This reminds me of a quote by a late mentor of mine: "Success is the attainment of goals you create for yourself." - Howard Terry

Wren's definition of leadership is the actions and interactions of success. This is similar to my working definition thus far. I haven't thought about Mr. Terry in many years, but can see through my working definition of leadership that his influence played a role in how I view success and leadership in my own life.

This sounds like nationalism and classism disguised as leadership research. The divide in leadership almost directly reflects other systemic issues of class, gender, sexual orientation, race, etc. I love courses like this one for open dialogue for these issues. Dr. Hedrick, thank you for making intentional effort to allow these conversations to happen.

This is some heavily male-centered language. I think of this story often, but there is a teacher that started using her "default" pronouns as she/her within examples, stories, etc. and found that the young women in her class perked up immediately. Perhaps, leadership has been male-centric because the language for years has conditioned us to believe that is the default.
