The leadership genius of Julius Caesar

Description

Leaders are always trying to get better, which is why there is an enormous and growing collection

of literature offering the latest leadership paradigm or process.

But sometimes the best way to move forward is to look back. Philip Barlag shows us that Julius

Caesar is one of the most compelling leaders of the past to study—a man whose approach was

surprisingly modern and extraordinarily effective.

History is littered with leaders hopelessly out of touch with their people and ruthlessly pursuing

their own ambitions or hedonistic whims. But Caesar, who rose from impoverished beginnings,

proved by his words and deeds that he never saw himself as being above the

average Roman citizen. And he had an amazing ability to generate loyalty,

to turn enemies into allies and allies into devoted followers.
