Leaders

Written by General Stanley McChrystal alongside Jeff Eggers and Jason Mangone, Leaders examines common assumptions about what makes an effective leader. Rather than relying on simple formulas or traditional leadership archetypes, this thoughtful volume analyses the lives and decisions of varied historical figures to uncover how leadership truly works across different contexts.

The authors draw insights from a diverse selection of notable personalities, including Walt Disney, Coco Chanel, Albert Einstein, Maximilien Robespierre, Harriet Tubman, Margaret Thatcher and Martin Luther King. By looking at how these individuals operated in their unique environments, the book reconsiders popular myths about authority, strategy and power.

This paperback is well suited to professionals, business managers, administrators and general readers interested in biography and modern organisational thinking.
