Based on my research of George H.W. Bush, I do think he was a very good and influential leader. I believe starting off serving the military gave him a better point of view of the issues revolving the nation at the time. By serving in the military he knew how to react to threats against his country in a quick and intelligent way. He gained many supporters after the Americans with Disabilities Act because the act affected more than 43 million Americans. However he had much support from Americans, he upset some by raising tax revenues.…

I would hope that in my six years prior to being promoted to an assistant principal, I would have laid the foundation for positive relationships with the students, or at least some pocket of students. Additionally, I would think about the mindset of not necessarily the students, but the current faculty and staff and begin to measure the outlook that is currently in place. From here I would want to make changes that lead the community to a more positive mindset and outlook. Green (2013) states, “Effective leaders emphasized the development of interpersonal relationships while focusing on the personal needs of followers and the development of the kinds of relationships that would motivate followers to set and achieve high performance goals”.…

leaders must have self-knowledge if they want to be free to think about things in new ways (Cameron, Green, 2012, p. 169). To do this a leader must understand that they are the only one that can teach themselves the lessons they need to learn, they must not blame anyone else for their failures, they must have fearlessness and be able to reflect on their life. Walt can be seen doing all of these things as he did not blame, but instead created a new idea to place live actors among cartoon characters. This idea had revitalized Walt and once again gave him his creativity back (Merrit, Kaufman, 2011). This revitalization, self-learning and reflection allowed Walt to persuade the remaining members of his team to move to California where they could once again start fresh.…
