Great leadership is built by on-the-job learning—but also by reflection. Studying history and literature of ancient kings and heroes can deepen your practice
The first step is simply to identify instances of leadership, “just as an entomologist might collect different kinds of butterflies.” As you read, he explained, collect examples of someone “exercising authority, delivering a persuasive speech, articulating a problem, making a decision on behalf of a group. And look beyond roles and titles that are the traditional markers of leadership.": Next break the examples into constituent parts and explore the implications.
“The key is to translate your analysis to how you see yourself and what problems you see facing your organization. Do you find the examples of ancient leadership analogous to contemporary ones? If not, what do the differences tell you about your issues today?”: In this next step, readers judge leaders' morality and/or effectiveness in the story.
