Fidel Castro Although it isn’t likely for one to hear, my favorite political leader would be Fidel Castro. In a world where many democratic powers reside, communist/socialist affiliates are frowned upon; however this is one character that truly has had success in his role as a “communist” leader. The United States is the main leader in the charge against countries associated with communism/socialism, and it often demonizes those that don’t embrace its ideals in the public’s eyes. So they often antagonize these other leaders and countries. Even though Castro landed in the cross hairs of the U.S, a super power in his early years of leadership, he somehow managed to still have much success. After taking his seat in power Fidel Castro recognized what his nation’s weaknesses were and was very well determined to correct. He created a very refined and exemplar health care system. He also made education of more importance in his country removing illiteracy from his home. Most of all he managed to succeed even while a super power attempted to oppress him. Throughout his entire political career he had many outstanding qualities that a leader requires. Even before he was in power he had the motivation and qualities to become a leader. Before Fidel’s rise to power he became an educated citizen. Graduated out of the university of Havana as a law student. It was only after attempting to run for the Cuban House of
There has been many leaders throughtout the world. Some were better than others. We all provide something unique to this world, but what makes some leaders great? Suleiman, Nelson Mandela, and queen Elizabeth I exhibited the characteristics of great leaders, by being loved by their people and by being devoted.
Castro was a socialist, a leninist and a marxist. His attitude throughout his “dictatorship” was the way he communicated with the United States on military, trading agreements and politics. As he came to control the country, he made the promise to maintain the Cuban constitution of 1940, a constitution which guaranteed certain individual rights to the citizens of Cuba. Also stating that all of the governmental representatives would be held exactly a year from the day he took control. Despite not actually being in office, Castro was the most important force in regards to the post Batista Government. His full control of the country came when the former prime minister Miro Cardona resigned after a month of work with Castro.
Freed India from British rule all by just using his words. Gandhi went through an incredible change.
I would say that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) was a leader that exemplifies desirable leadership traits. MLK was a humanitarian figure of our history because of his strong leadership in bringing African American people together as one during bad times. Also, he engages with his follower while creating a bond between him and them that increases their level of drive and morals. In addition, his bravery and courage allowed his movement and marches to have a big impact in American life today. Furthermore, MLK was emotional intelligence and strong mentally and a people-oriented leader. Therefore, this is some of the things that help him develop as a great leader. Daniel Goleman believes that IQ is a threshold quality because it’s the ability
Some leaders are born, breed, or chosen. But the leader I chose to write about he became. I'm talking about Martin Luther King Jr. An American Baptist minister who became a leader for African-American Civil Rights Movement and had executive impact. He was able to unite people together to have a voice, and change a nation. It was a time when many African Americans were treated very harshly and unequal. It was a time of violence and fear. But one man was able to help thousands of people overcome that fear and speak up by his side. He had an aura around him that I don't think many people have. An aura to bring people together, and I think a multitude of people saw that in him too. Martin Luther King Jr. had all the aspects of a great leader.
King and Kyi The world has always recognized the most powerful leaders from our history and name that stands out is Martin Luther King Jr. He was a leader of thousands and had a way with words that would make people stop where they were standing to listen. Another was Aung San Suu Kyi, wanted her people to have a Democracy so their voices could be heard.
Fidel Castro was born on a cattle farm, that lies close to the village of Biran in Cuba’s orient province. Castro was the third of seven children of a successful Spanish immigrant landowner. Castro had athletic talent, playing basketball, and baseball with near professional talent. He too got to be dynamic in the Ortodoxo Party, which championed change and campaigned against debasement. The youthful lawyer was chosen to run as an Ortodoxo candidate for congress in the common races planned for June 1952.
All things considered, he helped provide land to the land less and the poor to help build farms houses and buildings so that they can raise the money. this helped make him very popular with the poor Which did not make him gain more power.

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz was born out of wedlock on August 13, 1926. His father, a sugarcane farmer, was a Spanish immigrant. Fidel had a fairly simple childhood. At age eight, he was baptized into the Roman Catholic Church, which enabled him to attend the La Salle boarding school. After repetitive bouts of bad behavior, Fidel was sent to the Dolores School, and was then transferred to El Colegio de Belén in Havana, Cuba. Finally, his journey through the school system led him to studying law at the University of Havana. At this university, Fidel was embroiled in student activism, and was inducted into a gang. Due to his affiliations, Castro was subjected to violence perpetrated by the Cuban government, mainly against dissenting students. As a result, this led him down the path of a revolutionary. In

How does Fidel Castro’s leadership qualities allow him to remain the political leader of Cuba for so many years? First of all, his machismo, his independence, his appeal to Cuban patriotism, his traditional appeal to the Cuban poor and stance against the rich, he’s a strong man and a boss. He uses
In shaping my personal theory, I sought out my own definition of leadership. To do this, reflected on some of the leaders I admired such as Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama, Indira Gandhi, and Mahatma Gandhi, Why did I admire them? Were there any shared qualities they possessed? What I noticed with many of these leaders was their selflessness, their strong ethics and their ability to bring
Being confident is one of the most important leadership quality to me. I choose Winston Churchill because he was confident in his opinion to Adolf Hitler, that no one should believe or think that Adolf Hitler was being honest. Winston Churchill said that Hitler will not keep his promise and he will do whatever he thinks is right.
