Gandhi’s Heroes: Guiding Lights on a Hero’s Journey

Satinder Dhiman

Chapter Chapter 3 in Gandhi and Leadership, 2015, pp 43-61 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We all need heroes who can awaken the best in us and inspire us to be what we can be. But what is the inspiration behind a hero’s own transformation? What are the formative infuences that shape a great leader? What alchemy makes great leaders and fashions a lump of clay into the great soul of a hero? After all, exemplary leaders do not just emerge suddenly from nowhere to take charge of the prevailing situation. They mature slowly and steadily in life’s laboratory through the interplay of myriad interactive processes of nature and nurture. Gandhi’s development as an exemplary leader is no exception.
