The popular historian has drawn on her deep knowledge of four presidents— including the Roosevelts and Abraham Lincoln—to highlight how each led America through crisis and how their examples can be translated into boardroom-ready jargon. Her approach to her subjects “tends toward flat-out hero worship,” but she shows “a strong knack” for weaving together the personal and political.
