Assignment
Leadership is everywhere. We see it in a variety of things. While we may more commonly associate it to things like competitions or politics, it can be witnessed in the news, social media, work, and other various social systems. Leadership is so embedded in human nature that if we are left alone with other people for a while, we immediately generate a structure with leaders and followers.
