Clinton Rossiter see’s the job of the president as being a leader in his article The Presidency-Focus on Leadership. He is expressing that the president presides over the country with his own leadership rather than being pressured into doing what he does. The president has to be able to make his own decisions to lead the country. If in times of war, the president must take leadership and can’t be pressured into making decisions. “All major decisions of strategy, and many of tactics as well , are his and his alone to make or approve”(269).…
Over the last ten years I have had many influential leaders give me guidance and mentorship that directly affected my ability to be a strong Noncommissioned Officer.

To be a leader you must first learn how to follow. This can be from learning from leaders from the past to leaders in the present.

I'm only putting in my two cents of what traits I call acceptable in a leader. What George Washington had was courage, and the will to remain loyal to his group, followers or army through the bitter end. That's the backbone to a true leader.

At some point, every leader probably thinks about how they want to lead and what is important to him or her as a leader. During the CSC coursework, I wrote my command philosophy, which gave me an opportunity to reflect on past leaders I had encountered, and project how I wanted to lead in the future. The command philosophy was a statement, written to the members of the unit, about what I valued as a leader. As a foundation for how to approach this philosophy, the CSC coursework described USMC General Lejeune’s teacher/scholar leadership approach (USMC CDET, 2013a). This approach to leadership rests on a foundation of ethics, directly supporting an ethos of core values, mode of conduct, leadership principles, and leadership traits (USMC…
In chapter 14 of Leadership, Giuliani states, “Organize around a purpose” (299). He uses the example of founding the Administration for Children’s Services (ACS) to demonstrate this lesson. After the depressing death of Elisa IIzquierdo, a little girl who died because she was living in an unsafe and abusive home, Giuliani knew he had to reform the Child Welfare Administration and had Howard Wilson investigate how to improve it. Wilson decided the best way was to make CWA its own administration, hence the founding of ACS. Giuliani explains that they discovered this because they asked, “What’s the mission here?…
McChrystal and I are not the same. The type of legacy I hope to leave is heavily influenced by his thoughts on leadership. I hope to instill in others that leadership is not prescribed.

If one ranks leaders on how well they led by example, surely one of our greatest leaders is none less than the 26th U.S. president, Theodore Roosevelt. “Do as I say, not as I do” is a philosophy that many leaders take, however, this builds bitter resentment in the eyes of the people. The best leaders have always been ones who lead by example, showing their followers how its done, both speaking of ideals and showing them. Theodore Roosevelt led by example by working against big businesses that oppressed consumers, working for the betterment of himself, and fighting for what he believed in.…
