General Washington could be classified with multiple leadership styles including leadership by example, a transformational leader or even a servant leader. He is considered by many to be one of the most influential leaders of all time and certainly was one of our greatest presidents. Looking first at his leadership style of leading by example, he knew that he had to set the way for the people of the United States to follow for years after his presidency and establish a norm for how the country should be governed. He has high expectations of the young country, and it was said that he “…carried a vision into his presidency and sought to ensure a well-ordered government based on both laws and reason. He believed that through using reason and being open to various viewpoints, citizens could arrive at proper laws and policies to ensure peace, prosperity, and happiness for the country (McNeilly, 168).” Washington was intelligent enough to know the importance of a strong leader in the early years of this new country.

Looking back at his life’s milestones Steve Job said being fired from Apple was the best thing that happened to him because it helped him to develop his passion to the point of his success
I completely agree with Greenleaf on his theory that if someone possesses the potential to be a servant leader they should, in order to improve our society and our governmental leadership. In addition, if someone does not possess the potential, I think that they should remove themselves from the situation and therefore follow someone who is a servant-leader. In addition, I agree with Greenleaf that leadership should only be decided on by the group of individuals that the individual will take leadership among. For example, in Student Activities Board (SAB) at Lynchburg College to earn a leadership position on the board you must first go through a preliminary interview on your experience and background, and then you will reach your actual interview where the board will test your leadership abilities and servant skills.
