Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the leader make the times or do the times make the leader?

In Leadership, Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closelyAbraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)to show how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others. By looking back to their first entries into public life, we encounter them at a time when their paths were filled with confusion, fear, and hope.

Leadership tells the story of how they all collided with dramatic reversals that disrupted their lives and threatened to shatter forever their ambitions. Nonetheless, they all emerged fitted to confront the contours and dilemmas of their times.

No common pattern describes the trajectory of leadership. Although set apart in background, abilities, and temperament, these men shared a fierce ambition and a deep-seated resilience that enabled them to surmount uncommon hardships. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others.

This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. In today's polarized world, these stories of authentic leadership in times of apprehension and fracture take on a singular urgency.

Great little mouse for a low price
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
For about $10 this was a great little mouse! The buttons are super quiet and the shape seems comfortable. I work from home and I bought this as a last min I need it tomorrow kind of deal. I guess I should have looked into the description more as this is a tiny little mouse. I've gotten more used to it as the day goes on, but I am definitely ordering something bigger. This will make a fine little back up mouse though. PROS: Super quiet Adjustable pointer speed button Nice shape Accurate color CONS: Super tiny It goes into sleep mode a bit fast for me personally and then takes (what feels like) forever to wake back up again (probably about 30-45 seconds,

TECKNET Wireless Mouse, 2.4G Ergonomic Optical Mouse
Color: Purple
Worked right out of the box! I purchased TWO because I am always knocking it to the floor, which is why I believe my original one (designed just like this one, same color, (my favorite color), different company, G*** H***), stopped working properly, and the fact that I was starting to change the batteries about once every two weeks! There are some subtle differences from my previous mouse, like, the wheel light is not as bright, and the light on the bottom doesn't seem to light up, unless it does, only when the mouse is in motion, on a flat surface. Anyway, so far, so good! I would recommend!

Grab yourself a bargain!
Color: Purple
For those unfamiliar with Tecknet products, brace yourself to be amazed! This multipurpose mouse is an excellent purchase for all. Are you looking to get rid of your annoying wired mice? Look no further, you won't have to waste space anymore for that wire going across your desk. This wireless mouse is especially useful for notebook users, since it is lightweight allowing you to stay flexible on the go with ease. There are 6 buttons on this mouse which are all conveniently placed and it feels comfortable even after long time use. Tested and fully compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. And yes, it works on Linux too (tested on Ubuntu).The response time is swift: there is no lagging observed. Overall, an excellent value for money and also great in terms of quality. Goes perfectly with a Tecknet mouse pad. For the more Technical users: This mouse is capable up to a 2400 DPI setting which is perfect for most users, however if you are a pro gamer for instance and need more than that, try one of the gaming mice from Tecknet, you won't be disappointed. I also own a HYPERBOLT which is capable up to 16400 DPI and has 13 Assignable Buttons.

Easily connected, good quality, great value
Color: Purple
This is a well made, quality product. Its fast or slow depending on how you set it up. I have dropped mine at least a dozen times. No not on purpose. I am partially paralyzed and my fingers basically work but they are numb. I tend to drop things. It looks great. The lighting is sufficient. It is gamer friendly. The scrolls easily. It's a great value for the money. It has sleep-mode.
