Book Reviews of Sarah Palin: A New Kind of Leader

Book Review: A Portrait of the woman that is Sarah Palin
Summary: 5 Stars

I went into reading Joe Hilley's book SARAH PALIN: A NEW KIND OF LEADER with an open mind, and I think for that reason I came away with a better appreciation of the woman that has become the most talked about female contender for President since Secretary of State Clinton.

What Hilley has done is take us into the life of the woman that has become so polarizing, and allow us to see life as she sees it: as an opportunity to make a difference. Some take the soundbites by Fmr. Governor Palin as the reality of who she is, but the author goes a few steps further and allow her true motivation for her actions to come through.

After facing a setback in her political career, the author writes: "Encouraged by the outcome, she saw her defeat as an opportunity to prove she was a team player...What looked like the end was only the beginning---a beginning that opened the door to Alaska's highest office and eventually, nomination as a candidate for vice president of the United States...She attained those offices one step at a time and by following her convictions and instincts each step of the way. There was no roadmap laid out from the beginning directing her to the end...She was just a mom with some ideas, looking for a place from which those ideas could be put to use. (p.58,59)"

Take out Sarah Palin's name out of the above, and what you see is an individual attemtping to live the American dream. It reminded me of what I had been told all of my life: with hard work you can do whatever you want to.

That's what I took away from SARAH PALIN: A NEW KIND OF LEADER. Whether you agree with her politically or not, you have to respect the fact that she is living the life our forefathers told us we could have.

It is up to us what we do with that information, but hopefully it will help us to criticize less and do more to make this country the best place it can be.

Summary of Sarah Palin: A New Kind of Leader

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin s nomination as vice presidential candidate by John McCain not only changed the landscape of the current election, but also marked a shift in leadership style across our country. Exploring themes from her career in politics, her life as a hockey mom, and her strongly held Christian Faith, this book explores the leadership principles that made Palin successful.
