Leadership is not new to humans and probably not exclusive to humans for that matter. Although it is clear that animals, especially in packs have leadership and organizational structures, we are not privy to the way leadership happens.
Humans on the other hand have never been shy about explaining leadership and skills going back prior to written history. In this section we will highlight some of the historic thoughts on leadership that are still valid today. If you have others please comment and we will incorporate them.
"A leader is best when people barely know he exists…when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will all say: We did it ourselves.”
— Lao-Tzu, an ancient philosopher and founder of Taoism
