Accomplished political leaders have a clear strategy for turning
political visions into reality. Through well-honed analytical,
political, and emotional intelligence, leaders chart paths to
promising futures that include economic growth, material
prosperity, and human well-being. Alas, such leaders are rare in
the developing world, where often institutions are weak and greed
and corruption strong - and where responsible leadership therefore
has the potential to effect the greatest change. In "Transformative
Political Leadership", Robert I. Rotberg focuses on the role of
leadership in politics and argues that accomplished leaders
demonstrate a particular set of skills. Through illustrative case
studies of leaders who have performed ably in the developing world
- among them Nelson Mandela in South Africa, Seretse Khama in
Botswana, Lee Kuan Yew in Singapore, and Kemal Ataturk in Turkey -
Rotberg examines how these leaders transformed their respective
countries. The importance of capable leadership is woefully
understudied in political science, and this book will be an
important tool in exploring how leaders lead and how nations and
institutions are built.
