Winston Churchill and Ronald Reagan used their sharp personalities to motivate others to work for a cause.
Churchill stood strong against the Germans while other leaders crumbled under the pressure. He told his soldiers that there would be no surrender and they would fight to the finish. Churchill defeated the Nazis with his resolve.
Reagan’s leadership was different but still very effective. He spoke of America’s greatness and lifted people up. He broke the Soviet Union because he didn’t back down in the face of danger.
Churchill was blunt and blustery. Reagan was charming and smooth. They accomplished great things by their enormous willpower.
Their leadership styles can be used by you every day. Don’t back down when faced with a challenge. Be optimistic and lift up your employees and yourself.
Have you used these leadership traits before? Did they work? Are you facing a challenge today and would like leadership advice? We can answer these questions!
Remember too that both were fine orators. In fact, Reagan's speech commemorating the 40th anniversary of D Day was such a masterpiece that I used it to commemorate the 65th anniversary here: http://maxatkinson.blogspot.com/2009/05/ronal.html
