“Whenever Stanley McChrystal talks, I take notes. I am so drawn to
his ability to cut through pop culture theories about leadership to
get to the core of what actually makes a leader. Leaders takes us
deeper than most other leadership books into the true and often
messy mechanics of leadership. Anyone who considers themselves a
student of leadership must read this book." —Simon Sinek, Optimist
and author of Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last
"Leaders reexamines old notions of leadership--especially the
outdated view that history is shaped by great men going it alone.
General McChrystal shows us that leadership can take many forms,
leaders often have different strengths, and great leaders can come
from anywhere. —Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and founder
of LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org
"Leaders is a superb, thought-provoking challenge to conventional
understanding of the nature of leadership. An enlightening,
entertaining must-read about why we revere so many leaders who are
often deeply flawed and even unsuccessful, and the lessons for
thinking about and teaching leadership in the future.” —Robert
M. Gates, former U.S. Secretary of Defense
“At a time when Americans yearn for leaders we can admire and
respect, this book shows what qualities are truly important. It
will help you think differently about both leadership and our
history.” —Walter Isaacson, professor of history at Tulane, author
of Steve Jobs
“Leaders is a must-read for all leaders—whether they’re just
beginning their careers, or whether they’re already leading an
entire organization.” —Ken Langone, author of I Love
Capitalism
