[Hayes · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting blend of biography, 'business' case studies and lessons learnt. Some parts sounded a bit like one of my first year uni textbooks but for the by and large it was an interesting and informative read.

This wasn't so much a leadership book as it was a history book from a leadership perspective. It was still an interesting story though and I picked up some facts I did not know.

[Miguel Diaz · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book about how to be a leader but not so good about how to keep one's integrity.

JFK salah satu pemimpin dunia yg berpengaruh dan terkenal dengan karismanya. banyak keputusan yang di ambilnya mengenai ras kulit hitam kedudukannya di mata hukum. JFK juga terkenal dengan skandalnya. tetapi diluar itu dia adalah sesok presiden yg memiliki kecerdasan dalam menangani krisis dan menangani media masa untuk meningkatkan kredibilitasnya. dia bisa mengambil peluang yg ada di hadapannya dan bersikap tenang dalam menghadapi krisis yg terjadi di AS. banyak sikap yg layak dicontoh darinya dalam menghadapi orang di sekitarnya. untuk menjadi leader banyak pelajaran yg dapat dipetik darinya
