When Abraham Lincoln said, ‘You can be anything you want to
be,’ Americans, and eventually everybody everywhere, lifted their
sights. Nowadays anybody can aspire to be a leader, and nearly
everybody has to lead sometimes. In Leadership, Simon McDonald
assumes that thinking about leadership before you lead helps you to
lead better. No matter the circumstances in which we might be
called to lead – be it at work, on the sports field, or in the
community – the example of top leaders in politics and public
service (both their successes and shortcomings) can help you figure
out your own approach. As the head of HM Diplomatic Service,
McDonald was responbile for over 14,000 staff in 270 posts
worldwide, worked for six foreign secretaries, and saw five prime
ministers operate at close quarters. Observing these people
undertaking the most important and often the most difficult work in
the country, he saw the behaviours that helped them to achieve
their objectives, and those which hindered them.
