 Post an explanation of what is meant by “flow” and “resonance.” Give several examples from both personal experience and Dr. King’s or Nelson Mandela’s speech of flow and resonance. Explain how flow and resonance might occur in leader-follower relationships. Analyze whether some leaders fit better with some followers as described in the research presented by Molenberghs et al. (2011). 

   In order to assess understanding and critical application of the language of leadership, thus bridging theory into practice, you will be completing a summative paper for this course. The paper should be at least 15 pages and not more than 18 pages of developed content and include, at a minimum, the following Level 1 section headings. (Refer to APA 6th, pages 62–63, for additional information […]
