Long before leadership became identified as the catalyst for corporate success; the Civil War's winning general was showing the world how dynamic leadership is the crucial determinant of victory or defeat.Ulysses S. Grant never sought fame of glory; nor did he try to tie his performance to personal reward. Instead; he concentrated on contribution and service. He looked upon being given increased responsibility not as increasing his power; but as increasing his ability to get the job done. "The great thing about Grant...is his perfect correctness and persistency of purpose." (Abraham Lincoln)In this masterful retelling of Grant's story; Al Kaltman draws on Grant's writings and life experiences to present a series of practical lessons on how to get superior performance from the troops.Going beyond mere "how-to's"; Cigars; Whiskey Winning deals with character traits; core beliefs; and fundamental values to reveal the secrets to becoming a winning leader that are as much about "who to be" as "what to do". And there isn't a chart; table; or checklist in sight-just a handy index of lessons for ready inspiration on demand.
