The article below is a special posting from international leadership guru, Professor M. S. Rao, of Hyderabad, India.

I hope you will find, as I do, actionable inspiration from what can truly be called a leading family. —JMS
To be the best in the world necessitates your drawing upon all your capacities. In the doing, you will draw on what is unique in yourself.
No one can replicate it. ―James Strock
We study the lives of great leaders to refill our inspiration. Authors often turn to notable international leaders such as Abraham Lincoln and Barrack Obama to engage their readers.
In addition to eminent personalities, we must also take examples of otherwise ordinary individuals who overcame hardships and financial challenges to excel as extraordinary leaders in their own right.
Nina and Claus von Stauffenberg | Bundesarchiv Bild via Wikipedia
There was a time when they were simply a beautiful young couple in love. Nina and Claus von Stauffenberg were favored by fortune. They were aristocrats. They were patriots, dedicated to the nation from whom they sprung.
Through twists of fate they could never have imagined, Claus von Stauffenberg would become a historic figure. If anyone merits characterization as a “hero,” even in our post-heroic age, it’s he. No less a personage than Winston Churchill rendered the verdict that none could overturn: Stauffenberg was the “bravest of the best.”
It takes nothing away from Stauffenberg’s example to note that he was not alone in his heroism. In the run-up and follow-up to his crowded hour, Stauffenberg’s journey was undertaken with his family. Those who would learn from his example may benefit from the larger picture.
Professor Joel A. Mintz, of Nova Southeastern University Law School has written an informative and important book: Enforcement at the EPA: High Stakes and Hard Choices.
This comprehensive, highly readable volume holds value for anyone concerned with environmental improvement in the United States, the evolving role of law enforcement, and 21st century public administration.
