亨利-基辛格是一位出色的外交家和政治家,他研究了20世纪六位伟大人物的战略,并带来了统一的领导力和外交理论。

"领导者,"亨利-基辛格在这本引人注目的书中写道,"在两个轴的交叉点上思考和行动:

第一,在过去和未来之间;

第二,在他们所领导的人的持久价值观和愿望之间。

他们必须在他们所知道的(必然来自过去)和他们对未来的直觉之间取得平衡,而后者本质上是猜测的和不确定的。

正是这种对方向的直觉把握,使领导者能够设定目标并制定战略"。

在《领导力》一书中,基辛格通过他认为他们所体现的独特的治国策略,分析了六位杰出领导人的生活。

第二次世界大战后,康拉德-阿登纳通过基辛格所说的 "谦逊战略 "将战败且道德沦丧的德国带回了国际社会。

戴高乐通过 "意志的战略 "使法国与胜利的盟国并肩作战,重振其历史的雄风。

在冷战期间,理查德-尼克松通过 "平衡战略 "为美国带来了地缘战略优势。

经过25年的冲突,安瓦尔-萨达特通过 "超越的战略 "为中东带来了和平的愿景。

李光耀排除万难,通过 "卓越战略 "创建了一个强大的城市国家--新加坡。

虽然英国在撒切尔夫人上台时被称为 "欧洲病夫",但她通过 "信念的战略 "重振了国家的士气和国际地位。

对于每一项研究,基辛格都带来了历史感悟、公共经验和个人知识--因为他了解每个主题,并参与了他所描述的许多事件。只有基辛格才能做出的洞察力和判断丰富了《领导力》的内容,并以他对世界秩序和当今领导力的不可或缺性的思考作为结尾。


Leadership: Six Studies In World Strategy

Henry Kissinger, consummate diplomat and statesman, examines the strategies of six great twentieth-century figures and brings to life a unifying theory of leadership and diplomacy “Leaders,” writes Henry Kissinger in this compelling book, “think and act at the intersection of two axes: the first, between the past and the future; the second, between the abiding values and aspirations of those they lead. 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.” In Leadership, Kissinger analyses the lives of six extraordinary leaders through the distinctive strategies of statecraft, which he believes they embodied. After the Second World War, Konrad Adenauer brought defeated and morally bankrupt Germany back into the community of nations by what Kissinger calls “the strategy of humility.” Charles de Gaulle set France beside the victorious Allies and renewed its historic grandeur by “the strategy of will.” During the Cold War, Richard Nixon gave geostrategic advantage to the United States by “the strategy of equilibrium.” After twenty-five years of conflict, Anwar Sadat brought a vision of peace to the Middle East by a “strategy of transcendence.” Against the odds, Lee Kuan Yew created a powerhouse city-state, Singapore, by “the strategy of excellence.” And, though Britain was known as “the sick man of Europe” when Margaret Thatcher came to power, she renewed her country’s morale and international position by “the strategy of conviction.” 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. Leadership 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.
