This is an absolutely incredible book. I think I marked up nearly every page. The book is a study of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, FDR and Lyndon Johnson, and it is so clearly the culmination of a lifetime of research… and yet somehow not overwhelming or boring. Distillation at its best! I have read extensively on each of those figures and I got a ton out of it. Even stuff I already knew, I benefited from Goodwin’s perspective. This is the perfect book to read right now—a timely reminder that leadership matters.

Doris Kearns Goodwin - her book Leadership in Turbulent Times which I've recommended if you want to understand how to be a leader in turbulent times study the leaders who went through turbulent times.

The next book I wanted to recommend this is Doris Kearns Goodwin's 'Leadership' and it's an epic book. [...] But what's um incredible about this book is it's basically like sort of her master work. [...] This is a book I wish I'd read earlier you will wish the same thing.
