Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the man make the times or do the times make the man? In Leadership in Turbulent Times, Goodwin draws upon four of the presidents she has studied most closely--Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)--to show how they first recognized leadership qualities within themselves, and were recognized by others as leaders. No common pattern describes the trajectory of leadership. Although set apart in background, abilities, and temperament, these men shared a fierce ambition and a deep-seated resilience that enabled them to surmount uncommon adversity. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others.

The audio edition also includes archival recordings of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Robert F. Kennedy.    An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s    by Doris Kearns Goodwin, one of America's most beloved historians, artfully weaves together biography, memoir, and history. She takes you along on the emotional journey she and her husband, Richard (Dick) Goodwin embarked upon in the last years of his life.  Dick and Doris Goodwin were married for forty-two years and married to American history even longer. In his twenties, Dick was one of the brilliant young men of John F. Kennedy's New Frontier. In his thirties he both named and helped design Lyndon Johnson's Great Society and was a speechwriter and close advisor to Robert Kennedy. Doris Kearns was a twenty-four-year-old graduate student when selected as a White House Fellow. She worked directly for Lyndon Johnson and later assisted on his memoir.   Over the years, with humor, anger, frustration, and in the end, a growing understanding, Dick and Doris had argued over the achievements and failings of the leaders they served and observed, debating the progress and unfinished promises of the country they both loved.   The Goodwins' last great adventure involved finally opening the more than three hundred boxes of letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia that Dick had saved for more than fifty years. They soon realized they had before them an unparalleled personal time capsule of the 1960s, illuminating public and private moments of a decade when individuals were powered by the conviction they could make a difference; a time, like today, marked by struggles for racial and economic justice, a time when lines were drawn and loyalties tested.   Their expedition gave Dick's last years renewed purpose and determination. It gave Doris the opportunity to connect and reconnect with participants and witnesses of pivotal moments of the 1960s. And it gave them both an opportunity to make fresh assessments of the central figures of the time—John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, and especially Lyndon Johnson, who greatly impacted both their lives. The voyage of remembrance brought unexpected discoveries, forgiveness, and the renewal of old dreams, reviving the hope that the youth of today will carry forward this unfinished love story with America.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2383052</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2383052</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goodwin, Doris Kearns]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2383052218</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Personal History of the 1960s</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781797168982/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wait Till Next Year]]></title><description><![CDATA[Wait Till Next Yearis the story of a young girl growing up in the suburbs of New York in the 1950s, when owning a single-family home on a tree-lined street meant the realization of dreams, when everyone knew everyone else on the block, and the children gathered in the streets to play from sunup to sundown. The neighborhood was equally divided among Dodger, Giant, and Yankee fans, and the corner stores were the scenes of fierce and affectionate rivalries.The narrative begins in 1949 at the dawn of a glorious era in baseball, an era that saw one of the three New York teams competing in the World Series every year, and era when the lineups on most teams remained basically intact year after year, allowing fans to extend loyalty and love to their chosen teams, knowing that for the most part, their favorite players would return the following year, exhibiting their familiar strengths, weaknesses, quirks, and habits. Never would there be a better time to be a Brooklyn Dodger fan. But in 1957 it all came to an abrupt end when the Dodgers (and the Giants) were forcibly uprooted from New York and transplanted to California.Shortly after the Dodgers left, Kearns' mother dies, and the family moved from the old neighborhood to an apartment on the other side of town. This move coincided with the move of several other families on the block and with the decline of the corner store as the supermarket began to take over. It was the end of an era and the beginning of another and, for Kearns, the end of childhood.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2205091</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2205091</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goodwin, Doris Kearns]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2006 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2205091218</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>A Memoir</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780743592109/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Leadership Journey]]></title><description><![CDATA[From #1  New York Times  bestselling author, Pulitzer Prize winner, and leading historian Doris Kearns Goodwin comes an essential middle grade guide to Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson and how they became leaders.

Historian Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius, as the one-term congressman rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals to become president. When Lincoln emerged as the victor at the Republican National Convention, his rivals were dismayed. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery led inexorably to civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was because of his extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires. It was this that enabled Lincoln to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2019598</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2019598</guid><category><![CDATA[AB]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goodwin, Doris Kearns]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2019598218</comments><format>AB</format><subtitle>The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780743590686/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Team of Rivals]]></title><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1770908</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C1770908</guid><category><![CDATA[BOOK_CD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goodwin, Doris Kearns]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1770908218</comments><format>BOOK_CD</format><subtitle>[the Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln]</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780743539135/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership]]></title><description><![CDATA[NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "After five decades of magisterial output, Doris Kearns Goodwin leads the league of presidential historians. Insight is her imprint."-USA TODAY "A book like Leadership should help us raise our expectations of our national leaders, our country and ourselves."-The Washington Post "We can only hope that a few of Goodwin's many readers will find in her subjects' examples a margin of inspiration and a resolve to steer the country to a better place."-The New York Times Book Review In this culmination of five decades of acclaimed studies in presidential history, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Doris Kearns Goodwin offers an illuminating exploration of the early development, growth, and exercise of leadership.Are leaders born or made? Where does ambition come from? How does adversity affect the growth of leadership? Does the leader make the times or do the times make the leader?  In Leadership, Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closely-Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)-to show how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others. By looking back to their first entries into public life, we encounter them at a time when their paths were filled with confusion, fear, and hope.  Leadership tells the story of how they all collided with dramatic reversals that disrupted their lives and threatened to shatter forever their ambitions. Nonetheless, they all emerged fitted to confront the contours and dilemmas of their times.  No common pattern describes the trajectory of leadership. Although set apart in background, abilities, and temperament, these men shared a fierce ambition and a deep-seated resilience that enabled them to surmount uncommon hardships. At their best, all four were guided by a sense of moral purpose. At moments of great challenge, they were able to summon their talents to enlarge the opportunities and lives of others.  This seminal work provides an accessible and essential road map for aspiring and established leaders in every field. In today's polarized world, these stories of authentic leadership in times of apprehension and fracture take on a singular urgency.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2231050</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S218C2231050</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goodwin, Doris Kearns]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2018 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2231050218</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>In Turbulent Times</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781476795942/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream]]></title><description><![CDATA[An engrossing biography of President Lyndon Johnson from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Team of Rivals Hailed by the New York Times as "the most penetrating, fascinating political biography I have ever read," Doris Kearns Goodwin's extraordinary and insightful book draws from meticulous research in addition to the author's time spent working at the White House from 1967 to 1969. After Lyndon Johnson's term ended, Goodwin remained his confidante and assisted in the preparation of his memoir. In Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream she traces the 36th president's life from childhood to his early days in politics, and from his leadership of the Senate to his presidency, analyzing his dramatic years in the White House, including both his historic domestic triumphs and his failures in Vietnam. Drawn from personal anecdotes and candid conversation with Johnson, Goodwin paints a rich and complicated portrait of one of our nation's

Kearns Goodwin's modern classic about the political genius of Abraham Lincoln, his unlikely presidency, and his cabinet of former political foes.</B><BR> <BR><B>Winner of the prestigious Lincoln Prize and the inspiration for the Oscar Award winning–film <I>Lincoln</I>, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, directed by Steven Spielberg, and written by Tony Kushner.</B><BR>On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry.<BR> <BR> Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires.<BR> <BR> It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war.<BR> <BR> We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet. He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through.<BR> <BR> This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history.]]></description><link>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C81649</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S980C81649</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Goodwin, Doris Kearns]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://toledo.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/81649980</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780743553704/MC.GIF&amp;client=tlcovega&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item></channel></rss>
