It contrasts this view with historical determinism, presenting classical and modern thinkers who regard individuals as agents of larger forces. Tolstoy’s case from War and Peace is used to illustrate inevitability in war and the limited causal role of leaders. The excerpt also distinguishes determinism’s forms, linking rigid determinism to the denial of freedom and responsibility.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/genghis-khan-brenda-lange-on-leadership/326657/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/genghis-khan-brenda-lange-on-leadership/326657.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Eden","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-30","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"How does the text define leadership in relation to history?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Leadership is presented as a public transaction with history, where individuals can move, inspire, and mobilize masses toward shared ends and leave a personal stamp on historical outcomes.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"What is historical determinism, and how does it affect the role of leaders?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Historical determinism holds that larger forces determine events, reducing individuals—especially leaders—to minor roles.

may be said,is really what makes the world go round.Love no doubt smoothes the passage;but love is a private transactionbetween consenting adults.Leadership is a public transaction with history.The idea of leadershipaffirms the capacity of individuals to move,inspire,and mobilize masses of people so that they act together in pursuit of anend.Sometimes leadership serves good purposes,sometimes bad;butwhether the end is benign or evil,great leaders are those men and womenwho leave their personal stamp on history.  \nNow,the very concept of leadership implies the proposition thatindividuals can make a difference.This proposition has never beenuniversally accepted.From classical times to the present day,eminentthinkers have regarded individuals as no more than the agents and pawnsof larger forces,whether the gods and goddesses of the ancient world or,in the modern era,race,class,nation,the dialectic,the will of the people,the spirit of the times,history itself.Against such forces,the individualdwindles into insignificance.  \nSo contends the thesis of historical determinism.Tolstoy's greatnovel War and Peace offers a famous statement of the case.Why,Tolstoyasked,did millions of men in the Napoleonic Wars,denying their humanfeelings and their common sense,move back and forth across Europeslaughtering their fellows?\"The war,”Tolstoy answered,\"was boundto happen simply because it was bound to happen.\"All prior historydetermined it.As for leaders,they,Tolstoy said,\"are but the labelsthat serve to give a name to an end and,like labels,they have the leastpossible connection with the event.\"The greater the leader,\"the moreconspicuous the inevitability and the predestination of every act hecommits.\"The leader,said Tolstoy,is “the slave of history.\"  \nDeterminism takes many forms.Marxism is the determinism ofclass.Nazism the determinism of race.But the idea of men and womenas the slaves of history runs athwart the deepest human instincts.Rigiddeterminism abolishes the idea of human freedom—the assumption offree choice that underlies every move we make,every word we speak,every thought we think.It abolishes the idea of human responsibility,","cbCaial7gTbpdFGa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaial7gTbpdFGa","pdf",9316579,112,"English","# On Leadership\n## The Many Sides of Genghis Khan\n## The Land of the Mongols\n## The Boy of
