Gettysburg Lessons in the Digital Age: What Worked Then Works Now.

Gettysburg Lessons in the Digital Age contains eighty-eight short stories that answer one simple question: "How can I benefit from what this person did at Gettysburg?" It proves the book's subtitle: "What Worked Then Works Now." The book forces history and in particular what happened during the Gettysburg battle to inspire and motivate the reader to succeed personally and professionally. More than two hundred and twenty life-lessons prove that the mechanisms for personal success are already present in your DNA. Leadership is a dominant theme in the book, and it demolishes the standard leadership definition criteria found in virtually every book on the subject.
