The Greatest Influence Of A Leader

My father is the oldest son of his family. He has nine siblings, four brothers and five sisters. He is a very hard worker individual. He started working at a very young age in order to help his family. Right after he graduated from high school, my father enrolled in the air force. My father is a very persistent man; he does not give up easily. He is a very happy go lucky person. He is really social and outgoing, always making jokes, telling stories and making other people laugh. He is really passionate about drawing and designing things. He enjoys working with his hands and going outdoors. He is more adventurous than my mother.

What I learned and understood about my father through conversations with my older siblings was about the impact of the loss of my grandfather (my father’s father) at an early age, heavy responsibilities taken on at an early age (hardship of the Depression era) to help support his mother and younger siblings. This led him to a strong sense of responsibility and a deep faith. But it all made him seem emotionally unavailable. The hard times for black families dealing with racial discrimination and the horrors of Jim Crow led to strictness that he, in all likelihood, felt was necessary for the survival of his children. There simply was no place for lighthearted fun. This greater understanding led to a stronger connection with my father, and an appreciation for such things as his devotion to having taken care of his family, his integrity, compassion for those less fortunate than himself, and the commitment as a deacon and Sunday school teacher.

There have been countless influential people in my life that I’ve come across. One who was a meticulous inspiration continues to be my grandfather. My grandmother had remarried to the one I call “grandpa” when I was at the age of five, and they both took to each other’s grandchildren as their own. With my mother and me only living a mile down the road from their farmhouse out in the country, I’d spent heaps amount of time there as a child. Indeed, I had been without a father but my grandfather stepped up to the plate and had taken me under his wing and willingly played the personification of a father figure.

Some leaders have some special gift and skill. They can order and control people to what to do in their favor. They also influence and inspire others in many different ways. There are some leaders who influence me and inspire me so that I can exert my effort to become a better human being, Soldier and a better leader in my life. Especially I’d like to pick a individual whom inspired me most. He name is Command Sergeant Major (CSM) Charles Fitzpatric. In this passage I will explain how he motivated and inspired me with his leadership style. I will also describe how he coached and helped me to have an idea of legacy leader. I will also describe the legacy that I would like to leave as a leader in the US Army.

Every day I went to see my father, in the worst state I have ever seen anyone. He could not talk to me, look at me, feel my touch or remember I was there. My dad had been unconscious for almost a month and a half. Even he gained back consciousness, he could barely remember anything that had happened or that anyone had come to see him. I believe the thing that had changed me the most had been that I had to grow up and make extremely adult decisions suddenly. My boyfriend and I had been the only ones in my family who were responsible enough to talk to the police, the doctors, and put together the pieces. We had numerous talks with the police about the reports, what happened and when, who had hit him and where was his vehicle. Unfortunately, the police had a description of a car but had not an idea as to who had hit him. I also had fed his dogs every day and kept his house safe, making sure that no one had broken into his home. I also had taken care of his insurance. I talked to the doctors about big decisions and surgeries. Even after my father had been released from the hospital’s care, he had been taken to Greenville County Detention Center on charges of a

He was hard working, honest, and the smartest man I've ever met. In 94 years, i can assure you, he never broke a promise, never let someone down, and absolutely never disappointed his family name. Gramp excelled in an era in which nothing was done for you, there were no computers, and internet. An era in which you had to absorb, listen, and learn, something he was particularly good at. He was successful at everything, especially while at the helm of his trucking and logging company for over 50 years. One of the most demanding industries there is in our area, an industry that was constantly changing, and he never missed a beat. Gramp was always ahead of the curve, the best of the best, and a pioneer in his industry, and he took pride in that.

When I was 11 years old, I witnessed the first and last time my father ever laid hands on my mother. After years of issues and investigation, my mother finally unleashed all of the built up information she had acquired about my father’s unfaithful ways. This lead to the biggest fight they’ve ever had and law enforcement being involved. After my parents separated, they spent weeks going through the court system for custody clearance and child support clearance. Because the Providence police department walked in on the domestic violence scene, they set up dates for my parents to go to court and for the court to interview my brother and me as well. However, because my mother did not want any restrictions on my father so that he would be able to see his children whenever he pleased, she chose to cooperate with the court system.

My grandfather in law, Ray Schmitt, had a true connection with me and my family. Even though he was not directly related, he always treated me and my family like his sons and daughters. He would always welcome us with smiles and even though he fought through hard times, like occasion strokes, he never forgot to put a big smile on his face. My mom said, “ He was a devoted family man to everyone, and he was devoted to the faith, and that showed in his actions.”

Overall, my dad has an altruistic attitude, is positive in every situation, and amiable towards every person. I believe that he will never stop being the way he is, because I think he enjoys being positive, amiable, and altruistic. I hope that one day I can repay him for all the wonderful things he did in my life. In conclusion, he will always be one of my most favorite personal heroes that was in my

Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946, in Queens, New York, the fourth of five children of Frederick C. and Mary Macleod Trump. Frederick Trump was a builder and real estate developer who came to specialize in constructing and operating middle income apartments in the Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn. Donald Trump was an energetic, assertive child, and his parents sent him to the New York Military Academy at age 13, hoping the discipline of the school would channel his energy in a positive manner. Trump did well at the academy, both socially and academically, rising to be a star athlete and student leader by the time he graduated in 1964. He entered Fordham

My father is a person who inspires me, motivates me, and encourages me to be great. He came from being in a run down trailer, working long, dirty hours in a field, to the man I know him as because he didn’t let his position define him. I believe he is an amazing man because he has worked from the day he could walk and carry a sack, to now, and continues to work for his family.

When assigned the task of identifying an individual who I believe embodies what it means to be a great leader, well-known figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Mother Teresa, Winston Churchill, Nelson Mandela, Bill Gates and Abraham Lincoln initially come my mind. The impact of their distinct leadership styles continues to inspire people around the globe and has earned each of them undisputed leadership recognition. However, in the quiet shadows of these great leaders arises the name of another leader whose leadership influence has tremendously impacted my life over the span of twenty-two years and counting. The nature of this leader’s work consists of being a homemaker, minister’s wife, ladies’ auxiliary

I help others in any aspect that is most effective and Influential. As Section Leader I constantly hold rehearsals after school, small group rehearsals and weekend practices. Doing this was not just beneficial to the band but also the ultimate goal which is to create a better musician. Recently I had the opportunity to partner with my former school to form a tutoring program for Middle school students. The purpose is to provide any additional aid to ensure the success through their remanding middle school years and as they transition to High School. Since Hunter B. Andrews is a Pre K- 8 school it me and my fellow club members have spent time bonding with and reading to 1st, 2nd and kindergarten student.

The quality that I admire the most about my father is how hard working he is. When my father was in high school he ran track. He worked hard everyday and night. He always fought the temptation of being lazy and giving into peer pressure. His hard work paid off and he made it to states his senior year. He also holds many records at his high school. If you ever walk through the hallway of Fairview High School, where the trophy case is you will see a picture of my father with his track records that still to this day have not been broken. His dedication has worn off on me with softball. Although, I do not possess any records, I still train hard in hopes of making my own records. I hope one day I can be the best, just like he was. My father will continue to make a positive impact on my life. His constant guidance and advice, always being there for me and his great qualities have influenced me and made me the person I am

What affects how a political leader is perceived? Some argue that the greatness of a political leader stems from the challenges faced by the individual. Others argue that a leader's greatness has more to do with the inherent skills and abilities of the leader. Still others suggest that a leader's perceived greatness comes from a combination of great internal skills and an opportunity to uses these skills at an essential hour.
