About This Topic

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Leadership: Three Theories, Three Centuries
This paper reviews literature including meta-analysis to compare theoretical schema classifying leadership styles over the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, demonstrated with examples from the real world. Historical examples demonstrate that while many experts have tried to describe leadership in terms of shared traits, inheritance or environmental constraint, no clear consensus on even a definition of "leadership" apparently exists as numerous authorities over several decades explain. Recommendations for the 21st century derive useful constructs from research precedent but attempt to weed out theoretic fads or classification schema that fail to explain contradictions as well as similarities.
