At the heart of every Great Group is a shared dream.
Personal leadership is one of the most studied topics in American life.
Indeed, I have devoted a big chunk of my professional life to better understanding its workings. The disparity of interest in those two realms of leadership is logical, given the strong individualist bent of American culture. But the more I look at the history of business, government, the arts, and the sciences, the clearer it is that few great accomplishments are ever the work of a single individual. Our mythology refuses to catch up with our reality. That's good, because the problems we face are too complex to be solved by any one person or any one discipline.
