Know yourself. Know your friends. Know the enemy. Lead the way.
What makes a good and true leaderÂbrute power and force? The ability to persuade? Simply holding an influential position? Joseph M. Marshall III, the renowned author of the bestselling The Lakota Way, says no. Reminding us that those who hold public office are first and foremost politicians, and that corporate bigwigs serve the bottom line, Marshall presents us with a different idea of leadership, one drawn from his own Lakota Sioux culture. ÂTrue leadership,â he informs us, Âis only possible when character is more important than authority.â
Marshall III draws inspiration from three names that have resonated powerfully throughout history to develop his unique concept of leadership: Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, and, especially Crazy Horse, whose fascinating life Marshall already chronicled in a biography that Publishers Weekly praised as Âvivid and haunting.â Crazy Horse did not teach leadership; he simply demonstrated it, effectively and with compassion. Four factors stand out when looking at him as a leader, and they were the basis of his success:

The Power of Four shows how and why these maximsÂand this Native American philosophy of leadershipÂis not only applicable to todayâs world, but desperately needed: why leadership by example is more powerful than authority; and why the selection of leaders also becomes one way of controlling those very same leaders. Marshall will open readersâ eyes and help them discover how to apply a new set of principles and actions to their own lives.
