One of his inherent strengths, he believed, was communicating and building rapport with the “native” employees in these various locales. And for the past 2 years, Baker had worked to establish a relationship with Matt Rennalls, whom Hutchins (the production manager and Baker’s boss) had clearly identified as his eventual successor. Developing Rennalls to fill chief engineer position was one of Baker’s top priorities when he accepted the job in the West Indies. It was critical to the company both because of Rennalls’ skills and ultimate potential, and because of the strong political ties it offered the company with Rennalls’ father serving as the minister of finance and economic planning. Although the company and the Barracanian government had traditionally enjoyed excellent
In the process, they could hold back a number of potential rebellions and create a consensus of popular support for the rule of a new, privileged leadership.When we look at the American Revolution this way, it was a work of genius, and the Founding Fathers deserve the awed tribute they have received over the centuries. They created the most effective system of national control devised in modern times, and showed future generations of leaders the advantages of combining paternalism with command. 2. According to Zinn, how did the creation of the United States benefit the upper class? They created a world where a few families owned most of the wealth.
These people insisted on reforms that they felt would return them to “normalcy”, like immigration restrictions and prohibition. Sinclair Lewis’ excerpt in Document A highlights this growing rift between classes. His portrayal of Babbit, a middle class man, as a conformist with no ideas of his own displays Lewis’ dissatisfaction toward Americans who blindly conform to traditional ideologies (Doc. A). Contrasting this bleak view of the middle class is Joseph Stella’s The Bridge (Doc.
His leadership has made him seem one step ahead of both allies and competitors, which has given people the confidence to trust his leadership for many important roles he has been appointed in. In an interview with Oren Harari, Colin Powell stated his 18 principles for great leadership which applies to his success and when asked what you need for success, in two words he replied “hard work” showing his determination in any task at hand. Even after he retired he has still maintained his leadership to help others especially through the United Nations. His determination has leaded him to become one of the greatest African American icons of our time and deserves this respect and
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.
Theodore Roosevelt ”Success is not an accident” Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States also in his years of studying law he became a sheriff for New York Expanding my knowledge about our 26th Theodore Roosevelt I learned some great things about him. He has accomplished a lot in his life that I would love to share. From his adolescence, college experience, and the success he has mastered. I was very interested in furthering my research. Adolescences “Courage, hard work, self-mastery and intelligent effort are essential to successful life”- Theodore Roosevelt Early years of Theodore Roosevelt life his major supporter was his father.
Other characters also help build a picture of Birling in the opening section. Eric's defense of the workers brings about a vicious verbal attack from Birling which pours scorn on Eric's lack of business experience and reveals his bitter feeling towards "public-school-and-Varsity" education. Priestley suggests he resents the advantages enjoyed by his son's generation and this helps the audience understand why later Eric says that Mr Birling is "not the kind of father a chap would go to when hes in trouble". At this point, Priestley has provided a picture of a self-important man who places his faith in technology and industry, who believes he can enjoy the rewards granted by the community while declaring that community spirit is "nonsense" and that a man has to "mind his own business and look after himself and his own". Yet Eric, at this start of the Inspector's chain of events' has already challenged his father's views, and later Sheila will do the same by recognising a shared humanity with the
When Huck almost sells Jim out, it is a constant internal battle between Huck’s heart and society. Under no circumstances would I consider Mark Twain to be racist. Mark Twain may use the word “nigger” often, but he creates these racist comments as satires to ridicule society during these times. He uses one of the best works of art to show how life was at one point and to remind future generations how depressing it was for black people in the South during the 1800’s. Twain is like Huck Finn in the aspect that they grew up in racist environments and eventually realized society was wrong for what they were doing.
Steinbeck introduces Crooks as a black man. We begin to learn about Crooks through gossip with Candy calling him derogatory terms like 'nigger' and 'stable buck'. The way he is openly referred to as 'nigger' exemplifies the casual racism directed towards him by the others- they don't insult him deliberately, but the use of the term shows he is constantly degraded both verbally and physically. This suggests to us that he is a social outcast. Readers at the time would have related to the situation as racism was still a common habit in the 1930s.
1. Should Rick Lester “turn in his keys”? After working alone on the job for only a week, Rick Lester should not quit his job as a new salesman. If he gives up on this job that he was originally very excited for, than what is to stop him from quitting other jobs in the future just as easily. Being a salesman is challenging work and Rick is new to the job, however through hard work and practice he will develop selling skills and characteristics that will help him overcome these challenges.
