The literature on leadership assumes that there is a generic concept of leadership. Thetypical format of books on leadership is a life story in which the leader says: I grew up in impoverished surroundings but by hard work
I became the great leader I am today. I discovered these four, seven or eleven rules of leadership
that I will share with you so that you too can be a leader. Nearly all these books are written by men. Either women have not caught up in this area or perhaps the idea of leader has a peculiar male bias
