Lessons in Being a Good Adviser: Louis HoweWithout Louis Howe, most historians agree, Franklin Roosevelt likely would not have become president of the United States. We discuss Howe's impact on Roosevelt this week in our latest episode of our series within the show: More Stories From the Book Crucible Leadership.You'll learn not just who Howe was and how he changed the trajectory of FDR's life — but also the lessons he can teach us all about being a good adviser. From refusing to allow those we're advising to give up when crucibles hit, to speaking truth to power to help them avoid future crucibles, these are just some of the actions Howe took that earned him the praise of history as "the man behind Roosevelt."To explore Beyond the Crucible resources, including our free Trials-to-Triumphs Self-Assessment, visit beyondthecrucible.comEnjoy the show?
