Description
Forged in Crisis: The Power of Courageous Leadership in Turbulent Times by Nancy Koehn tells the gripping story of five remarkable leaders who changed history through their extraordinary passion and perseverance.
The book explores what drives individuals to rise to great challenges, using the life journeys of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton, President Abraham Lincoln, legendary abolitionist Frederick Douglass, Nazi-resisting clergyman Dietrich Bonhoeffer, and environmental crusader Rachel Carson as case studies. Koehn examines how these leaders faced crises that tested their resolve and ultimately led them to become the forces for change they were destined to be.
Through a close analysis of these five leaders, Koehn reveals an essential truth: leadership is not born, but made, and the power to lead resides within each of us. This timely and thought-provoking book offers insights into what skills are required to lead in crisis and how history can inform our understanding of courageous leadership.
