Beginning with Alexander the Great's "résumé" and a map of his conquests, Kurke (management, Duquesne U.) presents the fourth century BC leader as a good role model--despite some glaring flaws--for current business executives. Among the lessons to be learned from him are having a bold vision, building alliances, "branding" oneself as a unifier, and inspiring loyalty. The bibliography includes ancient and modern sources.
