Can the Song Remain the same? Arete and sophia

Spartan leaders like Leonidas displayed arete and sophia both in war and politics and similar to what modern scholars have termed the “adaptive capacity,” they possessed the ability to adjust to chaos, analyze situations and seize opportunities. In addition to all of this, was a Spartan leader expected to be a paradigm of the Spartan ethos serving as an example of Spartan values and compelling others to uphold the customs of the state?
 
As you read about Brasidas, consider how the author has chosen to present this leader; what aspects of leadership serve as lessons and examples of good leadership? Is Brasidas a return to the Leonidas style of Leadership?  
 
Finally, what theories of leadership and tools have you used in other modules that you can now apply in order to analyze Spartan leadership via Thermopylae, Sphakteria, and now Brasidas in the north?
