Who is a leader?
What will be an ideal response?
We often think that leadership is a role that a certain person has. This question can uncover how
students identify someone with a leadership role. One way to guide this discussion is by asking
whether certain well-known people are leaders. Some examples that can be used are Angela
Merkel, Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin, Pope Francis, your
instructor, and many others. The instructor can follow up with questions as to why one person is
thought of as a leader but not another one.
