Leadership In George Orwell's Animal Farm

Whenever there is power, leadership usually follows closely behind. With this in mind, Mind Tools Editorial Team explains perfectly the true meaning of leadership. It reads, "A particular danger in these situations is that people or organizations that are being managed by such an individual or group think they're being led, but they're not. There may actually be no leadership at all, with no one setting a vision and no one being inspired. This can cause serious problems in the long term." In Animal Farm Napoleon wasn't leading the animals, he was managing them. Squealer himself implied that Napoleon was a great leader, but never realized what he truly said. In Animal Farm, it reads, "Years passed. The seasons came and went, the short animal
lives fled by. A time came when there was no one who remembered the old days before the Rebellion, except Clover, Benjamin, Moses the raven, and a number of the pigs."
