Learning from Experience recounts George Shultz’s lifetime of experiences in government, business, and academia and describes how those experiences have shaped the way he thinks about the world. In a plainspoken manner, this book provides the reader with keys to understanding why he urges his Republican Party colleagues to adopt measures to address climate change as an insurance policy for the future, why leaders must learn to govern over diversity, and more. Far more than a simple biography, Learning from Experience makes a unique contribution to political, social, and economic thought, offering the author's reflections on experiences that have influenced his worldview.
