Seminar paper from the year 1999 in the subject Pedagogy - Pedagogic Psychology, grade: 1 (A), LMU Munich (Pedagogic Psychology), 13 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: Leadership is an important factor for success. Different leadership styles will be discussed in this work. One of the leading researchers in cognitive and cultural psychology, Howard Gardner, pointed out: "I view leadership as a process that occurs within the minds of individuals who live in a culture - a process that entails the capacities to create stories, to understand and evaluate these stories, and to appreciate the struggle among stories. Ultimately, certain kinds of stories will typically become predominant - in particular, stories that provide an adequate and timely sense of identity for individuals who live within a community or institution. This focus on stories presupposes that some individuals can identify with these stories, and that various individuals feel included or excluded once these stories have spread." (Gardner, 1996).
