Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Leader (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

It is true that Catherine the Great was known for her dozens of lovers and for elevating them to very high positions in her government. Not only that, she often lavished her men with riches even long after her relationships with them were long over. So great was her appreciation of men that she even assigned a soon to be ex-lover the task of finding his “successor” to her bed, which was HUGE, bigger than Marie Antoinette’s or even Cleopatra’s. She was also a very jealous woman. At one time one of her young lovers (she was 60 at the time while he was only in his twenties) slept with his 16 year old maid. Guess what Catherine did?Catherine ordered dozens of beautiful women to dress as police officers to infiltrate her lover’s bedroom. These women proceeded to whip the girl in front of the lover while naked. But this mini e-book (which should take you no more than 15 minutes to read) is not about Catherine’s love life. It is instead about her leadership wisdom – the single most important factor in her success as a great Head of State, one who expanded her Empire into territories that not even her most optimistic Generals thought was possible.Yes, Catherine the Great was a magnetic leader and a highly effective executive whose management methods were copied by her successors in the centuries following her death. You can learn from her, too.ALSO BY THIS AUTHOR ON KINDLE"Steve Jobs Death Motivation Secrets""Thinking, Fast and Furious"
