Ayatollah ʿAli Hosseini Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is one of the most controversial and influential Muslim leaders in the world today. As Iran’s main decision-maker, his theocratic ideology and decisions carry global consequences. The Political Ideology of Ayatollah Khamenei is the first book to identify and analyze the development and evolution of the theocratic ideology of the Supreme Leader from 1962 to 2014, using his own writings, speeches, and biographies, as well as literature published in the Islamic Republic of Iran. This work provides new insights into Khamenei’s political thought and behavior and their impact on Iran’s domestic, regional, and international policies. Correlating the development of Khamenei’s personality, character, and political behavior with Iran’s internal and external challenges, this study explores key issues of the Middle East region, in particular Iran’s political posture toward Israel, the United States, and the Muslim world, and the diplomatic crises unfolding over Iran’s nuclear development program. This work provides a comprehensive chronological and thematic survey of Khamenei’s life. This book will be of interest to students, scholars, researchers, diplomats, and policymakers focusing on Middle Eastern politics, Iranian affairs, Islamic studies, and international relations; and could serve as an essential resource for those striving to understand Iran’s policies toward Israel, the United States, and the Muslim world, as shaped by its supreme autocrat.

While there is no standard guideline to success in leadership per-se, there are some general principles that will consistently lead in that direction. Having a plan is often the most overlooked, yet required part of a new leadership position or challenge. Then from that plan, a basis of principles (ethos, culture, philosophy and virtues) is what will ensure a lasting effect. Leadership is generational and as such, it's the secondand third-order effects that we want to influence in our new leadership role. This book is a continuing reference guide to setting up a leadership plan with some specific desired effects. This is your guide to developing a philosophy, mission statement and a temporal plan of actions and milestones for your new leadership tenure. It also has tools that will help you draw from and foster the existing base of wisdom among your subordinates. Put shortly, you've been promoted; here's your next step. Contained are a series of simple tasks that may take months even years to be accomplished, thus giving your leadership tenure lasting effects through your immediate replacement as well as empowering their replacements to take the wheel and stand the watch! This is not a book to be read once and taken for immediate interpretation. This is an ongoing reference guide with hundreds of simple points of thought to be applied to almost any leadership challenge. What's missing in this book is what you, the leader, need to find for yourself, on your terms to develop into the book of your tenure. Good luck!
