* UPDATED WITH A NEW FOREWORD BY THE AUTHOR * CHOSEN BY BILL GATES
AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR 2016 Archie Brown challenges the widespread
belief that 'strong leaders', dominant individual wielders of
power, are the most successful and admirable. Within authoritarian
regimes, a collective leadership is a lesser evil compared with a
personal dictatorship. Within democracies, although 'strong
leaders' are seldom as strong or independent as they purport to be,
the idea that just one person is entitled to take the big decisions
is harmful and should be resisted. Examining Franklin D. Roosevelt
and Mikhail Gorbachev, Deng Xiaoping and Nelson Mandela, Margaret
Thatcher and Tony Blair amongst many others, this landmark study
pinpoints different types and qualities of leadership. Overturning
the popular notion of the strong leader, it makes us rethink
preconceptions about what it means to lead.
