Harold S. Geneen once said, "Leadership is practiced not so much in words as in attitude and in actions. " This quote explains that in order to be a leader, a person had to do what they say they will instead of saying what they will do but don't do it. In the novel, The Other Wes Moore, written by Wes Moore, there are two normal kids with the same names but different qualities. Neither of the two boys grew up with a father but for different reasons. The author's dad dies when he was young, and the other Wes's father abandons his family.

Ralph is regarded as a democratic and charismatic leader. He would base any decision on majority votes and he is all about getting a job done effectively and efficiently. For example, he would crack his head to build shelter and figure out ways to get themselves for being rescued. Eventually, majority of the group members become undisciplined and disobey Ralph’s commands and leave to join jack’s group. Consequently, Ralph, piggy and the twins are left on their own to be hunted by Jack’s tribe. Ralph is also a sensible leader; he only keens on being rescued rather than spending unnecessary time to go for hunting. As the novel progresses, Ralph witnesses the beating of Robert and finds it bizarre in chapter 7. Ralph is forced to hunt a boar for

A perfect example of this type of conflict that can arise between these types of leadership comes from the novel A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines when analyzing the conflict between two prominent characters in Grant Wiggins and Reverend Ambrose. Just as I considered Pope Francis to be the antithesis of President Trump, I also believe that Reverend Ambrose is the antithesis of Grant Wiggins. However, there is one significant difference when comparing these two relationships. Unlike President Trump, who I consider to be a poor moral leader, I believe that Grant Wiggins is a good moral leader and it makes this comparison even more intriguing to me. In addition, Grant also considers himself an Atheist, while President Trump does not.

In the film Truman (1995), directed by Frank Pierson, there are many examples of power relations, tactics of influence, and forms of leadership. The film depicts Harry Truman’s earnest yet unexpected rise to the appointment of president of the United States during World War 2 and the challenges he faced in this position of tremendous responsibility and authority. This paper will explore the concept of leadership through Pierson’s portrayal of Truman’s character development and will explore concepts of power and influence through his relationships to other characters and organizations.

James MacGregor Burns said it best, “Leadership is leaders inducing followers to act for certain goals that represent the values and the motivations-the wants and needs, the aspirations and expectations-of both leaders and followers. And the genius of leadership lies in the manner in which leaders see and act on their own and their fellow 's values and motivations”. As one reads this statement, one naturally reflects on personal leader experiences or ones learned through academic or professional studies. Abraham Lincoln, especially during his presidency, exemplified Burns definition of a leader.

Branson does not believe in market research he instead believes in his instinctive feelings. These feelings come from discussions with the customers. Richard chose workers from the look of faces if fitted according to him then he could give someone something to do; qualifications and experience were irrelevant. Brandon encourages charismatic relationship between the head and the followers, hence empowering the leader. This helps the followers to have self determination, have, strong self, concepts and find meaning in their work. Branson does not expect blind

An author that is consistently referred to by Yukl, 2013 is James M. Burns, 1978 on transformational leadership. According to Burns, transforming leadership is a process in which "leaders & followers help each other to advance to a higher level of morale and motivation" (Burns, 1978). Burns (1978) informs the readers that the purported difference between leadership and management is in the character and behavior. Burns’s (1978) perspective on leadership has been used by others to develop leadership theories and influence on followers for positive performance (Yukl, 2013). Burns (1978) is said to have developed the idea that transformational leaders change the behavior and motivations of followers. In other words, influence on followers can be determined by the leadership method, behavior, and style. Transformational leaders strive to motivate and change followers’ mentality to redirect energy into action to complete the goals and mission of the organization (Burns, 1978). The argument is that the character and traits of the leader transforms and motivates subordinates to perform better and better (Yukl, 2013).

Charisma theory is described as a “gift”, or a unique superiority of an individual character. This is set by an advantage of which the individual is set apart from the common man and treated as a gem with supremacies (Charismatic vs. Transformational, 2011). Whereas the transformational theory is defined as leaders who enthuse followers to use their own egocentricities to benefit the organization (Charismatic vs. Transformational, 2011). These leaders also possess a gift of having a great impact on their followers (Charismatic vs. Transformational, 2011). Theories are apprehended around the world and almost every aspect of life possesses a theory behind them, whether there is action or unfolding someone’s personality. There are two leadership theories that will be conveyed, Charismatic Leadership and Transformational Leadership. Behind each theory is a founder that explains these concepts, James MacGregor Burns the founder of Transformational leadership (Conger, n.d.) and Karl Emil Maximilian "Max" Weber the founder of Charismatic leadership ("Transformational," n.d.). Over the course of time, movies have been made, demonstrating these theories, for example an old classic “The Lion King” ("Leadership Movies," 2008). This movie coveys both MacGregor Burns and Karl Emil Maximilian "Max" Weber’s theories.
