| Summary |
"The dominating traits of Marshall's career were his character, virtues, and ethical practices in two world wars, his efforts to keep the peace and promote economic recovery following World War II, his style of management, and his approach to international diplomacy and nation-building. Pops shows how Marshall's leadership was unique, given the ethical qualities displayed in his character and instilled in the organizations he led. Applying an abundant body of leadership theory, Pops examines these qualities in the context of the leader's long career in order to successfully present Marshall as an effective public leader not only of the military and political realms, but of business and society as well."--Page 4 of cover |
