**Must have access to Leadership: Theory and Practice, 7th edition by Northouse**

For this Discussion, focus on the important events and historical markers shown on the animated leadership timeline, Origins of Leadership. Think about how leadership has been impacted by history and has evolved. Think about how leadership might be viewed differently outside of the United States. Find three examples of leaders from different parts of the world and who are also from different eras: 20th–21st centuries, 17th–19th centuries, and before the 17th century.

Post a brief description of the three leaders you selected. Then, explain the evolution of leadership as represented by each leader. Describe the conclusions you drew about the evolution of leadership from the examples of leaders you selected.

In text citations, APA format and reference the text only.
