Part A Overview
In Part A of Unit One, you will study the special relationship between power and leadership. By its very nature, leadership implies that a person, or group, wields more power over others than normal. Throughout history, this power has often been absolute; however, in modern business, political, and other settings (such as religion), leaders are more able to coerce their followers into doing certain things or living in a particular manner.

You will examine some of the ethical arguments for power relationships.
