Here’s the set-up for What Churchill Would Do by Stuart Finlay:
The book takes Winston Churchill’s talents for managing WW2 and places some of the lessons learned into a modern context for people to use in everyday business. People who like WW2 will love the book as will those who might like the idea of using a few ideas from Churchill in their daily life.
From the author:
To really gain an insight into how Winston Churchill managed WW2, you need to read the many thousands of memos he wrote during the war. Churchill’s memoirs are packed full of stories and information, however they were written in the rosy glow of victory. The memo’s tell the real story; written in the heat of the moment they provide a lasting imprint of who Churchill really was and, more importantly for my book, how he went about saving the west from an unspeakable tyranny.
To be clear, this is a business focused book with a twist. It is 80% history, 20% business and 100% entertaining and informative, with lots of surprises thrown in for good measure.
The subtitle of the book states “Practical Business Advice Based on Winston’s WW2 Wisdom.” There was something about Churchill that marked him as special.
