A study of the nature of leadership and the human qualities that promote or inhibit it. David Cawthon examines classical thinkers from Plato to Nietzsche to offer a historical and philosophical perspective on leadership qualities and how these are coded in the souls of some, but not others.

The nature of leadership and the human qualities that promote or inhibit it have a long history in Western thought and remain a central concern in modern societies. Crises in leadership may arise from either human failings or social complexities that defeat or reject those most qualified to lead. While most contemporary political or social commentators on such crises tend to focus on external circumstances, David Cawthon examines classical thinkers from Plato to Nietzsche to offer a historical and philosophical perspective on the intrinsic qualities of leadership and how these qualities are coded into the souls of some, but not of others.

David Cawthon was professor of management at the Meinders School of Business, Oklahoma City University.
