First, in Bass\u2019 \u201cConcepts of Leadership\u201d, he points out that famous philosopher, Aristotle, believed in the need to teach the youth about leadership, yet some 2500 years later, we still struggle to find an accurate description or definition of leadership. However, I noticed two different leadership styles and goals emerging at different times throughout the reading. First, are the leaders who \u201ccreate myths that allow dominance over subordinates\u201d and use their power and authority to get what they want, or serve the mission they desire in a sort of narcissistic way. On the other hand, the Iliad describes a sort of servant leadership in which the leader that \u201cserves me most, or serves his country best\u201d is the most effective leader. Taoism takes this a step further to empower followers to believe that the successes were due to their efforts, and the leader\u2019s role is to cultivate the self belief and confidence for his or her followers to succeed and thrive, I am very interested to learn more about these tactics, see how they have developed, and also how they have shaped the cultures they consist in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wednesday\u2019s readings sparked two thoughts for me.
