His election was, therefore, like no other as he got more electoral votes ever received by a candidate vying for presidency in the United

General Washington could be classified with multiple leadership styles including leadership by example, a transformational leader or even a servant leader.

After researching and reading about David Dwight Eisenhower, I have learned a lot. I believe that Eisenhower was one of the greatest presidents we ever had. Eisenhower's greatest strength as a General was his ability to get all the other big leaders of the western allies to form a consensus.
