"Are leaders born or made? What are the common personality traits and characteristics of great leaders? What is the best definition of leadership? These are important leadership questions that have been studied and debated for centuries."

Learn from some of the greatest past and present leaders in Charles D. Harpool's fascinating new book, "The Little Book of Leadership Wisdom."

As he did with his delightful "The Little Book of Planning Wisdom," Harpool has collected some of the world's most inspiring quotations into one, easy-to-read handbook.

This time, however, he tackles the issues of leadership. With over 185 gems of wisdom that question the meaning, methodology, and existence of leadership, this anthology is sure to help both new and experienced leaders become even more effective.

Let words from philosophers, business and world leaders, scientists, inventors, military leaders, and more demonstrate that despite the occasional challenges, being an effective leader is one of the most rewarding positions a person can have.

So learn how to be a better leader today by studying the attitudes, philosophies, and words of some of the world's greatest leaders.
