Moshik Temkin, professor and author of Warriors, Rebels, and Saints: The Art of Leadership from Machiavelli to Malcolm X, joins The Realignment. In this conversation, Marshall and Moshik discuss the central question of his courses: do leaders make history or does history make leaders? They also discuss the unique leadership challenges posed by the foreign and domestic crises of the early 21st century, why "leaderless," decentralized movements across the political spectrum have failed to achieve their goals, how generational cohorts approach questions of hierarchy and activism differently, and the implications of America's coming [post-Baby Boomer and Silent Generation leadership transition.
