Leadership skills are an essential element to the development of effective leaders. Some leaders have natural abilities while others are thrust into a position of leadership and develop on the way.

With effort we can all develop the key elements to ultimately motivate and effectively lead any team to success. In this essay I will compare and contrast two persons with very different leaderships styles and analyze their abilities to effectively lead. Steve Rogers is the main character of the movie “The First Avenger” and is great contrast to Tony Stark of the movie “Iron Man”. Both have very different backgrounds, values and beliefs which ultimately translate to the people around them as they are both chosen to lead. This compare and contrast will also span a series of six movies in order to track the development of these characters as they mature and experience difficult challenges in the eyes of their team.

Traditionally, analysis on roles for effective leadership surround corporate or military settings with clearly defined problems, discernable issues, and areas where hypothesis can be made, models formed, predictions tested, and outcomes verified. Analyzing a film like Seabiscuit for the roles of leadership present many interesting questions about leadership and what it means to be a leader. The film Seabiscuit chronicles the lives of individuals as they become intertwined to produce an outcome, training a horse to race. At what point do individuals stop seeing themselves, in their daily lives, as individuals and begin seeing themselves as members of groups having to take on leadership and
Half of the person we become is an impression of the ones we admire. Growing up in the United States every child has someone they look up to. This most likely is an individual that represents success and the values we are taught to respect. Superheroes have always served as something good in our lives because they make us want to help the world and feel like we can do anything. Superheroes represent qualities that we should all attempt to embody. What Captain America truly represents can be interpreted in many ways, but there are messages being conveyed. The authors of “Captain America: The First Avengers” use rhetoric to express the social ideology that being a hero is not exactly how strong you are, but what values
The 1989 movie “Glory” shows the true meaning of leadership and sacrifices that need to be made within a group of people in order to show what team work is really about. During the film many tensions were high specially because it happened during the time of The American Civil War and people of colored were being allowed to join and become soldiers. In the movie everyone had the opportunity to meet one another and sent down the rules and regulations that needed to be followed in order for everyone to succeed together. However, there are certain characters that will be closely looked at in order to understand their behavior, the type of leaders that they are, and the way they handle things in a certain way.

How we think of superheroes is that they are good guys that protect us and all they do is save people from burning buildings, damsel in distress, or beating the villain right before he takes over the world. In this story it is totally different some superheroes will be the villains or the bad guy all because of the Superhero Registration Act. In the comic “Civil War” Iron man and Captain America with other superheroes and villains, battle it out over not agreeing about the Superhero Registration Act that Iron Man and the US Government created. The Superhero Registration Act, the superheroes had to surrender their real names, allow the government to monitor all people that are mutants (superheroes), they had to get a license to use their powers, and the mutant had to fulfill some requirements before getting the license.

Leadership is a personal skill that has to be developed and improved upon daily, just like an athlete works on his craft. We all come from different walks of life and that is often a factor in the way our leadership styles are shaped. Our differences of race, gender, religion, home environment, and lifestyle all have an effect on the way we are led growing up. It is a skill that is mastered over time, while never being perfected. Like anything else in life, leadership skills are often developed from who we are, where we come from and the people in our life who have taught us their knowledge.

As a result, in 1941, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon created the second most iconic superhero in Marvel comics, Captain America.

During the beginning of the film, Steve is asked “Do you wants to kill Nazi’s?” by Dr. Erskine, this question is a test to see if he is fit to take the super-soldier serum.

The community was mostly anti-German, since Germany was one of the three countries America was battling during World War II. Captain America, who was known as Steve Rogers before he transformed over, was a scrawny boy who failed to meet the requirements to join the military. Eager to join, Steve Rogers volunteered himself for an operation that Dr. Erskine planned to conduct, which would alter his physique to that of a super human. After ingesting the “Super Soldier Serum,” Steve Rogers transformed into Captain America. His muscles and reflexes were greatly enhanced, as well as his height and frame.
