THE LEADING MENTALITY - PART 1

 THE LEADING MENTALITY - PART 1

This week, we begin a new Leadership series and I advise every one to follow closely on the series, because this will help us understand the root of Leadership and the Leading Mentality.

Firstly, we will begin with a talk about the history of Leadership. As Leadership, there are certain facts that must be understood that will explain the philosophy of Leadership. In the 1st century, there were two powerful nations - Greece and Rome. The Greeks were known for their intellectual prowess; they documented the systematic studies on human behavior. The Greeks invented most thories we now use in Leadership today. For an instance, the democracy policy that the world has adapted today was invented by the Greek. The common trait present amongst the Greek philosophers then was that they were thinkers. Great philosophers like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. They were known and are still referred to today as Great thinkers.

The Romans, on the other hand were well known for combat; they had strong military forces hence they were able to attack the Greeks and conquered them in 146B.C. Although the Romans conquered the Greeks but they never destroyed their library (one would want to think it was because of their wealth of information stored in these libraries, the Roman soldiers struck). They (i.e. the Romans) took these libraries and adopted the theories of the Greeks.

After the invasion, the Romans began to think like the Greeks. The Romans were the first country to rule the world. The Roman Empire was Rome's greatest achievement held together by the military power of one city. 

Now let us look at certain philosophies of the Greek people.

Four Philosophies of the Greek?

1. A leader is a product of certain endowments.

2. Leadership is a product of birth traits.

3. Leadership is a product of Providence.

4. Leadership is a product of charisma.
