Leadership, of course, can be used in a metaphorical way. The military image had passed into the political realm
as early as Plato’s Republic in which the guardian class emerged from military training to be guided by a vision of justice for the whole polis or community. The migration of the term leader to the business world was a late nineteenth-century novelty. The word was first used for a small circle of men whose names are familiar from their conscience-salving, philanthropic organizations: Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Ford. As corporations expanded, the man in charge -- the chief executive- took on the mantle of leader. Now the leader did not have to risk his life or his life savings; one just needed an appointment by a cooperative board of trustees.
