| Summary: | This case study uses the ancient Egyptian text "The Deliverance of Mankind" to examine the various issues that leaders encounter when faced with combative or hostile subordinates. It not only questions what a leader should do when facing insubordination but also considers how to handle over-reactions while drawing on the eternal insight that leaders depend on their followers and subordinates. By presenting one ancient Egyptian view of these problems, students are transported to a different time, full of unrecognizable names and beliefs, but they end up finding themselves staring at very modern and eternally human problems. This allows them to critically engage with the pervasive problem of discontent among followers and leadership retribution while recognizing the persistent and perennial problem of leader-subordinate tension. |
