Bass examines the history of leadership through various cultures and time periods. I found it especially interesting how he discussed \u00a0how the greater the socioeconomic divide\/stress on a country or peoples, the greater the distorted &#8220;realities&#8221; of leadership are. In my own personal studies of history I have found this statement to hold true. When people are impoverished and have little educational background (due to socioeconomic divides and class structure) they are less likely to understand what &#8220;good&#8221; \u00a0leadership looks like. Therefore they are unable to notice unfair tyrannical behavior from their leaders. This creates a distorted sense of leadership for the people and for the leaders themselves. This leads to an even more unjust society with cruel\/bad leaders. Another point Bass made jumping off of that is that to keep the leadership in check you must educate the leaders and the people in the ideals of good leadership. I believe that is why studying not only history but specifically leadership is crucial. If people can truly understand what good leadership is and looks like then they can evaluate their own leaders, or their own leadership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In his article, Concepts of Leadership, Bernard M.
