From the mysterious powers and forces peculiar to both individual
and community that can turn our lives into either good or bad
lives, I wish to point to two such powers being at the same time
different in their own nature and yet closely related to each
other: The powers that emerge from exemplary persons and leaders.
Understood as basic to both sociology and the philosophy of
history, it comes to us as no surprise that the problem of
exemplary persons and leaders - along with the questions of the
qualities types, selections and education of leaders; forms of
unison existing be tween leaders and their followers, all of which
belonging to the subdivisions of this problem - must be a burning
problem for a people whose historical leaders from all walks of
life have, in part, been swept away by wars and revolutions. This
fact we also find in all salient epochs of history characterized
more or less by changes in leadership. It is precisely for this
reason that in our own time every group appears to struggle ever so
hard with this problem, namely, who their leaders should be. This
pertains equally to a group within a party, to a class, to
occupations, to unions, to various schools or present-day youth
movements, and even to religious and ecclesias tical groupings.
Beyond any comparison, there is yearning everywhere for lead
ership."
