Beskrivning

The Unseen Leader delivers one simple but immensely powerful point: we need to radically rethink how we discuss leadership. In this book, American historian Martin Gutmann passionately challenges the received wisdom that history's great leaders were individuals with a proclivity for action and brash words.

“The book’s impressive scholarship is balanced with an engaging and accessible writing style that targets general readers. A convincingly argued, well-researched counternarrative to the history of ‘great leaders.’” (Kirkus, kirkusreviews.com, April 14, 2024)“I loved the stories in this book that were so well researched and often showed a different perspective of historical leadership. … Highly recommended for those who want to know what is and what isn’t, ‘leadership’.” (Bob, bobselden.com, March 15, 2024)“This book was thoughtful and provocative. ... the case studies in this book, the author has aimed to shine a light on what are the truly useful and actionable takeaways from looking at these people and how they played the cards they were holding. We enjoyed it, and would recommend checking it out.” (Simon Cocking, Irish Tech News, irishtechnews.ie, November 9, 2023)
