      abstract = {The Unseen Leader delivers one simple but immensely  powerful point: we need to radically rethink how we discuss  leadership. In this book, American historian Martin Gutmann  passionately challenges the received wisdom that history's  great leaders were individuals with a proclivity for action  and brash words. Drawing on extensive historical  scholarship and contemporary leadership theory, Gutmann  delves into the journeys of four unknown or misunderstood  leaders who achieved remarkable successes in vastly  different environments -- the Polar North, the deserts of  Arabia, the sugar plantations of the Caribbean, and Second  World War London. What emerges is an entirely new narrative  on leadership. Contrary to the perception of heroic  protagonists forging ahead boldly, history's truly great  leaders were often precisely those who didn't need to  generate excessive noise or activity. Instead, they  skillfully minimized dramatic circumstances. Their stories  challenge our present-day conception of leadership and can  inspire the leaders of tomorrow.},
