Sometimes life’s most important lessons come in the most unlikely places
You are probably wondering, what kind of leadership lessons can I learn from one of the world’s most notorious terrorists? After all, he will go down in history as one of the most brutal and evil dictators because of his bad deeds?
This is likely going to be one of the most unusual books on leadership that you will ever read. It is as much about the author, Lisa Gibson’s journey as it is about Muammar Gaddafi. On December 21, 1988 their lives collided in one of the most life altering ways, when he murdered Lisa’s brother. Despite what he did, she had an unprecedented meeting with him and dedicated her life to helping the people of the country he brutalized.
Even if you think there couldn’t be anything to learn about leadership from a man like Gaddafi, delve into Lisa’s profound book and be inspired and challenged. Discover that your leadership journey is as much about learning “what not to do” in leadership as it is about learning “what to do.”
Lisa Gibson is internationally acclaimed global conflict mediator, attorney and public speaker. She is an #1 International Best-selling and award winning author of Life In Death: A Journey From Terrorism To Triumph, Releasing The Chains: Timeless Wisdom On How To Forgive Anyone For Anything and coauthor of The Expert Success Solution.

I have made good sales both on Amazon and Audible and have received best seller status in my catergory on Amazon.
As part of Gaddafi’s reform, the United States and United Nations strongly pressed Gaddafi and Libya to admit to the series of bombings in the late 1980s, which involved the deaths of American servicemen and civilians. Despite the denial Gaddafi’s regime expressed on its involvement in the actions of several Libyans who were even part of the country’s military and intelligence sector, he offered compensation to the victims of the bombings starting in 1999 (Donnelly & Serchuk, 2004). In 2006, the Libyan government met with the representatives of the 1986 LaBelle nightclub bombing victims a few times until eventually agreeing on a settlement. The series of payments by Libya to each of the victims was heavily monitored by the United States government. In 2008, Libya was found by a U.S. court directly responsible for the 1989 UTA Flight 772 bombing and Gaddafi’s government was ordered to pay a total of $6 billion in damages to the six American victims’ families and estates (Blanchard & Zanotti, 2011). The country also made a series of payments to the families of the French and German victims of both the LaBelle and UTA Flight 772 bombings
