En un momento como el actual, en el que los políticos centran la atención de los ciudadanos, nuestra sociedad, decepcionada con los máximos representantes de la democracia española y los candidatos a serlo, demanda más y mejor liderazgo político. Pero ¿cómo podemos evaluar los éxitos y fracasos de los presidentes españoles? ¿Qué factores han influido más en su mandato: su personalidad o la oportunidad y el contexto? Con objetividad académica y estilo cercano, José Luis Álvarez explica el auge y la trayectoria de los presidentes Adolfo Suárez, Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo, Felipe González, José María Aznar, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, Mariano Rajoy y Pedro Sánchez y otras cuestiones que hoy se revelan vitales por el impacto que han tenido en la ciudadanía. ¿Cuánto ansían el poder y qué precio están dispuestos a pagar? ¿Son nuestros políticos visionarios o gestores? ¿Cuál es su estilo de toma de decisiones? ¿De qué colaboradores se rodean? ¿Quieren y pueden transformar el país? Los presidentes españoles es un libro de lectura imprescindible en el que encontrarás todas las herramientas que te permitirán evaluar el liderazgo predidencual en particular y político en general. Además la obra dedica especial atención al aprendizaje mutuo entre el liderazgo presidencial y el liderazgo empresarial.
