Joining history and modern management thought in one volume―illuminating great men in the crucible of crisis and combat: from the strategic to the tactical, from the political to the logistical. Here is a compelling, expert-telling of the Revolutionary War in its critical human dimension: Leadership. Steven Smith and Kevin Dougherty’s collaboration is a winning combination of history and applied leadership theory as to illuminate the bloody contest in South Carolina that changed the world.” - Major General J. B. Burns, US Army (Ret.), Trustee SC RevWar250\n\nAn examination of the panorama of individuals whose leadership helped make the Patriot cause successful in South Carolina. Historians Steven D. Smith and Kevin Dougherty look beyond the towering figure of Francis Marion to profile significant personalities and actions both on and off the battlefield in this innovative approach to the Revolutionary War in South Carolina.\n\nThe book profiles a range of individuals: Henry Laurens was the President of the Council of Safety. Richard Furman was the pastor of a church; John Rutledge was the Governor of South Carolina; and Rebecca Motte was a plantation owner. William Moultrie and Andrew Pickens—perhaps most familiar as soldiers—are discussed in their non-combatant roles: Moultrie as a prisoner of war and Pickens as a post-war civic leader. Military leaders William Jasper, Thomas Sumter, Francis Marion, Isaac Shelby, Nathanael Greene, Daniel Morgan, Tadeusz Kosciuszko, Hezekiah Maham, and Henry Lee round out the selection of profiles.\n\nThe profiles are preceded by a historical overview of the Southern Campaign and the Revolutionary War in South Carolina, in order to provide the reader the background necessary to understand the leadership profiles in context. The book’s conclusion highlights that the Revolutionary War was a landmark in the “democratization” of war and that the choices made by these leaders and their followers reflect the same element of choice inherent in the democratic process.\n\nTable of Contents\n\nTable of Contents\nIntroduction\n\nOverview of the American Revolution in South Carolina\nProfiles in Leadership\nHenry Laurens and Creating Change\nRichard Furman and Charismatic Leadership\nWilliam Jasper and Heroic Leadership\nJohn Rutledge and Crisis Leadership\nThomas Sumter and Transactional Leadership\nFrancis Marion and Emotional Intelligence\nIsaac Shelby and Cooperation\nNathanael Greene and Strategic Leadership\nDaniel Morgan and Team-building\nTadeusz Kosciuszko and Planning Branches and Sequels\nHezekiah Maham and Innovation\nRebecca Motte and Leadership by Example\nHenry Lee and Negotiation\nWilliam Moultrie and Servant Leadership\nAndrew Pickens and Personal Leadership\n\nConclusion\nEndnotes\nBibliography\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1636244858\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1636244858.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Smith, Steven D.|Dougherty, Kevin\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
