Gustav Stresemann born in 1878, was one of the main reasons Germany ever got a break. Stresemann had a significant impact on Germany. He was a German politician and he served as Chancellor in 1923 for only one hundred and two days before he became Foreign Minister until 1929, when he was pronounced dead from a stroke. The main place that Gustav Stresemann really had the sole impact on was the Weimar Republic. Germany vitally needed Stresemann’s help in 1923, because they were considered to be in their “Year’s of crisis.”

For example, German foreign policy seemed to be more realistic as the German economy became increasingly dependent on demand from beyond Europe (Kundnani, 79). Yet, with the Syrian refugee crisis, Germany has set the example for all other European nations, setting an idealist tone. The Economists article called “The new Germans” writes that, “Mrs. Merkel’s decision to keep the country open in the face of huge influx that summer seems to have been based on a mixture of pragmatism and idealism” and “Germany is doing better than most at integrating its immigrants… examples of this Willkommesnkultur (culture of welcome) can be seen across Germany.” Germany isn’t acting as a nationalistic country, rather an idealist one attempting to aid others while still focusing on its

Wels (SPD), Deputy: Ladies and Gentlemen! We Social Democrats approve of the Reich Chancellor’s foreign policy demand of German equality of rights even that much more emphatically because we have advocated it from the very beginning.

Germany is a country that has endured a lot throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, yet they still have their own unique and rich way of living that defines them as who they are. Yet between the World Wars, Germany had many economic and social issues that connect to Hitler’s rise to, consolidation of, and use of power. Germany has just come off a brutal defeat during World War 1, then being forced to face with the consequences that the Treaty of Versailles brought them. Then they are followed by their own great depression which puts a lot of pressure on President Friedrich Ebert and Weimar Germany in general. The problem with Ebert and Weimar Germany, was that everyone was upset with it, there was a lot of left and right wing rebellions, terrorism,

Around this time, Merkel’s political career took off. She was elected to the Bundestag in 1990 as part of the first election after the unification of Germany. Quickly thereafter, she allied with Chancellor Helmut Kohl, which became her political ticket for the future. As Chancellor following the unification, Kohl sat in an interesting position. He needed to unite the East and West, but also there was beginning to be trend to see women in politics. “Seeking to bring in women and East Germans, he asked her if she “gets along with women” Merkel said yes and become German minister for women and youth in 1991” (Crawford 36). Since Merkel could “get along with women,” Kohl had his perfect fit and Merkel would begin to climb the political ladder. Not only would Kohl have his eastern woman, but he would also have a loyal political ally. “Because Kohl had plucked her from relative obscurity, he could also expect her to remain loyal to him, which she did until the major campaign financing scandal broke in 1999” (The Rise of Angela Merkel

The 21st century has experienced an immense growth in the interest for studying leadership (Hunter et al., 2007). Many women are taking the leadership role today and are excelling at it.

As The Economist (September 28th 2013) says, Angela Merkel won a landslide victory and became the chancellor of Germany for the third time. The crisis gave us a hard time and most big European countries dumped their leaders during this period. However, Angela Merkel again proved to be a leader that most people follow and admire.

It was around the same time she was honored with the best female comedian award that she began starring in television series and appearing in a few sitcoms. In 1994, after the second season of “These Friends of Mine,” starring DeGeneres as a bookstore employee, a few moderations were made to the show; one being the change of title to “Ellen.” As the reviews and ratings of the show started to improve, so did the connection between a mast number of viewers and DeGeneres eccentric, witty persona. This eventually led to consistent nominations for Emmy awards and winning the prestigious Peabody Award in 1997 for all her diligent work.

Angela Merkel is the Chancellor of Germany.   Last fall, she was elected to her third term as chancellor of Germany, making her one of the only two European Union leaders that survived the economic crisis (The Guardian, 2013).   Angela Merkel was named by Forbes in 2014 as the most powerful women in the world (Forbes, 2014).   Angela Merkel’s leadership style is pragmatic and methodical (The Guardian, 2013). Anne Applebaum (2013) states “She reigns. She doesn’t tell people what to do, she doesn’t give orders, and she isn’t bossy or pushy. She doesn’t throw Germany’s weight around or make demands. She simply sets parameters, and then lets everybody else make ‘choices’ themselves.”   Merkel’s leadership style is prudent, democratic, and modest. Merkel prefers discussion, deliberation and consensus (Zeeb, 2013).   The Germans call her “Mutti” (mummy), because she understands what her country wants and makes sure her country gets it (Zeeb, 2013 & The Guardian, 2013). Angela Merkel is a no nonsense leader that is well respected.
