LEADERSHIP

The purpose of this advanced collection is to explore many different selected leadership ancestries, to inform and direct the readers to the way strong, collaborative, peaceful and prosperous leadership is best practiced.

There is a very wide spectrum of reference chapters with teachings ranging from the available natural science process, to ancient philosophies (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle) to Stoicism (Marcus Aurelius in Meditations), to Egyptian (Thoth), to Asian (Confucius, Zen) to many European thinkers (Descartes, Nietzsche, Machiavelli, Locke, Rousseau). These cover general leadership principles, to political leadership systems and forms, to power laws and skills, to the strategies and art of leadership and war.

The teachings continue to the power of political institutions, to leadership economics, to leadership pedigree, to more than eighteen selected, abbreviated and widely based leadership biographies for very different roles and achievements. The text summarizes modern leadership theory and practices, to the ultimate findings for discussion and final words.

In Western societies there is widespread belief and evidence that parts of our democratic governance systems and economies are being seriously challenged, and that these are most deserving of immediate leadership attention and reset as illustrated in this “Leadership” guide book.
