On Leadership: Lesson for the 21st Century, by Tony Blair, Penguin Random House, $32. On Leadership: Lessons for the 21st Century, by Tony Blair, offers hard-earned lessons to pass along. According to legend, when a Roman emperor rode triumphantly in his chariot through Rome, a slave stood behind him and whispered in his ear, “Look behind you. Remember you are only a man.” The intention was to remind the emperor to govern with humility and wisdom.
“When countries appear helpless on immigration, or weak in the face of extreme positions on culture war issues, we give sustenance to the populist.” On the personal side, Blair affirms the old advice of former United States president Harry Truman that if you want a friend in politics, get a dog. “You are liked and resented in varying proportions,” which ends up mirroring the leader’s feelings about the job itself.
