Article Abstract:

British prime minister Tony Blair is compared with Otto von Bismarck, German chancellor and the architect of German unification in 1871, in an attempt to illuminate the attributes that make great leaders. It is argued that the ability to inspire others is central to being a great leader, even if you are unsettling those you are inspiring at the same time. It is suggested that both Blair and Bismarck share this ability to inspire and unsettle their followers.
