When I think of leadership, I think of it as a skill that not everyone can develop. For me, it took numerous times of being a follower or a leader, before developing this skill and form the type of leader that I wanted to become.

One of the biggest mysteries in U.S. History was the assassination of our 1961-1963 President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. There are many different conspiracies on how this pristine president was killed but one that I truly believe is that the Vice President at the time, Lydon B. Johnson was behind the whole massacre. I am not the first or the only one that has believed that LBJ was behind the assassination, because there is substantial evidence to prove it. With my theory I believe that LBJ was partnered with the FBI and the CIA in a despicable plan to make LBJ that new President of the United States. Lydon’s own mistress and Mrs. Kennedy had admitted that they believe that LBJ was behind the

Leaders come in all shapes and sizes, however, what gives someone the title of a good or bad is decided by the decisions they make and how those decisions affect others. Odysseus led the squadron of soldiers in the trojan horse and is a hero of the Trojan War and the king of Ithaca. Consequently, this gives him experience when it comes acting in difficult situations. This experience should guide him to choose correctly when being put in a tight spot. However, in the Odyssey, Odysseus makes choices that both his crew and the reader find questionable. Although Odysseus has some positive attributes he is a bad leader for the following reasons he keeps secrets from his crew, he falls asleep at inappropriate times and is arrogant to a fault.

In 1796 George Washington gave his Farewell Address. Washington urged Americans to avoid excessive political party and geographical distinctions. George Washington was afraid that the parties would continue to grow seeking more power than other groups and eventually splitting the country in two. Washington was aware that other governments viewed political parties as destructive because of the temptation to manifest and retain power, but also because they would often seek to extract revenge on political opponents. So, in Washington’s Farewell Address warned the Americans to not have political parties and to be in union.

Odysseus highlights leadership many times throughout his journey. For example, in “The Lotus Eaters” episode, Odysseus declared, “I drove them all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down

Once in a while leaders can get occupied, even the considerable ones, however they must understand that they committed an error and must endure the outcomes. Various leaders lead for the recognition. Odysseus from The Odyssey and Everett from O Brother Where Art Thou were both astonishing leaders and their men admired them. In spite of their likenesses there are a few things that set them apart. Despite the fact that Everett and Odysseus are similar, Everett has better initiative abilities, which at last causes him and his group get to where they have to go.

Leadership is a very big and important role to come by in today’s society. Most people say they can be good leaders but in reality they don’t really play out to make a good leader. Jack and Ralph are two of the main leaders in the book Lord of the flies. The most effective and consistent leader in the book is Ralph. He is always trying to find ways to make thing better and Jack on the other hand he is trying to do the same thing as Ralph is but Ralph is just doing it better. This kind of leadership is kind of like the two president’s into today’s election they both are trying to make the world better in their ways. Ralph is also very upfront with what he is saying for instance he say in the book “the thing is fear can’t you more than a dream” that is pretty up front with saying it doesn’t hurt you to dream and Jack is saying “I am going to make rules and who ever breaks them shall be punished” that isn’t what a good leader

In any country, kingdom, or household there is usually the one that seems to overrule all in that specified area. Leaders are strong, courageous, and skilled in combat and wits. Leaders are either looked at as an ally or an enemy. They are confident, bold, and respected. In the poem, The Odyssey, Homer gives us insight of how a tough, cunning, and wise man is brought through twenty years of suffering to reach is home that he weeps for so much. Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, is a man that is looked at as a celebrity by humans because of his skillful fighting, and by the gods because of his intelligence and wits. The king went through numerous tasks and obstacles to get back to his homeland. One task in particular proves his power and the love he has for his loyal and wise wife, Penelope. Looking at lines four hundred fifty-one through four hundred seventy-one, the moment Odysseus, while disguised by the God Athena, proves to the suitors and workers that he is the rightful husband, king, and lord by stringing his own bow and shooting it through twelve axes; the task was quick and perfect for Odysseus.

However, examples within the literary narrative of the Odyssey leaves the discussion open with regards to his leadership. Thus, the question of leadership supersedes the topic of Arete. Was Odysseus the ideal leader or did he portray undesirable leadership tendencies? The examples that will presented will illustrate that Odysseus hubris, risk taking prowess, and at times unwillingness to follow instructions often placed his crew in danger as he journeyed Ithaca. Yes, the terribly challenging circumstances in narrative in which the Odysseus finds himself is a challenge of courage and heroism of which very few would willingly volunteer. His ability to remain courageous in the face of brute beast, the actions of gods and demi-goddesses, and in almost impossible natural and supernatural circumstances certainly admirable. However, it is evident that there are circumstances where his hubris leads him to trust his intellect and wit over more reasonable course of action that not only endanger his life, but the life of his entire

While living in Texas, he experienced the struggles of rural poverty as he grew up, influenced heavily by this exposure and the discrimination of the South, particularly while teaching Mexican-American children in Cotulla. He was a very modest and empathetic man, although these qualities would not help him in his claim to fame. Namely during World War II he served briefly in the Navy as a lieutenant commander, winning a Silver Star in the South Pacific. This led to Johnson’s election into the Senate in 1948. Then in 1953, he became the youngest Minority Leader in Senate history, and the following year, when the Democrats won control, Majority Leader. President Johnson began his new career with a strong and effective domestic program called the Great Society. He was fully aware that he had a grand legacy to live up to following the influential JFK. He strove to constantly remind the nation that he was determined to provide solutions to its many problems at the

Being a leader involves many different characteristics. A leader must set the example for all others in the group, because if they are to show up late to practice, there isn’t a reason that any of the other members should not do the same. A leader must take risks for the benefit of the group as well as make sacrifices for it. Becoming the leader of the group requires for them to be the most dedicated. They must work harder and not be afraid to lead the group. A leader must be willing and ready to not only give orders but receive them.

Do you know the importance of having a hierarchy structure within any given work space?  Without structure there would be no clear line of communication between workers.  Having a structure in a workplace establishes communication skills, defuses conflicts, and also provides awareness of leaders who are in charge of you.  The most fundamental and important organizational concept used by military is the chain of command.  Chain of Command can be defined as the succession of commanders superior to subordinates.  Soldiers should utilize their Chain of Command to work through any given situation when a leader cannot solve the situation at hand.

Throughout the story of Beowulf, there are many examples of leadership. The most prevalent example in Beowulf is Hrothgar’s Sermon. In the speech Hrothgar talks about God making a leader, “Sometimes He allows the mind of a man of distinguished birth to follow its bent, grants him fulfilment and felicity on earth and forts to command in his own country. He permits him to lord it in many lands until the man in his unthinkingness forgets that it will ever end for him” (McArthur). Hrothgar said that God made leaders who were of noble birth, and let these leaders to control control their own country. In Beowulf’s case he did just that. Beowulf was the nephew of Hygelac, king of the Geats. He also took on the role of leading the Geats into gaining access back to Heorot.

Treated unfairly, beaten and put down slaves, had no rights in the novel The Invention of Wings. Sue Monk Kidd explained abolition at its greatest point of effectiveness. Abolitionists despised slavery and did everything in their power to abolish it. It took courage to be an abolitionist because an abolitionist had to take the harder path and stand up to the people who opposed ending slavery. In the novel the characters face hardship, sorrow and loss, but it is through their ability to be courageous that helps them learn best what they must do to survive.
