657 Words3 Pages

This is a great topic, and reading the requirements, I knew who to choose. According to Baugh, A. (2007, April 16) The Successful Leader http://www.lifescript.com/well-being/articles/t/ Sometimes we choose to lead and in other circumstances we are pushed into leadership. Whether you want to lead or are selected, how you demonstrate your leadership will determine how successful you will be and how successful those who follow you will become. So having a good example to follow, who demonstrates and exemplifies leadership; only makes it easier to build the same traits.
The person I have chosen is my Facility Manager, Cindy Truesdale. I have been working with Mrs. Truesdale for about 3 years now. Now of-course, she has many traits about herself that draws others to follow her. The first of those wonderful traits is being flexible. Not everything goes according to plan.

    Not all leadership styles are the same, especially when supporting different messages. A perfect example would be Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, as both were great leaders of the Civil Rights Movement but both supported different ideas, and with different ways of supporting those ideas. In his “I Have a Dream” speech at the March on Washington in 1963, Dr King had a very optimistic and inspirational tone. He used things like imagery to support the idea of reaching racial equality through integration instead of segregation. Dr. King grew up living in a very loving and stable home.
