SynopsisA collection of letters--filled with advice on leadership, goal achievement, public service, and life journeys--to youths from many of the world's most influential leaders, including four U.S. Presidents, Vladimir Putin, Mikhail Gorbachev, Donald Trump, Muhammad Ali, Cathie Black, Doreen Toben, Theodore Forstmann, and Walter Cronkite. Each letter is introduced with commentary by publisher of Leaders magazine Henry O. Dormann. The biggest-name leaders in the worlds of government, business, religion, charitable organizations, and institutes of learning dispense their advice in a beautifully packaged collection that will be the most elegant and inspiring book on Graduation Day tables., Possibly no one on Earth personally knows as many people at the helms of nations, businesses, religions, charitable organizations, and institutes of learning as Henry O. Dormann--founder, chairman, and editor-in-chief of LEADERS magazine, whose circulation is limited to such leading figures. Here, he brings together the first-ever exclusive collection of wisdom and inspiration addressed to young people from the world's most influential people--advice on leadership, goal achievement, public service, and life journeys. Letters from Leaders is a beautifully designed book comprising nearly eighty letters from those who have done so much to shape our world today--from Muhammad Ali to four U.S. Presidents, Mikhail Gorbachev, King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand and King Abdullah II of Jordan, and the Dalai Lama; from Cathie Black to T. Boone Pickens, Muriel Siebert, and Donald Trump. The letters, some as facsimile reproductions of handwritten originals, are each introduced with a biographical note by Dormann. As put so aptly by Dormann in his introduction, "All kings and queens, presidents, Nobel Laureates, chairmen and chairwomen, CEOs, and world leaders have one thing in common: They want what they have achieved to be useful and to be handed over to a younger generation. . . . The leaders in these pages have 'lived' and now offer their experiences as a treasure to ambitious and open minds--those who want to be something in life."
