Is it a natural or learned set of skills? This book examines the personalities of a selected group of political leaders, analyzes the forces that formed their nature--most notably their leadership tendencies--and then demonstrates how character has shaped important political decisions made during their regime. The authors profile 20 different leaders from across five continents, deriving shared personality traits and defining specific leadership styles based on characteristics and circumstances. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe work begins by introducing the field of political psychology and explaining the theoretical framework used in studying the leadership personalities covered in the book. An analysis of leadership across the world considers several types of regimes: authoritarian leaders in non-democratic and democratic societies, authoritarian mixed types, flexible and pragmatic types, and those who combine flexibility with delegation. The text concludes by comparing leaders across time and location, discussing interaction between specific heads of state. Leaders profiled include Nelson Mandela, Kofi Annan, Saddam Hussein, V當lav Havel, Angela Merkel, and Emperor Hirohito, among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Krasno, Sean Lapides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1440839107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781440839108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.30d","brand":"Jean Krasno","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44066188656895,"sku":"9781440839108","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b521b55-e817-4398-b169-8468afa21d29.jpg?v=1685405816","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/personality-political-leadership-and-decision-jean-krasno-9781440839108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
