In Bass\u2019 \u201cConcepts of Leadership\u201d I found it very interesting to compare and contrast the styles of leadership from then to now. Leadership styles now are obviously vastly different to the times of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. For instance, \u201cThe Odyssey advises leaders to maintain their social distance.\u201d While maintaining a social distance is obviously a good idea during Covid times it\u2019s more difficult to lead when not seeing people face to face in the modern day. The best leaders interact with their followers thus allowing them to gain more appreciation and approval from their people. This is best demonstrated by modern Presidents of the United States using their bully pulpit in order to gain more approval of the people.<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast there are certain parts of history that stay true today when defining successful leaders. Specifically when defining heroic leaders, \u201cThe Greeks admired and thought were needed in heroic leaders were (1) justice and judgement (Agamemnon), (2) wisdom and counsel (Nestor), (3) shrewdness and cunning (Odysseus), and (4) valor and activism (Achilles).\u201d\u00a0 Those are many of the qualities that Americans look for in wartime leaders. This is usually when a President has their highest approval ratings because they display exactly the qualities the Greeks say are necessary for a strong leader.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
