Henry Kissinger
Henry Kissinger examines how six extraordinary leaders he personally knew shaped their countries and influenced the world.
In Leadership, he argues that leaders operate at the intersection of past and future, balancing inherited knowledge with uncertain intuition about what lies ahead. This ability to sense direction, he suggests, is what allows them to set goals and define strategy.
Kissinger explores each leader through a distinct approach to statecraft. After World War II, Konrad Adenauer restored Germany’s place in the world through a “strategy of humility.” Charles de Gaulle reasserted France’s global standing with a “strategy of will.” During the Cold War, Richard Nixon advanced U.S. interests through a “strategy of equilibrium.” Anwar Sadat pursued peace in the Middle East with a “strategy of transcendence.” Lee Kuan Yew transformed Singapore into a powerful city-state through a “strategy of excellence.” Margaret Thatcher revived Britain’s economy and global position with a “strategy of conviction.”
Drawing on his direct relationships with these figures, Kissinger combines historical insight with personal experience, offering a unique perspective on leadership and concluding with reflections on world order and its enduring importance.
