Leadership: Six Studies in World Strategy

Difficult times require bold, but at the same time measured, actions. At times when a country is faced with unprecedented challenges, the role of leaders who are ready to take responsibility and make the necessary, even unpopular, decisions in a timely manner increases dramatically. Leaders face many questions that require answers: what are the sources of social well-being and decline? What heritage should be preserved, and which should be adapted to current circumstances or even discarded? What goals should be dedicated to, and which should be abandoned?
These questions were also answered during their lives by the six famous leaders depicted by Henry Kissinger in the book “Leadership” - Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher. The distinguished author analyzes the strategies implemented by these statesmen and evaluates their successes and failures, which constitute valuable experience for leaders of today and future generations.
