Lord Nelson was a master of leading fleets into battle. He was also a master of leading people, instinctively understanding the value of both leadership and followership. This chapter explores the leadership behaviors Nelson used to create a powerful leader/follower synergy between him and his captains, and introduces a model based on these behaviors. While the situations presented in this chapter are military, the focus is on behavioral lessons that can be taught to students and applied in a broad range of organizational settings.
