| Abstract: | This paper presents a mythological analysis that compare God's leadership in the Abraham myth with modern visionary, ethical and situational leadership to find similarities reflecting continuities in human thinking about leadership over as long as 3600 years. The leadership archetype that emerges is of a leader that develops his/her follower by reliably maintaining a vision, behaving according to firm ethical values even when it weakens the leader's authority, accepting suffering when the follower behaves with arrogance in an attempt to overthrow the leader. |
