Most communities and organizations require an organizer to be successful and create change. Being a Leader and Making Decisions tells the stories of great leaders—why they led, how they gained support and became leaders, and why people followed them. Through historical and modern examples, readers will learn about both positive and negative traits of leaders and find suggestions about how to take the lead in their own lives and communities. Topics covered include: leadership stories involving Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Abraham Lincoln, and other famous examples; profiles in successful and unsuccessful corporate leadership, including tales from Google and Enron.
