History of Leadership - The Average Person

Part of an effort to revise and expand NationBuilder.com’s “Vision” section, the History of Leadership page was just begging for some illustrations to highlight the various iterations of leadership through time.

This illustration of “the average person”, a woman of color (finally!) using a laptop, is a reference to the idea that everyone can lead. In a world where people finally have the opportunity to build a community around the thing they’re passionate about (via the internet), climbing the corporate ladder to management, or moving along the conveyor belt of boredom and debt is no longer the only way.
