James MacGregor Burns, pulitzer prize winner has produced another winner! This is an easy read where Burns produces a thesis focused on how the truly great leaders are transformers. They mobilize and respond to followers and create changes that are real, deep, comprehensive, durable, grounded in values. I was especially interested in Thomas Jefferson, and how his writing of the Declaration of Independence was a great example of the how great IDEAs can be written that portrays the needs and ideas of the colonists succinctly.
