From Publishers Weekly
Following up on Ulysses Grant on Leadership, journalist Barnes offers 12 concept-based chapters that draw on the life and presidency of JFK. "Vision" centers on the "Ask Not" inaugural address; "Resilience" touches on the West Virgina primary (where JFK found a way around "the Catholic issue" to score an upset victory); "Team Building" looks at the JFK-RFK relationship and at Kennedy's crack staff of advisors (as well as when he did and didn't listen to them). Barnes gets to the anecdotal material quickly enough in each chapter to keep his rather thin concepts from buckling, and he presents it clearly and without jingoism. And Barnes does not back away from "Miscalculations and Misjudgements" and "Faults and Failings." The result is suggestive, if not overly inspiring.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: John F. Kennedy on Leadership: The Lessons and Legacy of a President (Hardcover)
This is perhaps one of the best books I've read on leadership. Of course I always like learning a little history along with some business skills, which makes this particularly appealing (having not been around for the Kennedy years in person). The book takes us through the Kennedy years and shows how JFK changed the rules of compaigning, challenged tradition, turned weaknesses into strengths, worked positively with the media, wrote speeches that reached his audience, and crafted a particular image. At the end of each chapter is a summary of lessons to be learned if you want to do the same. For anyone doing anything entrepreneurial, political and otherwise high-profile, this is a very useful guide for building a following.
