A search for a philosophy of leadership has to begin with ontological and epistemological questions. The former deal with what leadership is and the latter is concerned with how one can know. Hence the first chapter engages in exploring the meaning, scope and nature of leadership through the methods of analyzing common words and metaphors of leadership in the Old Testament, of which the Book of Deuteronomy is part. In addition, the research perspectives on the nature of leadership in the area of leadership studies are discussed to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics, and functions of leadership.

Rabindranath Tagore is famous for his philosophy based on Upanishads, which were written in about 1000 B.C. to 300 B.C. Tagore can be regarded as a humanistic philosopher as his main stress is on man rather than on the Absolute. It is true that he loves and adorns man but his man is the man who resides in nature. In his numerous writings, viz, poems, essays, novels, dramas, stories, short stories, letters etc. he declares that nature makes man's life worth living by supplying air, water, its heavenly beauty and so on and so forth. Actually he has not propounded any environmentalism, but his feeling and respect for nature as expressed in his writings remind the world people that environmentalism is inseparable from Tagore's life. Nature got a unique position in his writings. His innumerable writings testify to his love for nature. 'Bolai', 'Postmaster', 'Subha', 'Ghater Kotha', 'Chuti', 'Muktadhara', 'Raktakarabi', 'Bana-bani', 'Basundhara', Sonar Tari, Snehamayee, Naibedya etc. are his various writings which explain nature from diverse standpoints.
