Overview

The most widely recognized business executive of all time asks the tough questions that America's leaders must address:

What is each of us giving back to our country?

Do we truly love democracy?

Are we too fat and satisfied for our own good?

Why is America addicted to oil?

Do we really care about our children's futures?

Who will save the middle class?

Lee Iacocca believes that leaders are made in times of crisis -- such as today. He has known more leaders than almost anybody else -- including nine U.S. presidents, many heads of state, CEOs of the nation's top corporations, celebrities, and even a pope -- and is uniquely suited to share his wisdom, knowledge, and wit about the leadership of America. Lee Iacocca does not mince words, and in "Where Have All the Leaders Gone?" he offers his no-nonsense, straight-up assessments of the American politicians most likely to run for president in 2008. He also shares his lessons learned, and issues a call to action to summon Americans back to their roots of hard work, common sense, integrity, generosity, and optimism.

Where have all the leaders gone? Lee Iacocca has the answer.

Now I Know!

This book is a great summary about the state of the nation and its leadership--gave me a quick analysis of the issues that I have had trouble pinpointing. Though he starts out bashing Bush (which is fine with me), for those who are Bush/Cheney supports, they might stop listening.

Lee Iacocca has a definite opinion on the leadership of a company and the leadership of our country. Even though I don't agree with everything he says - he makes some very valid and clear points. His reading of his own story is well done. An easy listen. It is not just all fluff about how great he is!

Starts out as a Bush bashing book. Not what I was looking for. Anyone can bash someone. This book sucks!

When are the rest of us going to get angry about this, take action and not accept such poor excuses for leadership in our national (and local!) office holders??!!

A thought provoking book with a lot of interesting information. Makes you think about current affairs and where you stand.

Not a book on Leadership

Written by APDS4 on October 28th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 1/5

I got this book as part of a study on Leadership. I enjoyed his earlier work and the things he did at Chrysler. This current book is misrepresented and has nothing to do with leadership. It is the rantings of an 82 year old man who needed a forum to air his hatred of George Bush, the Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, faith, God, etc. Those opinions are his and that's fine but this book should not be sold as having anything to do with the study of leadership or management.
