A provocative treatise on the requirements of leadership in the
modern world The role of leaders is never more crucial than during
times of war. The ability to inspire confidence and communicate
resolution is essential to the national interest. The requirements
of leadership are not limited to military affairs: citizens look to
leaders to guide the economy, protect the laws, and safeguard
national values. Leadership has never been simple, but it is even
more complicated in the age of mass democracy: globalization, the
power of the media, and the constraints of bureaucracy are among
the many challenges facing leaders at the beginning of the
twenty-first century. What do leaders need to know in order to be
effective? Carnes Lord-an eminent political scientist who has held
a number of high-level positions in the United States
government-here offers witty and trenchant counsel to both leaders
and the citizens who elect them. Exploring such issues as
leadership in war and crises, diplomacy, the use of secret
intelligence, the role of political advisors, and the media, Lord
enumerates the major challenges confronting modern leaders and
offers practical advice on how leaders can deal with them
effectively.
