By putting this recommendation into action now, I expect to become more connected to my coworkers, more visible to upper management, and more capable of making effective decisions in future leadership positions. Finally, my third change will be taking a more energetic approach to furthering my education, so I am able to have the skills I need to make effective decisions with the two-up, two-down approach in mind (Schmalz, 2015, np). In order to understand the goals and motivators of those above me, I need to learn more about their responsibilities and habits.

Thank you for selecting W.E.B Dubois. I admire him because he was one of the most influential African-American activist who co-founded the NAACP and supported Pan-Africanism. The attribute that I respect the most is the courage he exhibited when he dared to challenge an oppressive society in which he lived to improve the conditions of African-American people. The ideology of the movement that he supported could have cost him his life, but the liberation of the masses was more important than the fear of
Leadership in Turbulent Times Doris Goodwin’s Leadership in Turbulent Times examines how four US presidents- Lincoln, Theodore, Franklin, and Lyndon- effectively led during difficult times in US history. Goodwin draws from research and interviews to provide insights into how these leaders navigated crises and made decisions that had a lasting impact on the United States. While reading Leadership in Turbulent Times by Doris Goodwin, she takes us through the lives of these four great leaders as presidents and what they did to come to power, and how they influenced people with that power. In this essay, we will talk about what 2 factors stand out as being vital for successful political leadership. The first factor I am going to focus on is
Being a “great man” who is a great leader requires that one be willing to do what is lawfully right when his or her personal feelings might not align with the laws. An example of President Bush doing what is mandated by the state when his heart saw “right” as something entirely different, is in the case of Karla Faye Tucker. Tucker was facing the death penalty for multiple murders. In The Leadership Genius of George W. Bush, Thompson and Ware dictate a letter that Faye wrote to the then governor of Texas, George W. Bush, in a desperate plea to pardon her execution. Karla revealed her dramatic change in character due to her salvation and belief in Jesus Christ.
Molly and Gerry Leadership create change. Boaz Yakin’s film Remember the Titans and Philips Noice film Rabbit Proof Fence, both show that the protagonist Molly and Gerry leadership does create change on a number of events.

Throughout Ken Kesey’s, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the balance of power is challenged in the psychiatric ward. Out of the several leaders that appear in the novel, Nurse Ratched and McMurphy are the most prominent. During Nurse Ratched and McMurphy struggle for power, they share many of the same qualities. It is argued that: “McMurphy and Ratched are alike in intelligence, military service, distinctive (if opposite) clothing, and conventionally masculine qualities” (Evans). These small similarities; however, do not distract the characters from fighting for their individual beliefs.
During Colonial times, there were women who attempted to make changes in colonies, three of them being Phyllis Wheatley, Anne Hutchinson, and Anne Bradstreet. All three women tried to set the example of a quality leader, but according to our class definition of what a leader is, “a leader must represent a group of people, they must not be afraid to take responsibility. They must be decisive and have confidence in their decisions. They provide a role model for the people under them by being trustworthy and having the motivation to make changes for the better. It is also important for a leader to show discipline so that order is kept and the people remain committed.

My supervisor is a quiet but inspiring leader. She is well-rounded and successful in many fields: profession, athletics, and personal life. Nevertheless, her road to her career is not a smooth sailing. She has encountered a lot of obstacles as well, but what makes her different is her attitude. Trying her best every time, she reaches where she is at; thus, I admire her wholeheartedly.
Leadership Thought Prior to 1900 The earliest study of leadership thought would be the “Great Man Theory. This theory conceptualized leaders as a single “Great Man” who knew everything and influenced others to follow him. In leadership discourse, the Great Man theory—an assertion that certain individuals, certain men, are gifts from God placed on earth to provide the lightening needed to uplift human existence—is associated mainly with Thomas Carlyle (Spector, 2015, p.250). The focal-point of this theory is that leaders’ skills are inherent and set that them apart from those around them and that these traits enable them to assume roles of power and authority.

I feel like it is when someone steps up and goes into the unknown as well. It is also important to mention that it is never just one single person.
