Here’s another great thing from the Wolvertoon archives! Eleven years ago I did a four-part series on leadership. This was a mere four years after I earned my M.A. in organizational behavior, with an emphasis in creative groups. After giving it four years to settle and ferment, I came to this profound and erudite conclusion: leadership / schmeedership. Yes it’s a necessary evil, but wouldn’t it be better if we were all responsible enough to have anarchy? Accordingly, these four cartoons, which I will update over then next week or two, summarize my thoughts on leadership. By way of introduction — leadership is not a trait or a collection of traits, but rather a reciprocal agreement in a specific context between a specific leader (or group of leaders) and a specific group of followers. You give me direction and make decisions for me — I give you money/labor/effort toward a goal. Something like that. Hence — the most basic form of leadership: coercion/submission.
