Gardner, Howard, with Emma Laskin. Leading Minds: An Anatomy of Leadership. New York, NY: Basic Books, 1995.
| In this volume Dr. Gardner pursues the concept of 'leadership' and he uses the lives of eleven contemporary 'leaders' - whether good or bad - to illustrate what he considers leadership qualities to be. Not all of them were political or military and most of them had their personal blemishes and failures (Gardner makes no attempt to hide these but, rather, lists them in a compilation at the end of the book) but the eleven all showed this characteristic: they "significantly affected the thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors of a significant number of individuals". They are: Margaret Mead, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Robert Maynard Hutchins, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr, George C. Marshall, Pope John XXIII, Eleanor Roosevelt, Martin Luther king, Jr, Margaret Thatcher, Jean Monnet, and Mahatma Gandhi. |
