Abstract
An account of leadership attributes as seen in the film 'Twelve Angry Men' with a contrasting view of rational leadership style and charismatic leadership style.

From the Paper
"'Angry Men' can be viewed as an object lesson in organizational leadership. The leader is not chosen formally but emerges from the dynamics of the situation. Indeed the jury foreman is noteworthy for his lack of leadership in deliberations. Otherwise he is all too accommodating showing assertiveness only when there is a danger that someone on the jury may not be heard. The leadership role is fulfilled by the Fonda character whose interest in discussing the evidence positions him to assume the lead in resolving the conflict ..."

Abstract
The paper argues that the leadership style of Franklin Delano Roosevelt during his four terms as President of the United States can be best described as inspirational, for he inspired an entire nation during the dark days of the Great Depression and the Second World War. The paper discusses how when he proclaimed, "We have nothing to fear, but fear itself" during his first Inaugural Address in 1933 and passed New Deal legislation during his first one-hundred days in office, he inspired millions of Americans to believe that courage, determination, and hard work would enable them to overcome the unprecedented economic crisis triggered by the collapse of the Stock market in 1929.

Abstract
This paper presents a case study of a manager and how he needs to change his leadership style in order to benefit the organization and employees around him. The paper discusses the benefits of a transformational leadership style that encourages greater participation and contribution from each employee. The paper also discusses the inspiration and enthusiasm that this type of leadership style can generate for the employees.

From the Paper
"Much of George's reliance on micromanagement comes from his egotistical nature, which makes him feel he must control every aspect of the product to realize the results he desires (Fandt & Quirk, 48). For George to realize greater success he should work on adopting a transformational leadership style, or one that emerges as a "shared focus of self awareness" among strong willed partners (Fandt & Quirk, 28). This will help George work with Shelley to develop shared self-awareness and shared focus. It will also work very well because Shelley seems the type of employee that is just as strong willed and egotistical as George is. This may actually result in a shared vision and improved organizational outcomes if the two learn to work well together."

Abstract
Thurgood Marshall, America's leading 20th century radical, led a civil rights revolution that forever changed the history of American society. Thurgood Marshall eradicated the legacies of racism and segregation by using the courtroom, which had an even more profound and lasting effect on race relations than the efforts of his contemporaries, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. This paper looks at Marshall's life in the active black community of Balitmore and how he became the architect of American race relations in the twentieth century. The paper then focuses on Marshall's unique leadership style and examines how he demonstrated his visionary leadership throughout his career.

From the Paper
"Because of these injustices, organizations such as the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) were created. The NAACP was probably the most significant of these foundations led by chief legislator Thurgood Marshall. During his years spent with the NAACP, Thurgood developed a strategy to fight racial segregation throughout the United States. Without Thurgood breaking new ground in the courtroom, the Civil Rights Movement would not have existed. The only way for change to occur was by altering the constitution, and Thurgood Marshal was the only Civil Rights leader using the law as means of change."

Abstract
This paper describes many different types of leadership styles, defining their characteristics and their positive aspects. The writer then looks at the ways in which these styles can fail when it comes to education. The bulk of the paper describes the eclectic, collaborative style and brings in sources to prove that this leadership ethic garners the best results when managing an educational system.

From the Paper
"Leadership style has been shown to be a major factor in the effectiveness of an organization, and different leadership styles prove more effective in different situations. DuBrin, Ireland, and Williams (1989) note that effective organizational leaders are generally consistent in the way they try to influence the behavior of group members, with the consistent pattern of behavior being the leadership style of a given manager. The behavior of most managers is too complex to be described by a single style, and a manager may modify his or her style to match a given situation (DuBrin, Ireland, and Williams 330). Different models have been used to try to categorize leadership style. Among these are top down management, collaborative management style, goal oriented management style and management by objectives."
