In leadership literature we come across both ‘great man’ theories (Borgatta, Couch, and Bales, 1954; Jennings, 1960) and ‘environmental ’ 23 24 LEADERSHIP AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT theories (Mumford, 1909; Murphey, 1941; Pfeffer and Salancik, 1978). The former emphasize the impact of leaders on their environment, while the latter transform the leader ‘ into a bus driver whose passengers will leave him unless he takes them in the direction they wish to go’ (Simon, 1967, p. 134). According to this view, it does not make much of a difference who is in charge; societal constraints will determine the kind of action that is taken (Pfeffer, 1977).

His life’s task became to emulate a father described by his comrades in arms as ‘magnificent … afraid of nothing … who would fight a pack of tigers in the jungle … who became the hero of the regiment’ (MacArthur, 1964, p. 9).

A person who in more normal circumstances might have led an ordinary life, has used the expectations imposed on him as a child as a basis for excellence.
