The Will to Lead
Leadership arguments reveal whose responsibility and legitimacy a proposed order assumes.
Published · publisher and retailer options
Pragmatic review
The former Danish prime minister and NATO secretary general argues for American global leadership. Its use is as a clear statement of a strategic worldview: identify the coalition, the threat model and the responsibilities the author assigns. Read it to analyse an argument about leadership, rather than to borrow the authority of a former officeholder.
WTM Signal Review
WTM’s judgement: a useful position to interrogate, with political commitments that require opposing perspectives. A case for leadership must address legitimacy, accountability and consequences for people outside the leading coalition. Distinguish a persuasive policy argument from a neutral account of world affairs.
One practical next step
Write the argument’s assumptions, intended beneficiaries and strongest counterargument before agreeing with its conclusion.
