A powerful guide to the art of leadership from David Gergen-former
White House adviser to four US presidents, CNN analyst, and founder
of the Harvard Center for Public Leadership. As nations careen from
one crisis to the next, there is a growing cry for fresh
leadership. Those in charge have repeatedly fallen short, and trust
in institutions has plummeted. So, what does great leadership look
like? And how are great leaders made? David Gergen, a leader in the
public arena for more than half a century, draws from his
experiences as a White House adviser to four presidents, his
decades as a trusted voice on national issues, and years of
teaching and mentoring young people to offer a stirring playbook
for the next generation of change-makers. To uncover the
fundamental elements of effective leadership, Gergen traces the
journeys of iconic leaders past and present, from pathbreakers like
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Lewis, John McCain, and Harvey Milk to
historic icons like Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill,
and Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, to contemporary game changers
like Greta Thunberg, the Parkland students, and the Black Lives
Matter movement. Leadership is a journey that starts from within,
Gergen writes. A leader must become self-aware and then achieve
self-mastery. You cannot lead others until you can lead yourself.
As you start to leap into the world, you begin your outer journey,
overcoming setbacks, persuading others, empowering them, and
navigating crises-armed a sense of history, humor, passion, and
purpose. By linking lessons of the past with the ever-changing
practice of leadership today, Gergen reveals the time-tested
secrets of dynamic leadership. An indispensable manual, Hearts
Touched With Fire distills experience and wisdom of the past into
an invaluable guide for leaders of our future.
