Marshall—General, Statesman, Peace Maker to Adrienne Hickey at AMACOM. In an era when so many of our current political and business leaders have fallen short of true leadership, it is useful—indeed necessary—to study and emulate those men and women who were truly great. As President Harry Truman once said, "Marshall was the great one of the age." Fred Smith, President and CEO of Federal Express, has said that Marshall is the man who most influenced him as a leader, and Colin Powell, who has followed in Marshall’s footsteps as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and now as Secretary of State, has been quoted as saying, "George Marshall is a national treasure and a personal hero of mine." It is why Powell keeps a painting of Marshall in his office and has publicly declared, "We have so much still to learn from General Marshall—from his character, from his courage, from his compassion and his commitment to our nation and his commitment to all humankind." In Five-Star Leadership: Business Lessons from George C. Marshall—General, Statesman, Peace Maker, best-selling author and professional speaker Jack Uldrich will show how lessons from Marshall’s extraordinary life can translate into leadership skills for business, military, and even non-profit leaders. Readers will benefit from reading about Marshall’s vast experiences, his unique strengths, his towering character and integrity, and his high personal and ethical standards. Jack Uldrich is the author of Into the Unknown: Leadership Lessons from Lewis and Clark’s Daring Westward Adventure (AMACOM, 2004) and The Next Big Thing Is Really Small: How Nanotechnology Will Change the Future of Your Business (Crown Business, 2003). Uldrich’s other written work has appeared in Leader to Leader, The Futurist, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and the Futures Research Quarterly. Uldrich is a frequent speaker and is a client of three professional speaker’s bureaus.
