Do individual leaders make history or are they just part of the historical tide created by much larger forces? Where do the best and worst leaders come from and what explains how and why they come to power?

Get Tickets! 

 
Harvard Kennedy School Research Fellow and former Harvard Business School Professor Gautam Mukunda will discuss the pros/cons of “Extreme Leaders” and the inherent dangers to be wary of. He’ll use examples from politics, business, and science to explain his revolutionary theory that explains how organizations of all types really choose leaders, when they are likely to get one who will have a huge effect on them, for better or worse. He will show how to apply these theories to both picking better leaders and to increasing your own odds of success as one

"Indispensable: When Leaders Really Matter "  by Gautam Mukunda

unnamed-7

Will your next leader be insignificant or indispensable?

The importance of leadership and the impact of individual leaders has long been the subject of debate. Are they made by history, or do they make it?  Get the Book

In Indispensable, Harvard Business School professor Gautam Mukunda offers an enticingly fresh look at how and when individual leaders really can make a difference. By identifying and analyzing the hidden patterns of their careers, and by exploring the systems that place these leaders in positions of power, Indispensable sheds new light on how we may be able to identify the best leaders and what lessons we can learn, from both the process and the result.  Get the Book

Profiling a mix of historic and modern figures—from Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln to Winston Churchill and Judah Folkman—and telling the stories of how they came to power and how they made the most important decisions of their lives, Indispensable reveals how, when, and where a single individual in the right place at the right time can save or destroy the organization they lead, and even change the course of history. 

Indispensable will also help you understand this new model so you can use it in your own life—whether you’re a citizen casting a ballot, an executive choosing your next CEO, or a leader trying to make your mark.   Get the Book
