Abstract
This paper explores the historical and social context in which leadership actions are embedded. It argues that we need to develop a more historical notion of change forces if we are to fully understand the way in which leadership actions take place. Given the full historical context it is possible to understand the limits and intentions of leadership. The paper draws on the Annaliste School of Historical Work in France and argues that this would be a valuable methodology to use in our future leadership and policy studies.Keywords
