The Foundation of Leadership | Johannes van Baardewijk | TEDxLitai Cambridge Youth
In this speech it will be explained how any group is defined by an ideal image of the perfect group member that lives in the minds of people in the group. This image is the group identity. The leader of the group is the group member that looks and behaves most like this ideal image. The leader replicates the ideal image. On the basis of this foundational model one can understand the identity of a leader, the actions of a leader, the power of a leader, and the presence of a leader. The conclusion will be that the foundation of leadership is embracing the ideal image that defines the group. Dr. Johannes is a responsible principal, who inspired hundreds of students each year. He is excellent in public speaking and very enthusiastic for education. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
