Theories of Leadership: Great Men and Great Women

PSYCHIATRIC VIEWS ON THE DAILY NEWS
Last Friday I introduced a series of columns on leadership, and noted there have been a variety of leadership theories. One of them is the great man theory, which was established by the philosopher Aristotle among others. It was an obvious reflection, for better or worse, of historical patriarchal domination. That explanation is further confirmed by the fact that the 5 leaders I mentioned were all men. Whether they could be considered great in any sense of that term is debatable, although the recently assassinated Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was touted as such for bringing Japan out of a malaise and for forming productive relationships with our presidents.
Given that the rest of the men are in political duress, the necessary question is whether more women leaders would be better. This would convey the great woman theory. Although historically women leaders have been a distinct minority, there have been some prominent female political leaders. If fact, some may say that Vladimir Putin is modeling himself after Catherine the Great, who expanded the Russian empire in the 18th century by, among other things, conquering Crimea and western Ukraine.
