Oedipus was thrown away by his parents on his third day of life because it was told that he would kill his father and marry his mother. He didn’t die because instead of throwing the baby, a shepherd pitied him.
He grows up in Corinth but runs away from there thinking that he would prevent his fate from becoming reality.
Oedipus becomes a good king, he is concerned about the welfare of his people and treats them as “my children”, this makes the audience like him, he is a fair man even with the weight of his fate on his shoulders.
The major flaw (harmatia) of Oedipus is pride. Even though he is a good man with morals, his pride blinds him. His pride makes he think that when ran away from Corinth his destiny wouldn’t turn into reality.
He is sure he can control his destiny and all the odds and this is his downfall.
Oedipus is considered a hero because he is weak before the forces of his destiny, he thinks he can control everything and considers himself stronger than the gods that set out his destiny. The irony is that he’s done exactly what the gods needed so the prophecy came to reality.

There are three main leadership styles that are widespread known.
The first one is the "Laissez-Faire Leadership" in which consist of minimal direction and supervision. One disadvantage of this kind of leadership is that the control could get lost by the direction and the response of employees does not meet the expectations of the job or the project.
The second one is the "Autocratic Leadership", which has been traditional across the years. This style consist of a constant supervision, which can cause stress on the employees and lack of creativity and propositivity by the team.
The last one and balanced one is the "Participative Leadership" in which it is intended to be in the middle of the two firts approach, giving to the team the freedom of use their own initiative but having at the same time a guideness and a control on the project. The disadvantage is that the balance is not easy to manage and either the team can get lost on guideliness or the leader can restrict in some way the initiatives of the team and this can lead to demotivation.
