Deep dives
The impact of childhood experiences on leadership
Many leaders in history, such as Stalin, Hitler, Mao, and even Churchill, had formative and often difficult childhoods that propelled them to seek power and shaped their character. This raises the question of whether all leaders are broken in some way during childhood. However, Franklin Delano Roosevelt provides a contrast as he had a stable and loving childhood. The point is that kids given an ordinary childhood can achieve extraordinary things if they are cared for, encouraged, and made to feel that they are enough.
