Through the readings of <\/span>Concepts of Leadership: The Beginnings<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>The Meaning of Leadership<\/span><\/i>, both written by Bernard M. Bass, it was interesting to read about the different meanings of leadership and leaders themselves, as well as how they maintained their power. In <\/span>Concepts of Leadership: The Beginnings, <\/span><\/i>Bass talks about how different stories and myths were created about different leaders, and that helped civilizations. Bass mentions the story <\/span>Beowolf <\/span><\/i>and others which were used as explanations for why various leaders had their power in society. In the same reading, Bass continues to talk about how leaders got support from the common people. The preferred way was if the leader gained this respect through popularity, but if this couldn\u2019t be accomplished, the leader needs to create power through violence and anger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This connects to the reading <\/span>The Meaning of Leadership <\/span><\/i>since Bass talks about the many different definitions of leadership. He continues to mention the confusion that the word \u201cleadership\u201d has with it. Continuing on this, Bass states that the definition of leadership is dependant on the environment it is said in and has to do with the ability to getting the compliance of the people in which you are \u201cleading\u201d. Overall, it was fascinating to read Bass talk about how the terms \u201cleadership\u201d and \u201cleader\u201d have different meanings depending on the person one would talk to. Hence it is important to consider the person someone is with when mentioning in the idea of who is a leader and who is not.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
