ABSTRACT
This chapter shows a more complex view of leadership. It examines the relationship between leaders and followers. It presents a directive style of leadership in which the leader makes decisions without the influence of the followers. It also presents a facilitative style in which followers are empowered to make decisions. These two contrasting views are explored through the works of two philosophers, Ayn Rand representing the directive approach and Karl Marx representing the facilitative approach. The artifacts used in this chapter are Rand’s short story Anthem and Marx and Engels’s The Communist Manifesto.
