George Patton's Leadership Qualities

70 Words1 Page

The leader I chose to think about was General George Patton. I feel the quality’s that made him stand out to me was, his ability to inspire his soldiers to keep fighting, if not fight harder in the worst scenarios of war. He probably assumed that if he would show any doubt or fear that the mission would not succeed, than his men fail, so this was not an option.

    What defines a good leader? The time period of American Civil War serves as a great time period to examine this question, and can be done so by looking at the two main presidents of both the Union and the Confederacy: Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis. While the two were both skilled in some areas and unskilled in others, history remembers Lincoln as the better leader due to his characteristics of intelligence on the social institutions of the opponent as well as when personal rights were involved. In order for a victor to be determined, a quality leader must know how to suspend the natural rights of a citizen when the fate of the nation is on the line.

    Leadership Qualities and Styles of Leadership George Washington, one of our nation's greatest leaders is now revered as a tactical genius and a literal textbook example for qualities in leadership, has historically been severely underestimated, simply because of the many battles he lost. However, he had a talent for turning small losses into net gains. Upon closer inspecting the history, it becomes clear that Washington constantly worked to refine his strategic knowledge against his opponents, always finding ways to relevantly apply new information he gathered (especially from his losses). With "extraordinary stamina", he tirelessly pushed forward and, despite countless setbacks during the American Revolution, managed to claim victory. It was Washington's fierce ethical and moral values/qualities coupled with his natural ability to lead that makes him stand out as a maverick amongst military leaders (Harvey, 2008).
