Walter Posch in conversation with Soli Özel
IN SEARCH OF A STRONG LEADER
Fragile Authorities and Vibrant Instability
All too frequently, leadership is reduced to a simple dichotomy: the strong versus the weak. Yet, there are myriad ways to exercise effective political leadership — as well as different ways to fail. We blame our leaders for economic downfalls and praise them for vital social reforms, but rarely do we question what makes some leaders successful while others falter.
