Churchill And Dunkirk: Finding Victory Inside Defeat
Churchill And Dunkirk: Finding Victory Inside Defeat
Leaders, here is a tool that will help you guide your organization through the tough times.
Leadership is exhilarating, but it is also full of downturns and disappointments. The good news is that leaders can find victory inside their “defeats.” Winston Churchill shows us how. Churchill’s leadership during the battle and evacuation at Dunkirk provides eleven principles for leaders intent on making progress in the face of peril.
Reflecting on Dunkirk, Winston Churchill said, “Wars are not won by evacuations. But there was a victory inside this deliverance, which should be noted.” In Churchill And Dunkirk: Finding Victory Inside Defeat, Tommy Kiedis combs Churchill’s account to chronicle that “victory.” More importantly he reveals how every leader can apply the principles of Churchill’s leadership to his or her own leadership challenges.
In this brief but power-packed tool you’ll discover important principles like “losing to win” and the necessity of launching your own Mosquito Armada. You will find out why General Spears was invaluable for Churchill and who plays General Spears on your team. This is historical insight with leadership application.
Millions of people are fascinated by the events at Dunkirk, but like Churchill leaders leverage the episode to find the victory inside their defeat. This tool will help.

“History is a great teacher of truth, perhaps the best. Tommy Kiedis helps leaders advance through adversity with practical leadership reflections born of Winston Churchill’s well-documented resolve from the pages of WWII accounts. Finding Victory Inside Defeat reminds me once again of the Augustinian phrase that ‘all truth is God’s truth.’”

From the words and life of Winston Churchill, used to illustrating critically important biblical principles, Kiedis delivers a resource that will give you a fresh perspective on those most difficult experiences of leadership.”
