Wallace's Motivation

The British were smart and got ready for the war but the French were not. The British had found out that their general James Wolfe had found à small cliff. So the British stealthily sneaked downriver to their general. In the morning the British had assembled their entire team and got ready to fight. The French did not think the war all the way through. Their general had made two major mistakes that had cost them the battle. The French troops got all confused and fired very early. This allowed the British to make the counter-attack and then take control of the Quebec. Although the British killed the French general Montcalm, the great British leader James Wolfe had also been tragically killed.

Wallace opposes the English, and as his legend spreads, many Scots from the encompassing tribes go along with him. Wallace drives his armed force to triumph at the Clash of Stirling Scaffold and after that wrecks the city of York, slaughtering Longshanks' nephew and sending his separated go to the lord. Wallace looks for the help of Robert the Bruce, the child of aristocrat Robert the Senior and a contender for the Scottish crown. Robert is commanded by his dad, who wishes to secure the royal position for his child by submitting to the English. Stressed by the danger of the defiance, Longshanks sends his child's better half Isabella of France to attempt to consult with Wallace as a diversion for the arrival of another intrusion compel in

William Wallace was a Scottish Knight who became Commander in the Scottish Wars of Independence (along with Andrew de Moray). He was of historical importance because he led the Scots to victory after England was invading Scotland. He was born sometime in 1270 and was brutally executed on the 23rd of August 1305 for high treason against English civilians. He argued the point of treason considering that he was not part of England. But that didn’t stop him from being hanged, drawn and quartered.

After growing up together time passed and William Wallace’ best friend Robert de Bruce became a king. William Wallace and thirty other friends burned a city named Lanmark and killed their English sheriff. When Wallace fought against the Stirling Castle they won and as a trophy Mr. Wallace kept the skin of a soldier. Wallace organized a local army and attacked the English strongholds. Before William Wallace started to fight for his country he had sworn an allegiance to King Edward.

There were two important generals that were present throughout most of the book, John Burgoyne and Henry Clinton, who had lead to the success of multiple attacks for the British. When Burgoyne was in command, he helped the British army capture many fortresses and take in multiple prisoners. He was also interested in finding loyalists that would join the army so that the British had more men fighting in the attacks. In the book it says “But Burgoyne had decided against this route because, for one reason among

The English gave the Scottish plenty of time to negotiate, but the Scottish, led by William Wallace, were prepared for battle. Well, actually, they were very out numbered, and could have easily lost this battle. Instead of winning by force, William Wallace was determined to outwit the English.

Chamberlain had not of given the soliders a motivational speech? Luckily for him, his adept way of words and is known for grabbing an audiences' attention, but what

On September 11, 1297, before the Battle of Stirling Bridge in Scotland, William Wallace said “We come here with no peaceful intent, but ready for battle, determined to avenge our wrongs and set our country free.” (Tytler) He was captured by his enemy, the English and tried for treason and for atrocities against civilians in war.

In 1297 Wallace emerged from obscurity, according to legend in retaliation for the murder of his wife or mistress Marion Braidfute, by killing the English Sheriff of Lanark, Sir William Heselrig. King Edward I sent special forces against Wallace. They first met at Stirling Bridge on September 11, 1297 (Wallace- “Wars of Independence”). Wallace defeated the larger English force, which severely weakened the English hold on Scotland. Wallace was then named Guardian of Scotland (Wallace, Guardian of Scotland). After the battle at Stirling Bridge, Wallace launched raids into England. The shock of being defeated at Stirling Bridge rallied the English around King Edward I, who marched north with his army. Wallace destroyed the countryside forcing King Edward I and his army to move deeper and deeper into Scotland (BBC News).

This is with the target that the watcher would pay more proximate towards the zenith of the film. Robert's dad utilizes inventive frameworks, for example, key voices when articulating to Robert, "You must do what I tell you." This is in light of the way that his dad wishes to secure the position of a master for his son, therefore convincing Robert to submit to the King of England: 'Longshanks'. As this happens, the camera shot quickly changes to an adjoining shot of Robert the Bruce's face, with tears spouting down from his visual perceivers expecting Robert's melancholic identity inside himself whether to benefit Wallace, or advantage his dad; over the long haul, he benefits his dad. This scene teaches and illuminates the watcher while picking whether to apostatize or trust between two figures your identity proximate to.

In conclusion, a person with good leadership, encouragement, and a lot of perseverance helps soldiers and others achieve many goals. Washington is the perfect man to become a leader of the Continental Army because of his personality. Also, something little could make a big impact on someone’s life, such as the wounded soldier. Further, endurance keeps everyone on the right track and it makes the problem seem easier for every person fighting in the war. Because of the little victories, the war is

The movie Braveheart, directed by Mel Gibson, tells the tale of William Wallace, a Scottish warrior who leads the war against King Edward “Longshanks”, the relentless English ruler who hopes to seize the throne of Scotland for himself. When Wallace was a boy, his family and many other countrymen sacrificed their lives in the fight to liberate Scotland. When Wallace’s wife is brutally murdered by English soldiers, he comes out of hiding and begins his plot to take back Scotland with his countrymen. Wallace makes it his life’s mission to make Scotland independent once and for all and plans to attack the English. Just before the climactic battle, he gives a speech that ultimately inspires his men to fight despite them knowing they could be

During this scene Wallace realizes that he is not unstoppable. He knows that this is the end for him but he stays strong. Although Wallace was never cocky this scene serves as a bit of a reality check not as much for William himself but the people of Scotland that admire him so

In my reflections as I prepared to write this paper, I came to the realization that leadership is much more complex especially since the paper requires that I focus on a few traits. In an effort to make it simple, I wrote down the traits that came to mind and in process had over 10 important traits but an even bigger challenge was on how to narrow them down to 3 or 4 and this is the place that required a good deal of reflection. Eventually, however, I had to prioritize them since in any case; it is not possible to get a leader that has all the traits. As I thought of the various leaders who have inspired me, I noticed that while they strived to provide the best leadership by focusing on their strong points, they still had their weaknesses. To me this provided a justification for at least identifying key desirable traits and thereafter working to improve them. I did manage to settle on four traits, which for me are indispensible if a leader or a leadership is to become effective.

I also believe that an effective leader plays a significant role in promoting and molding individuals’ readiness as it relates to motivation and commitment. As such, I developed my leadership assessment with these points in mind. The assessment focuses on 14 attributes that I believe are important not only for a leader to be successful within the parameters of the SLT, but for most any leadership model adopted by a successful leader in the modern business environment. The assessment was completed by Bobby, my manager of nearly six years, and by Katrina, my highest-ranking direct report of nearly four years. Each was asked to assign a candid rating to each attribute using a one-to-ten (worst-to-best) scale as well as to make notes or offer any suggestions so that I may incorporate it into my leadership style in an effort to improve the areas of weakness and become a better leader. In addition, I did a self-assessment using the same criteria. It should be noted that while Bobby offered both a ranking and narrative feedback, Katrina completed the assessment using the numerical ranking only. The results were consistent in some areas and mixed in others, but revealed some valuable information that I can use not only within the context of this course, but also as my career is better defined over time.
