In his latest management book, Axelrod (Elizabeth I, CEO; Patton on Leadership; Profiles in Leadership; Everything I Know About Business I Learned from Monopoly) looks at "a revealing model of leadership values, ideas, skills, traits, tactics, and strategies." It's certainly a timely subject, considering the business and world political climates. Organizing his portrait around 14 themes (including purpose and principle; credibility; change; motivation; and confidence and courage), Axelrod focuses on the language of leadership, using quotes showcasing Roosevelt's "abundant gifts of eloquent self-expression" to launch chapters on particular (and often redundant) components of leadership. Although the messages themselves are straightforward (e.g., speak the truth; inspire rather than coerce), Axelrod examines them through a scholarly microscope and unfortunately lacks the verbal charisma of his mentor (e.g., he calls the September 11 terror attacks a "rendezvous with destiny"). Still, FDR junkies may want to add this compilation of his business savvy to their collections.
