Abstract

The societal culture of a nation is embedded in its history. The Saga Age or Söguöld represents the first century of modern-day Iceland’s history and through narratives captures the determination, strong-mindedness, adaptability, and the inclination to explore new horizons and resources. These societal characteristics, along the line of continuous, challenging events, shape the core of leadership in Iceland and are further summarized in this chapter.
