Drawing on his study of the lives and careers of a diverse cast of leaders in politics, business, sport and religion, Jared Diamond demonstrates how leadership effectiveness is determined by a range of complex interrelated factors, from resources to geography, culture to technology, and discusses the conditions under which a leader is most likely to make a difference, and why.
Jared Diamond is Professor of Geography at UCLA. His books include Guns, Germs, and Steel, named one of TIME’s best non-fiction books of all time, Collapse and The World Until Yesterday.
