In this follow up to his New York Times bestselling autobiography HIGHEST DUTY,Captain 'Sully' Sullenberger engages more than a dozen distinguished Americans on the subject of leadership-where do the best of them come from? And how do the most successful and creative truly lead, motivate and inspire? Sullenberger's subjects come from fields as diverse as technology, medicine, education, sports, philanthropy, finance, law and the military.

Among those featured are Tony La Russa, the legendary baseball manager; Eugene Kranz, the NASA Flight Director during the historic Gemini and Apollo programs; Michelle Rhea, founder of the New Teacher Project; Gov. Jennifer Granholm; and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich. They are a vast assortment of individuals, yet all embody the truest sense of "moral courage" and "leadership by personal example."
