Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds personal impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – Willpower governs acts of leadership.

Willpower is a mental capability, and if leaders develop their ability to focus on their time and energy management, and become more aware of their feelings, they may improve their willpower. Additionally, their energy balance matters: taking care of basics including paying attention to nutrition and to resting, as well as taking up some form of physical/mental practice may have a positive impact on a leader’s willpower. Practical implications – The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Findings – Even at this relatively embryonic stage, the current millennium can already boast several defining characteristics.
