Leaders
Myth and Reality
Book • 2018
In 'Leaders: Myth and Reality', Stanley McChrystal, along with co-authors Jeff Eggers and Jay Mangone, examines the myth of leadership by profiling thirteen leaders from various eras and fields.
Using Plutarch’s 'Lives' as a model, the authors pair leaders to study the act of leadership itself, highlighting how leadership works in practice and challenging three key myths: the Formulaic Myth, the Attribution Myth, and the Results Myth.
The book explores how leadership is intensely contextual, dependent on followers and environmental factors, and symbolizes what followers want or need.
It includes profiles of leaders such as Walt Disney, Coco Chanel, Robert E. Lee, Martin Luther, and Martin Luther King Jr., among others, to provide a nuanced understanding of leadership.
