What's So Great About Strong Leaders?

LSE IDEAS public lecture

Date: Monday 28 April 2014
Time: 6.30-8pm 
Venue: Wolfson Theatre, New Academic Building
Speaker: Professor Archie Brown

The conventional wisdom, shared by many politicians and political commentators, is that strong leaders who dominate their colleagues and the policy-making process are the most successful and admirable. Brown argues this is a dangerous illusion.

Archie Brown is emeritus professor of politics at Oxford University and author, most recently, of The Myth of the Strong Leader. He is an LSE alumnus.
