EP88: A Presidential Sized Comeback: The Story of Ulysses S. Grant and Co-Founder of The Ritz Carlton

On this episode of Our American Stories, Dr. John Marszalek and Eddie Rangel of the Grant Presidential Library tell the story about how Grant went from selling firewood on a street corner, to leading the US Army to victory in the Civil War. Sometimes the only way to deal with someone acting tough is to be tough back; however, sometimes you need to accept responsibility, even if you’re not the one who made the decision because, as Horst Schulze says, there’s a difference between “management” and “leadership.”Support the show (https://www.ouramericanstories.com/donate)Time Codes:00:00 - A Presidential Sized Comeback: The Story of Ulysses S.
