In: Fictional Leaders

  • Peter Villiers

Abstract

Leaders or aspiring practitioners of leadership in the modern world might, at first sight, appear to have little to learn from the life, experience and writings of the writer Joseph Conrad (1857–1924), who was born in the Ukraine, served in the French and British merchant navies, and came ashore in his late thirties to become a novelist in his second adopted tongue—for French was the first foreign language in which he became fluent and in which he might have written his books.
