Retired four-star general Stan McChrystal, joined by Jeff Eggers and Jason Mangone, overturns the 'great man' view of leadership in this engaging blend of history and practical insight. Through vivid profiles of thirteen influential figures—from Walt Disney and Coco Chanel to Harriet Tubman, Margaret Thatcher, Albert Einstein, and Maximilien Robespierre—Leaders reveals how myth and reality diverge.
McChrystal shows that effective leadership is shaped by circumstance, followers, and moral trade-offs rather than fixed personality traits. Empathetic and clear-eyed, the book offers managers, entrepreneurs and curious readers fresh tools to read situations, cultivate the right responses, and lead with realism.
A thoughtful, readable guide to what leadership actually demands.
