The Gettysburg Lessons Trilogy, Book 1: With Stories That Prove You're Already a Leader

By: Paul LLoyd Hemphill

Narrated by: Paul LLoyd Hemphill

The purpose of the book is to prove that leadership is in your DNA. It's not in military academies or in business schools. You're already a leader, and you're about to find out why.

The trilogy contains 88 short stories, and Book 1 contains 27. The book answers one simple question: "How can I benefit from what this person did at Gettysburg?" It proves the book's subtitle: "What Worked Then Works Now."

The book forces history, and in particular what happened during the Gettysburg battle, to inspire and motivate the listener to succeed personally and professionally.

More than 220 life-lessons in the entire trilogy prove that the mechanisms for personal success are already present in your DNA. Leadership is a dominant theme in the book, and it demolishes the standard leadership definition criteria found in virtually every book on the subject.

Critic reviews

“A refreshingly positive human approach to a topic often inundated with scientific inquiry. Thanks for putting ‘people’ back into Leadership!” (Capt Edward J. Rogers, Command Leadership School, Naval War College, Newport, RI)

“I find the style very simple, easy to read, and enjoyable. I find the ‘lessons’ to be right on target.” (Richard White Exec VP, Bayer Corporation)

“This is a really interesting and useful book. The author takes one of the most fascinating chapters in US history, the battle of Gettysburg, and draws important insights for today’s business managers and employees. While military and civilian technologies have changed dramatically, human nature hasn’t. (Nick Perna, Economist and frequent guest on PBS’s The News Hour)
