Abstract
The following theory, shared by Richardson (1978) and others, represents an important trend within military circles:
British military experience demonstrates that leadership is a professional qualification which can be taught like any other subject. It is not metaphysical in its nature, and it is not best studied in archetypal leader figures such as Mao Tsetung, Gandhi, John Kennedy, Wingate, Lawrence of Arabia, or Montgomery. [Bidwell 1973, p. 124]
