In Leaders of Influence: Balancing Power, Peacemaking, and Purpose; leadership authors and consultants, Bill Riggs and Matthew Casassa, explore the nuanced world of leadership by comparing some of the most impactful leaders across history with today’s most influential figures. This book examines how core values such as authority, compassion, innovation, and vision have shaped leaders throughout time—whether in religious, political, or corporate settings—and how these principles can be applied to today’s dynamic leadership challenges.

Through rigorous analysis and real-world case studies, the book covers how historical figures applied traits like emotional intelligence, stewardship, and peacemaking, while modern leaders demonstrate these principles in an ever-evolving corporate and digital landscape.
