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.”
