Last Wednesday we had to watch the movie "The Queen" in class. It got me thinking about what makes the leader. Technically, the Queen of England is a leader by definition. But, is she really a leader? I think that a leader has to be given permission by the followers, and she really hasn't gotten permission. In the movie, especially, the people dictate her responses. Tony Blair, however, was given permission by the people to lead them. He also took charge and managed the situation. He didn't let the situation manage him like Queen Elizabeth did. I still am not sure if I think she's a leader. She didn't get permission and she didn't take charge, but she hasn't been overthrown so maybe that's enough of permission. So the jury is still out. Is the Queen of England a leader?
