Abstract

In this multimedia case, classics scholar Emma Dench guides us in understanding leadership insights that can be captured from historical figures and works dating back to Ancient Rome. We learn the language, ideas, and patterns of behavior that are relevant to empowerment leadership through these ancient sources and the “standards-devotion matrix,” originally presented by Frances Frei and Anne Morriss in Unleashed: The Unapologetic Leader’s Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You. This interactive case allows for deep reflection on and development of individual strategies for effective leadership, focusing on the ability to empower, support, and create the conditions for individuals and teams to thrive.
The link to this multimedia case should be provided to students in advance as preparation for classroom case discussion.
