Leadership Thought Prior to 1900 The earliest study of leadership thought would be the “Great Man Theory. This theory conceptualized leaders as a single “Great Man” who knew everything and influenced others to follow him. In leadership discourse, the Great Man theory—an assertion that certain individuals, certain men, are gifts from God placed on earth to provide the lightening needed to uplift human existence—is associated mainly with Thomas Carlyle (Spector, 2015, p.250). The focal-point of this theory is that leaders’ skills are inherent and set that them apart from those around them and that these traits enable them to assume roles of power and authority.

In a world marked by uncertainty, new technology, changing demographics, and changing consumption trends, wise leaders are needed more than any time in the human history (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 2011). Nonaka and Takeuchi (2011) begin with the premise stating that, for instance, knowledge by itself did not prevent the collapse of the global financial system; conversely, uncertainty alone did not hinder the effectiveness of business leaders. Thus, leaders need the required capabilities to reinvent their organizations and face the challenges brought about by technology, demographics, and globalization.

Nice discussion post this week! You start off with a great definition of what leadership is. To me, it is hard to define what leadership is, especially in one sentence, but I agree with you that leadership is the action of leading others or an organization.
