First Lady of Courage

Eleanor Roosevelt's remarkable ability to confront and successfully overcome hurdles—be they political, personal or social—made her one of the greatest leaders of the past century, if not of all time. A veritable road map to heroic living, the author examines the former first lady's leadership development from her earliest years as a young woman faced with many obstacles through her enormously productive and politically involved years in the White House, as a U.N. delegate and an honorary ambassador, an author, and beyond, providing women from all walks of life with a model for personal achievement.
