Insightful examples of principled leadership

This series is a goldmine of insightful, intelligent and principled thoughts on how to be a leader in public office by caring more about the task of serving the public and about your colleagues than about yourself. Obvious contrast with some current incumbents of high public office in the US. But beyond that, enormously good advice on how to be a good leader and mentor.
