What is Xenophon's theory of leadership?
True leadership, as I see it, is not merely about giving orders, but about understanding and cultivating the character of those one leads. A good leader must possess knowledge, self-discipline, and the ability to inspire loyalty through fairness and by setting a virtuous example. This involves attending to the needs and well-being of one's followers, much like a good general cares for his soldiers or a good king for his subjects, as illustrated in my 'Cyropaedia'.
