At a time of political polarization and economic turmoil, Americans
yearn for superlative leadership. Few have demonstrated leadership
better than Captain Sully Sullenberger, a man who embodies the core
values that are the heart of America: responsibility, optimism,
integrity, loyalty, and compassion. In this follow-up to his "New
York Times" bestselling memoir "Highest Duty", Sully engages nearly
a dozen distinguished Americans to explore the nature of
leadership, what it means, what it takes, and how it can be
fostered and developed in all of our lives. Key questions that are
addressed in this book include: Where do the best leaders come
from? How do the most successful and creative truly lead, motivate,
and inspire? Sullenberger talks to men and women from diverse
fields, including medicine, education, sports, public service,
finance, and the military, all who embody the truest sense of moral
courage and leadership by personal example. Among those included
are: Tony La Russa, the legendary baseball manager; Eugene Kranz,
the NASA Flight Director during the historic Gemini and Apollo
programs; Michelle Rhee, founder of the New Teacher Project; former
Governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm; Jim Sinegal, co-founder and
CEO, Costco; Major Tammy Duckworth, former Assistant Secretary with
the Department of Veterans Affairs; and former Labor Secretary
Robert Reich. This is an inspirational journey that asks us to
consider the fundamental question: What is the nature of
leadership? "Making a Difference" challenges us with lessons each
of us can apply to our own lives.
