George W. Bush Qualities

In 1970 through the influence of his wife (Biographies of the Secretaries of State:James Addison Baker III (1930–)), Baker’s longtime friend, George BusH asked him to direct Bush’s political for the U.S. Senate and he agreed (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica). Although President Bush lost the race, Baker became deeply involved in politics, to be specific, the “Republican Party” but, though this failure, he became the Finance Chairman of the Republican Party and played an important role in President Nixon’s reelection.He was recommended by George H. W. Bush to President Gerald Ford and within 18 months, he became the chair of Ford’s 1976 presidential campaign he then therefore was able to stand on his own, he was appointed under Secretary of Commerce in 1975, he also managed his election bid on 1976. He served as Ford’s campaign manager that year and proceeded onward to directing President Bush’s

From the vantage point of the present, it is easy to look back at the tenure of any great leader and draw conclusions about just what it was that made him/her great. We can examine the circumstances under which their leadership flourished; piece together what we know of their character and personality traits; delve into the factors that may have driven them; and dissect their leadership style all in an effort to pinpoint the source of their success. The ‘Great Man’ theory, popular in the 19th century and now thoroughly debunked, held that leaders are born, not made; suggesting that men like George Washington, Martin Luther King Jr., and Winston Churchill were born with the innate capacity to change the world (Landis,

19). Still a part of the Great Man Leadership era, these trait theories just went a step further in attempting to pinpoint exactly which traits of these “great men” were consistently associated with the leaders, in an effort to more clearly define what a great leader was. This was again a further attempt to be able to identify a leader early on and predict which individuals were born to become leaders. It is thought that a major flaw with these theories was the failure to account for external factors, such as the environment in which the individuals were brought up in, as well as the situations they experienced (Horner, 2007, p. 270). Still today we do continue to study the characteristics of leaders in order to better define and understand what makes someone a good leader.

W. Bush’s position of being a member of the House of Representatives (Biography…George W. Bush). Additionally, it wasn’t until after his father’s successful win for President in 1988 when George W. Bush gathered a group of partners together to purchase the Texas Rangers baseball team (Biography…George W. Bush). Only after briefly owning the Texas Rangers did George W. Bush decide to put his name into the Governor’s hat and run for Governor of Texas. However, some of his private affairs were leaked to the public, including his early years of alcoholism before his marriage to Laura Welch. This, from personal perspective, played a huge role in how he was looked at during his career of public service as Governor and President of the United States. In all honesty, the lack of public service experience was the most likely result of his dismal eight years as president, which included getting the United States of America involved in an unnecessary war and leaving America in a recession once leaving office.

We all know the president as the leader of our country, but we never really consider the many things that encompasses. He must be a Chief of State, a Chief Executive, a Commander in Chief, a Chief Diplomat, a Chief Legislator, and other various smaller roles. The President has many roles to take on and must act as all of them possibly in any given week or day. Taking a look at four random weeks in The President’s schedule I am going to identify examples of the president executing these roles, explaining why he was more active in certain roles, and why some roles are absent during these weeks.

While the President is wholly allowed to suggest various legislative ideas he must successfully and carefully address Congress and ensure he has at least some back up for his future aspirations for the country. While he may have lost millions of supporters for some of his contradictions, experts continue to shine light on his successful interactions with prominent world figures of major countries and his efforts in foreign relations and policies. (Knott) n the end Bush could rightfully be credited with some of the most important additions to our U.S

We often elect a President that will guide our country through tough times, but we sometimes overlook the fact that we love a president that appeals to the people in different ways other than their plans to help move the country forward. For an example President George Washington was a man that appealed to everyone because he had the physical aspects of a classical hero. He was tall, heavily built, and a marvelous athlete. Washington moved with dignity and he looked like a leader. Even though many who truly knew him referred to him as “ intellectual and illiterate,” he can still be labeled as one of the greatest Presidents.

Being one of only two President whose fathers were former President, George W. Bush had big shoes to fill. To establish himself as a separate person, Bush did his best to publicly distance from his families privilege life. Although this in did not apply to all aspects of his presidency, Bush handled both foreign and domestic affairs in a way he thought to be most successful for the nation.

It is widely accepted that George Bush Snr. was forced to play out his presidency in the mighty shadow of Ronald Reagan. Reagan's charm and personality was one of his greatest strengths and, even now, is widely revered for his time as President. Bush was reportedly always conscious of people's expectations of him in view of his predecessor and this burden seemed to weigh heavily. Reagan's achievements in Washington were considerable, if not in number then in impact. His political and strategic skills were impressive and Bush cannot be said to have equalled his achievements at home, and this is borne out by Bush's failure to win re-election.

George Walker Bush, the former President of the United States, was not the hero that many people to this day believe he is – on the contrary, Bush is considered by numerous individuals do be the worst effective president in the history of the United States of America. Many ordinary Americans that live in states like Washington, Georgia, and Florida regard Bush as the greatest president in the history of the United States of America. In their minds, regardless of any controversy, he did it all. Bush won several wars that had been ongoing for many years, solved conflicts between various parties as quickly as he could, and fearlessly advocated for the American people and the rights that they deserved as ordinary American citizens. In the eyes of his loyal subjects (and subsequently, political supporters), President Bush was a political figure that few people could hope to compare themselves to. However, George Walker Bush harbors a dark side within himself, an empty void that indicts curiosity into the mind of the blissfully unaware reader. This seemingly impregnable fortress of happiness and content that the President portrays is often no more than a façade when it comes to the dealings of Mr. Bush during his tenure as the President of the United States. Unfortunately, George Walker Bush is not the dogmatic crusader that many people believe that he is

George H. W. Bush born June 12, 1924 has been involved in the government since his 18th birthday when he enlisted into the us navy. After bush was honorably discharged in September 1945 he entered Yale and became a business man. After his business years Bush got involved with the congress starting by serving as chairman of the Republican party for Harris County, Texas. He decided he wanted to be more involved in policy making though and worked his way up to being elected to a House of Representative’s seat form the 7th district of Texas. Bush continued to do more in politics and eventually became the 41st President of the United States in 1989 serving until 1993 after he served as Vice President from 1981-1989. In June of 1990 Bush and Mikhail

As a growing debate, the question at hand is whether great leaders are born with specific leadership traits, or if one can be taught certain traits over time. According to (Wikipedia.com) the approach of listing leadership qualities, often termed "trait theory of leadership", assumes certain traits or characteristics will tend to lead to effective leadership. I believe that leadership traits such as honest, competent, initiative, inspiring, hardworking, intelligent, and the ability to lead the masses, are some of the leadership traits one should possess. Within this paper, I will examine the overall concept of leadership traits, while observing the traits that were, or can be associated with successful leaders.

George W. Bush prided himself on his decisiveness. Bush’s management style was structured around a desire to preserve the time of the president and produce swift action. Bush’s management style was a product of his past experiences as a former governor of Texas and business executive and his business school education. His life experiences had taught him to delegate and trust the abilities of his immediate subordinates. (Allen & Broder, 2004) Joe Allbaugh, a top aide and 2000 campaign director, described Bush as the “best one-minute manager” and a “fantastic delegator.” (Public Broadcasting Service, 2004) President Bush once described his own decision making style by stating “I’m not a textbook player. I am a gut player.” (Pfiffner 2011, 249) This preference was reflected in the way his White House organized his access to information.

George W. Bush, the 43 President of The United States of America, is one of the greatest leaders we have ever seen. In this essay I will describe why, I feel that Mr. Bush is a highly qualified leader for this country. Mr. Bush is highly educated, has the aptitude for being the President and is a great communicator. Mr. Bush is also a person of strong constitution or stability, extremely motivated and cooperative. The later being extremely important when one considers the close ratio of Democrats to Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate. Due to his high level of leadership potential I am of the opinion the US is currently being lead by one of the most capable and qualified candidates of recent memory.

The Trait Approach was the 1st systematic attempt to study leadership. In the 20th century it was known as the “great man” theory. This approach takes a look at the leaders personal attributes such as but not limited to: motivation, energy, intuition, creativity, persuasiveness and foresight. Some of the traits that are essential to this list include: intelligence, self-confidence, determination, integrity and sociability. Thus it focuses mainly on the leader and not on the followers or situations. The strengths of the Trait Approach includes: 1) it is intuitively appealing, 2) it has research to back it’s theory, 3) it highlights the leader, 4) it identifies what the traits of a leader should have and whether the traits we do
