Building relationships leads to collaboration and the ability to persuade others to follow your lead. Another characteristic of President Lincoln’s leadership style was that he displayed good moral character.

He tried to live by the words of Mother Teresa, “One perfect soul can do more for God’s glory than a thousand ordinary souls.” Another example where Francis showed modesty is when he was recruited to become Father Guardian at a monastery in Trujillo.

Treachery and Virtue in “Oroonoko or The Royal Slave” Treachery and Virtue are two things that often times do not go together. They in fact contradict one another completely. However, in Oroonoko these two themes play a very important role in the development of the story as a whole.
