Of course, that was the aim of his magisterial scholarly work, and while unquestionably impressive, his tome turned out to be by no means the last word on the topic. Indeed over the intervening quarter century, quite to the contrary, we witnessed a continuously increasing outpouring of specialized political science, historical, philosophical, psychological, and other disciplinary studies with clearly ―no school of leadership‖with a single unifying theory emerging.

  • Golden Icon Award to Judi Dench
    Golden Icon Award to Judi Dench From the Queen of England to secret agent James Bond’s superior: there’s no character that Judi Dench cannot play. Born in York in 1934, this exceptional actor already attracted a great deal of attention during her early theatre career with the Royal Shakespeare Company. She received a record-breaking eight Olivier Awards during her life on stage. Dench, who first appeared on screen in the drama THE THIRD SECRET (1964), went on to accumulate six Academy Award nominations, before finally winning an Oscar for her short but extraordinary portrayal of Elisabeth I in SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE (1998). Her most memorable roles include playing a teacher in NOTES ON A SCANDAL (2006) and the title role in Stephen Frears’ PHILOMENA (2013). Dench played the legendary „M“ in the James Bond franchise, from GOLDENEYE in 1995 to SPECTRE in 2015. This versatile character actor also delighted critics and audiences alike in the TV series A FINE ROMANCE (1981–1984) and AS TIME GOES BY (1992–2004). The British Dame will travel to Zurich to present her most recent film RED JOAN, which screens after she receives the accolade at the Corso cinema on October 3. Award ceremony: Wednesday, October 3, 20:45 Corso 1 6 A Tribute to...
