Lessons Learned from the Founding Fathers and Past Presidents.

As a history enthusiast and leadership professional I thought I would take the time to redirect my blog and make a concretive effort on lessons that can be learned from the Founding Fathers and Presidents of the United States. I am interested in personalities and how leaders are formed from their experiences and culture or in other words, what makes a person who they are. I would say my two repeated statements are “90% of what you do makes up who you are”, and “true learning is the applied lessons of life experiences”, with these two principles as foundations in researching leaders I am peeling back the layers of text in various biographies and asking what made these leaders who they became and what lessons can we take away from them. There is plenty to discover as I delve into historic leaders of the past. For my first blog entry of what I hope will become a series of entries, I will start with and intriguing personality trait of the first President of the United States, George Washington.
