On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN: Today, our GPS special "How to Lead" focuses on a varied set of leaders and what lessons they can offer. Fareed interviews retired four-star Gen. Stanley McChrystal about leading young people in war—getting them to risk their own lives, to fight and kill an enemy, and the value of a leader demonstrating his or her own commitment. Civil-rights leader and US Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) tells Fareed about his experiences leading the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); Lewis recalls his own sacrifices, being beaten and jailed for the cause he championed, and how SNCC made decisions collectively in its bottom-up structure. Historian Doris Kearns Goodwin discusses the leadership qualities of US presidents, from FDR's empathy to Abraham Lincoln's humility, and Bill Gates discusses pushing employees to succeed at Microsoft, the value of having one person in charge of that business, how a more "mellow" style works for him now in his philanthropic work, and the good and bad in Steve Jobs's storied leadership style. | |
