We can learn a lot from studying those who have successfully achieved greatness. One of the best is from the Founding Fathers of the United States. They were in a period of inflation, dire economic times, turmoil in the streets and a general fear of what is going to happen. Sound familiar?
Dr. Rebecca Staton-Reinstein has written a book where she, as a lover of history and devoted student of the American Revolutionary period, draws lessons for today’s leaders. Not only does she teach us some valuable lessons, that I haven’t heard cited by other authors previously, but she interviewed several current CEOs and leaders to find out what they are doing right.
I read her book and it was a real inspiration to me. I interviewed her (see video below) via Skype video and she had some powerfully educational lessons for us. Invest about 10 minutes of your time and learn some powerful lessons that are both motivational and educational. Not only that, Rebecca, is a fun person who delivers her content with wit and wisdom for an entertaining presentation.
This is one you’re going to love and want to watch a few times. In fact, share it with your staff so they can benefit from it as well.

Stimulating interview, Terry. Wow, we certainly could use the wisdom, charisma, and dedication of those leaders today. I doubt they would have let us get into such a dismal financial and foreign relations situation.
Keep this great stuff coming our way!

Thanks for the great interview with Dr. Staton-Reinstein and for bringing this important book to our attention. It is very interesting to think about the similarities of America in 1787 and today. I particularly enjoyed her comments about having a vision and executing on a vision as that is so important for today’s leaders as well.
