The blog before this one introduced America’s First Great Leader: William Bradford, Governor of the Pilgrims (read here). The blog condensed his accomplishments into a short, fictional “resume.” Subscribers to my blog requested more. So, this blog offers you a free 44-page book, featuring illustrations by Norman Rockwell.
Having interviewed and coached over 6,000 C-Suite leaders, I can confidently say that when comparing these A-Player executives with Governor Bradford, he outperforms almost all of them. He literally built a new nation-state from scratch. The free book elaborates on how he laid the groundwork for America, with vivid “scenes” that provide powerful color commentary on HOW he succeeded despite horrendous challenges.
Feedback from executives emphasized how William Bradford elevated their hiring expectations. They noted that Bradford, when faced with countless life-or-death crises, demonstrated intellectual, personal, and interpersonal skills that are exceedingly rare. One reader remarked, “I’m determined to implement intelligent candidate sourcing and a truly scalable recruitment method. Reflecting on Bradford’s courage, brilliance, and refusal to give up, I now strive to hire people who exhibit those same competencies.”
