Leaders wield considerable influence over the direction of society. Some companies have become unassailable powers with disproportionate power, and their choices have very long-term repercussions. A better understanding of leadership thus contributes to a reflection on the direction of humanity: addressing the major challenges of the 21st century requires understanding who leads the world and how. <\/p>

Leadership is a phenomenon common to all social animals, including humans. It can be studied from a sociological perspective, but also from a biological one. Research on animal leadership distinguishes four functions of the leader (directing group movements, regulating external and internal conflicts, and foraging) which can also be described through the lens of human society. <\/p>
