Biographical note
Edited by George R. Goethals, E. Claiborne Robins Distinguished Professorship in Leadership Studies and Scott T. Allison, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Richmond, USA<i>‘Sadly, books at the airport about leadership can lapse into bromides and happy talk – unsubstantiated pearls of wisdom without linking them to the real world. In contrast, this volume depends on anchoring its analysis in actual events and provides background information as context for what individual leaders will have done or said. This decision to draw from documented incidents happily contributes to the reliability of its conclusions.’</i>
- Nathan Harter, Christopher Newport University, USA,
<i>‘This series of case studies in political leadership is truly extraordinary. In these troubled times, the lessons from historical leaders, and those who surround and influence them, are important and profound. Reading these profiles in political leadership is a master class in leadership, taught by the topmost scholars in leadership studies. Many national leaders today would benefit from taking such a class.’</i>
