Another writer notes, "The general who took the gamble to invade Normandy under adverse weather conditions was unlikely to be a passive observer of his own presidency" (Windsor 145). Eisenhower also inspired the American people to trust him, after all, his major campaign slogan was "I Like Ike," which shows that he inspired confidence and trust in the American people, and they believe in him enough to vote for him and led him lead them. All of these traits are traits of a good leader and Fire Starter, a man who inspires confidence and trust, and truly cares about those around him and their opinions.
Both Eisenhower and Studer understand how important leadership can be. Studer developed his theories after a long career in business and medicine, where he saw what worked and what did not work for industry leaders. He developed his theories with experience and understanding, just as Eisenhower did, and then implemented them by forming his own company, where he could lead others to excellence, another of his nine principles. Studer says of becoming a Fire Starter, "Everyone in your organization gets drawn in. And in the end, you create a culture of excellence for everyone, which in turn creates better service for your customers and clients" (Studer). Studer wants to include everyone in his theories, so they can in turn pass them on to others and become better leaders themselves. He has a clear view of his leadership abilities and his ability to pass these abilities on, as well. That is also the mark of a true leader - he is not afraid of competition or replication, he embraces both without fear.
Eisenhower said of leadership, "All Leadership -- political,...
Dwight D. Eisenhower 27 August 1958" (Medhurst 287). He too understood his leadership capabilities and how he should use them as he led the nation. Perhaps that is the biggest commonality between these two leaders. They both fully understand their capabilities and how to use them most effectively. Ike won the presidency, and Studer "won" his own successful company, both good pay-offs for their knowledge and understanding. They are both strong and confident men, you do not get where they have gotten without these traits. They also both have a strong need to lead others, and share their knowledge. All good leaders lead by motivation and persuasion, which is simple when you gain the trust of others. Both these men have the ability to gain this trust, and that makes them successful and memorable leaders. Most of all, they seem to truly care about others and the outcome of their actions, and this too, is the mark of excellence in leadership.

Leadership United States had been involved with the world affairs from 18th century to the present and its most prominent role was during the pre-world war era and post-world war affairs of the world.

Many people have relocated to suburb areas due to smog and congestion that was experienced in the cities. The interstate road network has brought various negative consequences.

S. could employ, especially through the use of artillery. All these led to Fredendall losing the respect of his own commanders, to the degree to which they could, at any moment, consider that his orders would not be beneficial for their own divisions. In firing Fredendall, the most important leadership challenge for Eisenhower was to accept the fact that he had been wrong in appointment Fredendall to such a position for

He had the favor of his superiors and the respect and loyalty of his subordinates. Some may view his manner of speech as unorthodox, but overall it worked for him. He was aggressive and tenacious and did not give
The Soviet threat continued to loom, propelling Eisenhower squarely into a second term. He had endeared himself to the American public as a strong anti-communist president, a decorated war hero who would keep America strong, prosperous, and triumphant. Eisenhower's fiscal and domestic policies reflected his rather un-Republican belief in social services. Eisenhower expanded the Social Security program, raised the minimum wage, supported low-income housing projects, and created the Department of
