Revolutionary Leadership
Essential Lessons from the Men and Women of the American Revolution
About
Times of crisis call for revolutionary leadership. What better model could we have for courage and creativity under fire than those who found themselves in positions of leadership during the American Revolution? Men and women, famous and obscure, of European and African descent--the leaders of the revolution faced outrageous odds and dire consequences should they fail. Yet they stuck to their principles, winning the most unlikely of victories and not only shaping a new country but reshaping the world.
Now Pat Williams helps you apply their wisdom and innovation to your sphere of influence. Through the remarkable stories of more than twenty-five leaders of the American Revolution, you'll discover fresh insight into how great leaders are formed, refined, tested, and strengthened.
As Thomas Paine wrote, "We have it in our power to begin the world over again." Let Pat Williams show you how to lead in our day with revolutionary courage, confidence, and a serving heart.

George Washington teaches us that winning is not determined by who your opponent is but by who you are. Great tacticians like Nathanael Greene and Francis Marion remind us that winning involves taking your opponent out of the game and making it all about you. Henry Knox, the fighting bookseller, teaches us that bold action produces big gains. And the stories of dedicated old soldiers, teenage Minutemen, and courageous women in combat tell us that victory goes to those who want it most.
