Paul Woodruff

Recenzje

As always, Woodruff writes clearly and cogently about complex matters by drawing from his remarkably broad and varied background as soldier, philosopher, classicist, and university leader. This is not a how-to book. It is instead a serious meditation by a serious thinker who plumbs literature and life for their lessons in good- and bad- leadership. It is also an overdue call to professors to rethink the way they teach by recognizing that their primary duty is to help their students learn how to confront decisions intelligently and ethically. We have an urgent need for moral leadership in this country today, and reading Paul Woodruff's book is the best way I know to start working on the problem.
