I don't know that his sketches answer the questions of what leads to creativity or what makes a great leader, (I doubt if any sketch could) at least not my reading of them. This is mostly a book about the elite by a member of the elite. These are mostly sketches or parts of books that he wrote previously, kind of a mish-mash of various lengths. Those that he studied in depth by writing a book were rather interesting (Einstein, Kissinger), others are mercifully short.
