Meeting Room A

The Real Reads book discussion group will read "Leadership in Turbulent Times" by Goodwin. Books for this discussion can be picked up at the Dyer-Schererville branch a month prior to the event.

Are leaders born or made? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man? Goodwin offers an illuminating exploration into the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership. She draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely-- Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson-- to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders.
