Few had a greater impact on their generation than Eleanor Roosevelt. She was what she professed to be: a person not afraid of criticism, willing to take responsability and lead by example. Her life was filled with moments of sacrifice, pain, courage, astuteness, kindness, empathy, and remarkable emotional intelligence. In The Extraordinary Leadership of Eleanor Roosevelt. Why it Matters Today, bestselling author Emilio Iodice discusses her life, her amazing leadership secrets, and skills and how she dealt with enormous challenges as a person, a human being, an American First Lady and a woman who grew up in an age of prejudice and discrimination. He illustrates why Eleanor is an important and meaningful guide for a new generation in the 21st Century, dominated by social media, political upheavals and lightning speed technological changes that are altering fundamental concepts of life and liberty.
