They must balance what they know, which is necessarily drawn from the past, with what they intuit about the future, which is inherently conjectural and uncertain. It is this intuitive grasp of direction that enables leaders to set objectives and lay down a strategy.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eLeadership\u003c\/i\u003e, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders - Konrad Adenauer, Charles de Gaulle, Richard Nixon, Anwar Sadat, Lee Kuan Yew, and Margaret Thatcher - through the distinctive strategies of statecraft that he believes they embodied. To each of these studies, Kissinger brings historical perception, public experience and, because he knew each of the subjects and participated in many of the events he describes, personal knowledge. \u003ci\u003eLeadership\u003c\/i\u003e is enriched by insights and judgements that only Kissinger could make and concludes with his reflections on world order and the indispensability of leadership today.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHenry Kissinger \u003c\/b\u003eserved in the US Army during the Second World War and subsequently held teaching posts in history and government at Harvard University for twenty years.
