Description
‘Leadership’ as a concept, not necessarily using that term, has had various manifestations of the ages. In certain kinds of history classes, ‘Great Men’ were people who ‘created history’—in the way that sports reporters talk of cricketers and footballers ‘making history’ when their scores or feats exceed the norm. Traditional views of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and Winston Churchill stem from this mode of understanding history.
Yet there is another, diametrically opposed view which would suggest that when times and circumstances demand it, a leader emerges. Wat Tyler, Martin Luther King, and the leaders of the Mau Rebellion might be seen as such leaders.
