Hello Deborah,
Thank you for your
question. The concept of leadership originated from the concept of associations or groups.
The first association was established when the Creator of the Universe associated matter with Space.
Since then, there have been all sorts of associations. Human associations always
need coordination and focus. Those responsible for ensuring that an association stay focused on its mission are the leaders of the association.
An association can be a family, a community, a business, a country, etc. No matter its type, an association needs focus and consequently,
it needs leaders.
Now, if humans are supposed to be very intelligent why can they coordinate themselves? There are groups of humans
who do coordinate themselves. This scenario does not mean that there are no leaders. It means that there is collective responsibility for the coordination and
focus of the association. In other words, collective leadership.
Collective Leadership is difficult to implement in a complex association, that is, an association with a complex mission, a
large and highly heterogeneous population.
