Qualities Of A Leader In The Miracle Worker

Leadership

There are leaders all around the world, but what exactly makes a good leader? Usually a leader has qualities that others are not capable of. One quality of leadership is confidence. Another quality is commitment. Finally, responsibility is a great quality of a leader. One quality all leaders have is confidence. Confidence is crucial to have when something goes wrong. A leader is confident when they are brave in hard situations and keep going even if others are doubting. After the spaceship in Apollo 13 broke, the newspaper editors were doubting Jean and his crew. Jean cut the newspaper editors off and said, “ All do respect sir, I believe this is going to be our finest hour.” This is confidence because editors were doubting Jean,

Commitment is crucial to have if a team ever wants to get anything done. A leader is committed when they are doing the work just like everyone else. Also in the story The Miracle Worker, Anne was trying to teach Helen to eat at a table. It states, “Helen jumps up, knocks over the chair, and then sweeps more dishes of the table.” While teaching, Helen is making a huge mess. Anne was stabbed by Helen in the mix of it too. No matter what happened Anne was committed and eventually taught Helen. Similarly in Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Rikki was trying to kill Nag. It says, “ To and fro on the floor, up and down, and in great circles: but his eyes were red…” When Rikki jumped on Nag he was falling, tossing, and turning on the floor. Rikki committed and finished the job of killing

Responsibility is crucial to keep things in check. A leader is responsible when they take all the jobs and makes sure they all get done. In The Village Blacksmith, the job was always done from start to finish everyday. It says, “ Each morning sees some task begin, each evening see it close; something attempted, something done.” Every single day the Blacksmith had a task. He always made sure that each task was finished. That is complete responsibility. In Apollo 13 everyone thought that the ship couldn’t make it back. They didn’t know how to get the spaceship home. Jean, the leader of the team on Earth said, “ NASA has never lost an American in space, and we’re not going to lose an American in space on my watch.” Jean explains that he will take full responsibility for what happens. With that mindset he gets the astronauts back to earth
