Isabella of Spain: A Woman with Visions

Paul Vanderbroeck

Chapter 3 in Leadership Strategies for Women, 2014, pp 25-44 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Isabella of Spain—famous for sending Columbus to discover America in 1492—is universally recognized for being extremely pious, for expelling the Jews from Spain, and for instituting the dreadful Spanish Inquisition. However, this single-minded queen also unified Spain and catapulted her country from a medieval backwater into a modern and global power. She was very competent at developing high potentials into effective leaders, able to develop and realize ambitious and inspiring visions, and a fan of innovative technology—just to mention a few of her impressive leadership attributes.
