When Halstead was given this mission in Iraq, she never anticipated the challenge she would soon face. She had one year to plan her operation, train and certify her units for deployments and after months of painstaking preparation and training, Halstead was confident her soldiers and unit were ready to be certified for deployment. However, certification had to be issued by her superior, a three-star general recently back from Iraq—and the most challenging boss Halstead had ever encountered in all of her years of services.

Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act is a renewal of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which is an aid program for disadvantaged students. Although it does sound as if the Act is helping children all across the country, Alexandra Robbins thoroughly explains otherwise in her book, The Overachievers: The Secret Lives of Driven Kids. Within pages eighty five through eighty nine, Robbins thoroughly shows her negativity to the Act and why it’s hurting children rather than helping them. She uses hard facts, such as the emphasis on tests, altered curricula, and the corrupt college admission process to prove her point.

Fearing Joan, who backed the rule of William II’s aunt, Constance, he restricted her movement and took all of her feudal revenue for himself. Joan’s brother, Richard I “Lionheart” of England, stopped in Sicily while on his way to the Holy Land for the Crusade. Richard threatened Tancred for his sister’s release and for her royal dowry.

In 1783, Louise Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun (1745-1842) exhibited her work at the French Royal Academy Salon, her capacity for painting portraits was widely appreciated aside from one that shocked the French people, the Marie Antoinette “en gaulle”. In the Marie Antoinette “en gaulle”, the young woman’s hair is adorned with an extravagant wide plumed hat and her fingers are delicately constructed around a rose bouquet. Vigée-Lebrun’s portrait depicts Marie Antoinette in a loose muslin dress that the public assumed she wore to bed at night. Despite Vigée-Lebrun’s widely growing fame and fortune, the informal depiction of the Queen received an upheaval of opposition from critics at the Salon due to its subject matter and the fact that the Queen held the absolute decision in being portrayed this way. Marie Antoinette “en-gaulle” is a portrait that powerfully captures the Queen in her most natural and free style. However, the portrait was not in agreement with the 18th century perception of women’s modesty and the laws of the French monarchy. The Salon’s reaction to the portrait Marie Antoinette “en-gaulle” reflected poorly on the Queen’s judgment and composure, giving evidence to her rebellious regard for the etiquette of the French Court; therefore, Marie Antoinette held the desire to distinguish her personality from courtly duties and executed it in placing her trust in the talents of Vigée-Lebrun.

This case study is an analysis of leadership as exhibited by Rebecca S. Halstead. The article published at Harvard Business School by Boris Groysberg and Deborah Bell details the traits, motivations and leadership style that Halstead exemplified. Through the analysis of this article I hope to not only document the achievements of Rebecca Halstead but also document and assimilate the leadership lessons imparted by her. An important observation I have made from the progress of time I this course is that study of leadership is synonymous with studying great leaders. The study of science involves experiments & making observations based on results. However, leadership is not an absolute science, there are various approaches. Every leader has a different style & combination of traits. Aspiring leaders & scholars of leadership must find their individual combination to succeed.
