Leadership: In turbulent times by Doris Kearns Goodwin is a book that was reviewed in the Washington Post. The review came up at a Thoughtful Discussion Group when the topic was on the nature of leadership. I enjoyed Team of Rivals so I have a sense that I will enjoy this book as well.

Review:
Goodwin is a good writer who can synthesize information from multiple sources. Unfortunately, large sections of this book a cribbed from her previous books with a little editing. The material remains good, it is just redundant. The final section looks at how each of the leaders addressed fundamental problems with their leadership skills. That is the part of the book that is truly new.
