Description

Dwight Eisenhower: Lessons on Character and Getting Great Egos to Work Together
Selflessness. Duty. Integrity. Honesty. Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, supreme commander of the allied forces in World War II, leaned into all those character traits — and more — enroute to defeating Nazi Germany.
He also listened well and cared more about his mission than his image, as we discuss this week in the third episode of our series within the show, MORE STORIES FROM THE BOOK CRUCIBLE LEADERSHIP. And he did it all while having to manage relationships with military men and political leaders who possessed big egos to match their prodigious professional skills.
