Heroic Leadership

Peter F. Drucker, the “father of modern management,” promoted heroic leadership throughout his career, noting “The Army trains and develops more leaders than do all other institutions together—and with a lower casualty rate.” In Heroic Leadership, William A. Cohen, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and former student of Drucker, reveals the fundamental principles of Heroic Leadership and what this characteristic entails—leading a group with absolute integrity while inspiring individual performance to a personal best and building a team spirit of sacrifice for the common good.
