Question

Choose three leadership qualities discussed above and, in the space provided, reflect on their significance. In what ways did these leadership qualities help President Roosevelt be an effective leader?

Answer 1

This is what I put down for my Essay and I got a good grade.

Educating and Knowledge: It is important to be knowledgeable about the issues that are affecting your country. If Roosevelt was oblivious and not informed on any of the issues affecting the U.S. decisions made by him would have been very questionable because he was not educated on the topic.

Goal Setting: Like any good leader you need to have a goal. Why should anyone vote you as president if you do not even have a goal during your run. You most likely would not be elected if you stated that you dont have any goals.

Self-Confidence: You need to have self confidence so that you are not easily redirected and often made to change your mind. You need to be confident in what you are doing and own up to it if you make a mistake. If you dont have any confidence any one can easily change your decision and therefore run the country for you.

Answer 2

Education and Knowledge, Goal Setting, Communication, and Self Confidence.

These four things are essential in being a leader. You need to know the things to be a leader so that's where knowledge and education come into play. Goal setting is very important because you need to show the things you want/ can accomplish to be a leader. Communication is needed because you need to be able to talk to the people you are leading, you need to be able to hear what they have to say and you need to say what you want/need to say. Self confidence is also very important because you need to be confident to lead or no one will be confident in your leadership, people don't want you to not sound unsure because then they will most likely be like "oh lord he doesn't know what he's doing he shouldn't be making desicions."

President Roosevelt used all of these things in order to be the leader he was. He used his knowledge that he had and communicated to the people. He also made goals and effectively portrayed them to the people. He didn't faulter in his confidence so people followed him regardless if they were paying attention to the things he had to say or not.
