maybe list of exempla (leaders + their virtues) from livy, caesar, sallust, cicero, plutarch? with skepticism or cynicism from tacitus, suetonius

does anyone know the status of the king's college digital republican prosopography project.html)?

let's point to linked data sources where possible: for places, pleiades, orbis, awmc

hmm plutarch is funny in this context because romanLife+greekLanguage :) but we should definitely have a latin words doc (like norman's greek words doc) with: virtus, senatus, rex, potestas, imperium, auctoritas, jus, pater..?

nice essay!..note how the examples of pathological treatments of women-as-leaders are english :) [the middle english 'purity/cleanness/hygiene' tradition is relevant here too of course] but obviously queen victoria is the toweringly missing figure here..!

one caveat that might be worth noting depending on how deeply gender-theoretic we want to go: roman political and military leadership may be more intensely gendered, and especially more connected with survival via violence, than modern american political and business leadership (plenty of modern corporations do see their male leaders as 'paterfamilias' but plenty do not; in the united states, legal prioritization of the father or husband varies significantly by state (i think this correlates with first european colonists -- iirc first-spanish areas like texas give women significantly better consideration in e.g. divorce cases than in first-english areas) but in general american fathers do not have the authority over household life and death that roman fathers did)

opportunity to encourage students to notice implicit associations as they read these texts -- more likely to notice when an association suggested by plutarch seems unfamiliar, so if you don't notice anything then maybe you and plutarch share the same implicit biases!

for leaders' goffmanian self-presentation, diffs between late-republican roman and modern american 'power' clothing differentiation by gender seem significant..philip rieff has a great (albeit very old) article on the political semiotics of business suits that i can't find at the moment but will dig for a bit

(in general stuff about gendering of the leader's self-presented body might connect with the 'vistas' point ulrike made in slack)

does 'power' here include 'influence or any kind'? opportunity to link back to one of noman's kratos+ pages

masculine/feminine leadership codes might also be tags and attached throughout the course..

..then maybe we could have reference/classified-collection-of-examples pages, like tvtropes does e.g. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheLeader http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MasculinityTropes

can we trace paradigm-figures throughout our modules? maybe 'heraclean' and 'dionysian' and 'jasonian' and 'agamemnonian and 'achillean' and 'odyssean' and 'caesarian' etc. are all 'leader paradigm' tags?

these are huge issues that should be raised in other leadersip modules too :)

east-west and reason-passion constantly recur in modern leadership studies too (to say nothing of kissinger books and trump speeches)..often with little conceptual sophistication but tons more data, as far as i've seen..for earlier examples see 18th-century jesuit-dominican fights re. missionary approach to chinese government and ritual

might be especially interesting to look for stories unique to plutarch (so more likely to be fabricated or selected-from-obscure-sources for the sake of gender-heavy characterization)

good place for offsite link or hovernote
