Visions of Leadership

There can be no leaders without followers. But a leader who has many followers does not necessarily define good leadership (as exemplified by Hitler and other tyrants, whose style of leadership disempowered their followers and turned them into both persecutors and the persecuted). Good leadership is defined as leaders who share a vision with those who relate to them and bring them to a better place. This book analyses what it takes to become such a visionary leader, improving their followers' performance through empowerment and better working conditions. In doing so, the author examines leaders and leadership experts from different walks of life throughout history, and provides rich and original insight into successful leadership.
