Leadership as a term and concept has only been around since the 1900's so we start our timeline there.
Leadership ideas
- 1900's great men were born with specific traits
- Late 40's Rise of unions took power away from the one great leader idea and gave it to the people
- 50's - 60's Depression saw the reversal of the earlier trend as contingency leaders rose, one strong leader to pull people out of the pit
- 90's were all about vision, so if people didn't feel fulfilled in their job or in the vision they just switched work, no loyalty.
- 1995+ The fall of Enron and other companies bring the concept of morality into leadership.
Leaders we look to also seem to have switched from political leaders like Winston Churchill to business leaders like Donald Trump.
