Although leadership is a widely acknowledged and accepted phenomenon, the teaching of the topic remains as varied as its multiple definitions.' For me, teaching law students about leadership is about helping students think critically about what leadership means, how people become leaders, how they exercise * Dean and William S. Pattee Professor of Law, University of Minnesota Law School. For helpful comments and suggestions, I thank Martha Chamallas, Amy Cohen, Brad Mayer, and Donald Tobin. 1. See JOSEPH S. NYE, JR., THE POWERS TO LEAD 21 (2008) (internal quotation marks omitted) (There are no generally accepted definitions of what leadership is, no dominant paradigms for studying it, and little agreement about the best strategies for developing and exercising it.)
