One of the most captivating heroes of the last decade and
the author of the New York Times bestseller Highest Duty
explores the nature of leadership with some of America's
best and brightest At a time of political polarization and economic turmoil, we
yearn for superior leadership. Few have demonstrated this
trait better than Captain "Sully" Sullenberger, a man who
embodies the core values that are at the heart of America:
responsibility, optimism, integrity, loyalty, and
compassion. In this follow-up to his bestselling memoir,
Sullenberger engages nearly a dozen distinguished Americans
to explore the nature of leadership, what it means, what it
takes, and how it can be fostered and developed in all of
our lives. They are asked the important questions: Where do the best
leaders come from? And how do the most successful and
creative truly lead, motivate, and inspire? Sullenberger
talks to men and women from diverse fields, including space
exploration, business, government, education, sports,
finance, medicine, and the military, all of whom embody, in
the truest sense, moral courage and leadership by personal
example. Among those included are: Tony La Russa, the
legendary baseball manager; Gene Kranz, the NASA flight
director during the historic Gemini and Apollo programs;
Michelle Rhee, founder of the New Teacher Project; former
governor of Michigan Jennifer Granholm; Jim Sinegal,
co-founder and CEO of Costco; Lieutenant Colonel Tammy
Duckworth, former assistant secretary with the Department of
Veterans Affairs; Bill Bratton, former NYPD commissioner and
LAPD chief; and former Labor secretary Robert Reich.
