Abstract

In the last few chapters, we have described the various elements of leadership. We now turn to three related questions. In this chapter, we consider the question of intelligence: do you have to be smart to be a leader, and, if so, in what way? In the following chapter, we examine the evidence on personality and ask what are the characteristics most associated with effective leadership? In Chap. 10, we consider what happens when it all goes wrong: when leaders fail and derail.
