Ceaser

Did Brutus show leadership, when he lead the murder of his good friend, Caesar? Cassius brought Brutus into the plot because he thought Brutus would convince more people that the murder of Caesar was just. People considered Brutus to be a man of "honor." Being a man of honor, Brutus was thought to be a good leader.

Leadership has been described as "the process of social influence in which one person is able to enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task." According to this quote,Brutus is a leader. He convinced the common people that the murder was right. Brutus sees Marc Anthony as a powerful allie. But it back fires on Brutus. Convincing the crowd, Marc Anthony shows the same type of leadership that Brutus has shown.

In my opinion, neither one was truly a leader. Their actions do not portray their beliefs. If the odds were against them, they would say what was necessary to get them out of trouble. They wanted only to gain power and not be a good leader by leading the crowd to do the right thing.
