Bass (1981) remarked that “Although the Oxford English Dictionary notes the appearance of the word ‘leader’ in the English language as early as the year 1300, the word “leadership” did not appear until the first half of the nineteenth century in writings about political influence and control of the British Parliament”, but these days…
