The two Santiagos: What a shepherd and a fisherman can teach us about leadership

An opinion and analysis piece explores the theme of leadership through the literary figures of two characters named Santiago. The subjects comprise a young Spanish shepherd seeking treasure near the pyramids of Egypt and an aging fisherman enduring an eighty-four-day drought before sailing alone into the Gulf Stream.

The commentary examines how these two distinct journeys, originating from separate literary works by authors including Paulo Coelho, offer lessons in leadership and human experience despite the characters' vastly different worlds and challenges.
