Samenvatting
A portrait of one of the greatest leaders of modern history, George Catlett Marshall (18801959), and a distillation of the essential lessons his formation offers to the leaders of today and tomorrow.
George Marshalls accomplishments are well-known: after guiding the Allies to victory during World War II, he set Europe on the postwar path to recovery with the plan that bears his name and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953. But how did he become such an effective leader?
By eschewing the years and accomplishments for which Marshall is most often remembered and focusing instead on the decisive moments that preceded them, The Making of a Leader provides the most detailed look yet at the mettle of Marshalls character, from his arrival as a cadet at the Virginia Military Institute and his Fort Leavenworth dayswhere he learned how to learnto his instructive time as John J. Pershings aide-de-camp and his critical experiences during World War I. Josiah Bunting III, a lifelong educator and former superintendent of Marshalls alma mater, highlights the importance of Marshalls activity between the wars, when he led the single most influential period of military education at Fort Benning, eventually culminating in his appointment as army chief of staff in 1939.
In this illuminating portrait, Bunting cuts through the legend of Marshall to the manhis frustrations, passions, loves, and brilliancerevealing a humble commander who knew not only how to lead but how to see the leader in others.
