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.
