This work is a systematic study of the presidency of the European Commission, Drawing upon cases of attempted leadership, notably those of Jacques Delors, the Commission President from 1985-95, it examines the leadership capacity of the office-holder.

In so doing, emphasis is placed on the inherently shared nature of Commission President leadership.
