Thomas Hardy
THE MAYOR OF CASTERBRIDGE
     
     This Hartwick Classic Leadership Case Study® considers the importance of personal character and its relationship to the success or failure of leaders. The novel charts the decline in fortune of one man, Henchard, who is the mayor mentioned in the title, and the concurrent rise of another, Farfrae, who in turn also becomes mayor.  The case study argues that an individual's character is a significant aspect of leadership because it determines to a great degree how he or she will interact with others and behave in critical circumstances.
