Harry Truman had been vice president for less than a year when he inherited the White House in 1945. With little preparation, he masterfully guided the nation through the last days of World War II, the Marshall Plan, and the war in Korea. The humble, plainspoken man known for the adage ÂThe buck stops here took on the challenges the way he knew bestÂhead on.
Bestselling author Alan Axelrod offers a fascinating look at the man who made some of the most difficult decisions of the last century, through more than 150 lessons from TrumanÂs life and career. Divided among twelve chapters such as ÂBringing People Together, ÂThe Right Thing, ÂHell: Giving and Getting, and ÂFacts of the Matter, these concise principles can be used by modern-day managers in their day-to-day quest for business success. Inspirational and practical, When the Buck Stops with You is sure to join AxelrodÂs other works as a must-have volume on leadership.
