The Myth of the Strong Leader

This book challenges the belief that "strong leaders" are the most successful and admirable. It argues that collective leadership is a better option for authoritarian regimes, and that just one person making big decisions in democracies is harmful. The author examines various leaders such as FDR, Mandela, and Thatcher to identify different types and qualities of leadership. A landmark study that makes us rethink our preconceptions about what it means to lead.
