520 _aWill 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? By identifying and analyzing the hidden patterns of their careers, and by exploring the systems that place these leaders in positions of power.
