Chapter Chapter 12 in Portfolio Management, 2013, pp 170-177 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Since the evolution of man, it is an instinct in our nature to follow the tract pointed out by a few leaders; we are gregarious animals in a moral as well as physical sense, and we are addicted to routine, because it is always easier to follow the opinion of others than to reason and judge for ourselves. As such the subject of leadership has been in existence since man started to follow. During the writing of our book on “Sun Tzu and the Project Battleground” (2005) both David and I realized how much of thinking and work on leading and leadership existed in China 2500 years ago. If you Google on leadership you will get literarily millions of hits within ten seconds.
