Napoleon, Bill Gates, George W. Bush, Osama bin Laden. Leaders and the concept of leadership is an old but still hot topic. What is leadership? How does one become a leader? Do we really need a leader? In this book, Keith Grint gives fascinating answers to these questions and encourages readers to rethink their assumptions about leadership. Grint argues that leadership is a slippery concept, and that is why the plethora of books on leadership, despite the controversy they create, have not adequately answered the above questions. But important questions are raised here that reveal why the concept of leadership resists being defined. Keith Grint discusses how the concept of leadership evolved in ancient societies, takes a look at the definition of Plato, Su Su, Machiavelli, and others, and shows how political, economic, and social forces weaken certain leadership practices.
