Where is leadership when we need it? What can today's corporate, nonprofit, military, and publicservice leaders learn from daring decisions that changed history?In Time to Lead, JanBenedict Steenkamp presents a fresh examination of historymaking leaders by holding a magnifying glass up to a lifechanging dilemma each of them faced. What we learn is how powerful the personalities of leaders and their decisionmaking processes can be in determining the course of human events and the fates of millions of people.Steenkamp explains how these great men and women arrived at the solutions to the problems they confronted by virtue of their character traits and whether they were foxes or hedgehogs as in the ancient parable or, as he further categorizes, eagles or ostriches.Sixteen carefully curated case studies hold powerful lessons that today's leaders can apply in their own professional lives. Readers will recognize Roosevelt, Washington, Mandela, Thatcher, Alexander the Great, and MLK, but other lesserknown leaders, such as Themistocles, Clovis, Peter, Fisher, and Nightingale provide equally valuable insights into how individuals make decisions based upon one of seven leadership styles (adaptive, persuasive, directive, disruptive, authentic, servant, and charismatic) and four personality classifications (hedgehog, fox, eagle, or ostrich).Steenkamp's assessment tools provide seasoned and aspiring leaders alike with the means to not only determine their own individual styles, but how to step up when they inevitably come facetoface with their own moments of truth.Chapter takeaways, leadership principles, and openended, reflective questions will confer encouragement, enrichment, and empowerment on readers when they realize they can utilize the same tactics as these leaders in their own lives.Time to Lead is about great men and women, their actions in leadership that have withstood the test of time, what we can learn from them and the lessons that are relevant for us here and now.
