On Grand Strategy by John Leis Gaddis
One big reason for taking history classes and reading books on historical events is to gain some proven wisdom and learn from past mistakes.
Successful leaders tend to share the common trait of being clever and adaptable with how best to use available resources to reach their goals.
The best leaders balance their grand ambitious vision with caution and an attention to details.
"The fox knows manay things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing." This time, the hedgehog represented a highly-driven and single-minded leader, while the fox represented someone who's cautious and sees all the obstacles in their way. With this analogy, it became apparent that the best leaders had a healthy mixture of both fox and hedgehog characteristics. Those leaders at the extreme ends of the spectrum were either too cautious or they failed to see the big picture. So, the ideal leader is part hedgehog and part fox—they can assess all the different angels while still being able to take determined action.
Throughout history, there have been power-hungry leaders who've gotten carried away with their grand ambitions. But we've also seen powerless yet clever leaders who've managed to realized their ambitions despite their shortcomings.
By making a realistic assessment of the skills they do have, a great leader can devise a plan that utilizes those skills to reach their desired goal.
Adaptability brings stability.
Focusing too much on short-term gains can work against long-term ones.
There's no exact formula to being a successful leader, but history is full of examples that show us the best ones keep their attention focused on a big end goal while seeking out a number of options to help realize it. They stay adaptable in order to navigate around totally unpredictable situations, without letting these potential problems derail their grogress.
