...As the leader of the United States of America and, the President of the United States has many roles. Some of these roles are made just for the President. Some of these roles include Commander-in-Chief, Chief Diplomat, and Party Leader. In this paper I will discuss these three roles of the president. One of the most important roles of the President of the United States is that of Commander-in-Chief. This is one of the president's most important roles. It means all of the military leaders report to and take orders from the president. The president performs as a leader who is not in the military, therefore, the president has multiple military chiefs when it comes to setting military policy to be sure the actions taken are in the best interest...

...falling soldier on both sides, Woodrow Wilson gave an address at Gettysburg in 1913. During the speech, he does not just give remarks about the sacrifices that the Civil War soldiers gave but, also what the fifty years since the battle has meant to America. Another time when Woodrow Wilson used as his role of Chief of State, was when he set the date of Thanksgiving Day in 1914. He designated Thursday the 26th of November to be Thanksgiving for that year. Being a highly religious man, Wilson writes about how Thanksgiving should not just be a day to have a large family gathering but, more importantly, a holiday where people should give thanks to the Lord for all he has done for America. In 1913, Wilson gave a speech at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania. He reflects on the years he spent was the President of Princeton College. He also inspires the students at the college to push past their limits, not just for their well-being, but also for the good of America. This was reoccurring theme throughout many of Woodrow Wilson’s speeches, he would continually push the common man past his previous limits for the betterment of America. Woodrow Wilson took great pride in his role as the Chief of...

...bound to go wrong. The president is simply too powerful, and the American people would be better suited with a less-dominant office. Since not all powers of the president are created equal, it is imperative to first distinguish between certain functions, in order to get a better sense of the broad, main areas a president is actually dealing with on a day-to-day basis. A more practical approach to identifying presidential powers is by breaking them up into five key duties: (1) head of state, (2) chief diplomat, (3) chief legislator, (4) chief executive, and (5) commander in chief. Although the five functions mentioned above do not cover everything a president is required to do, it is relatively easy to place both expressed and inherent powers within each subcategory, which allows for greater in-depth analysis. To begin, we’ll dive into one of the president’s more ceremonial powers – as the head of state. Head of State The president is required to act in a formal role as head of state. This role is often referred to as being ceremonial,...

...The American President has a lot of different jobs that must be filled some more rigorous than others. Andrew Shepherd did an excellent job overall at being president even though many people made the argument that he had no prior military experience before being president. Shephard was very effective at jobs such as Chief executive, Chief legislator, Head of state, and Chief Diplomat. Even though many people believed that Shepard was awful at being Commander in Chief but he did what was necessary. “The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States” (Article 2 of the constitution). He showed this power and Chief Executive when he used an executive order on an airline attack. The president shall have the power...

...As a crisis manager he is there to provide comfort to those in America that are affected by a crisis and to assure that everything will be okay. President Bush cleared this role perfectly when the World Trade Center was attacked on September 11, 2001 by paying visits to Ground Zero and going onto a nationwide broadcast to address what was happening in New York to the public and confirm that he will help fight against terrorism. Thus, doing this as a crisis manager he will immediately gain support from the nation as it eases their minds to feel safe once...

...Harald (not his real name) is a high-potential leader with 15 years of experience at a leading European chemical company. He started as an assistant product manager in the plastics unit and was quickly transferred to Hong Kong to help set up the unit’s new Asian business center. As sales there soared, he soon won a promotion to sales manager. Three years later he returned to Europe as the marketing and sales director for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, overseeing a group of 80 professionals. Continuing his string of successes, he was promoted to vice president of marketing and sales for the polyethylene division, responsible for several lines of products, related services, and a staff of nearly 200. All of Harald’s hard work culminated in his appointment as the head of the company’s plastic resins unit, a business with more than 3,000 employees worldwide. Quite intentionally, the company had assigned him to run a small but thriving business with a strong team. The idea was to give him the opportunity to move beyond managing sales and marketing, get his arms around an entire business, learn what it meant to head up a unit with the help of his more-experienced team, and take his leadership skills to the next level in a situation free from complicating problems or crises. The setup seemed perfect, but a few months into the new position, Harald was struggling mightily. Like Harald, many rising stars trip when they shift from leading a function to leading an enterprise and for...

...spite of being the largest democracy in the world, women’s representation is only 9.1 percent in the Indian parliament. In this male-dominated power game of politics, there are women leaders who have revolutionized the space of policymaking with their adroit and finesse. Listed below are the stories of five powerful female Indian politicians of all time who showed the world that women can be brilliant administrators. • Vijay Lakshmi Pandit, an Indian diplomat and politician, heralded as one of the world’s leading women in public life in the 20th century, was the daughter of noted aristocratic nationalist leader Motilal Nehru. She was an active worker in the Indian nationalist movement and was imprisoned by the British three times on accounts of her struggle to free India. In 1937, she was elected to the provincial legislature of the United Provinces and was designated as the minister of local self-government and public health making her the first woman in India to hold a cabinet post.

...There is a lot that goes into being the president, it definitely is not an easy job. Being the president you are trying to lead a whole country (along with influencing the world) to a better future. That is extremely difficult to do because you can’t please everyone it is impossible. The president is in charge of a lot of roles like running the executive branch that one being the big one. He wages the wars that congress declares, which is a heavy thing to bare. He nominates judges and negotiates treaties. In order to be president you have to be at least 35 years old which seems like a good age to be and you also have to be a natural born citizen. But there’s more to being president then just age and where you are born. He is the Diplomat...

...Public leaders have to be persuasive and influential. They must have the ability to persuade constituents. Public leaders must also have a vision that is realistic. Rusaw states, “Leadership is Leadership is a process of envisioning the best outcome of a project, and crystallizing that vision into reality (2001). Leaders must assure constituents their intentions are pure and not devious or self-gratifying or motivating. Leaders are required to show interest in current issues that affect the public. President Obama did this by implementing the healthcare reform. He captured the attention of many citizens in the United States by addressing that insurance companies are too powerful, proposing the reform, imagining the end result, and implementing the solution. As a result, constituents are influenced by the possibilities of the healthcare reform. The following will be addressed: the various forms of persuasive leadership, ways leaders persuade and facilitate, and the way a leader is most persuasive and/or effective. Persuasive Forms of Leadership Trust is critical in public leadership; especially when there is a necessity for change. Constituents need to be assured that a leader can deliver on his or her promises. If a constituent distrusts or doubts a leader then the leader loses power and the constituents will cause problems for the public leader. Trust is a good way to build relationships, and when public leaders gain trust of constituents they both gain mutual satisfaction...

...executed. In the USA there is a presidential executive, providing the political leadership of the country. The role of the president is outlined in Article 2. All executive power is vested in one president, elected separately from Congress with his own mandate. It is a single-person executive and president’s cabinet has no constitutionally derived power or electoral mandate, and the president may or may not seek their advice when making decisions (unlike the “cabinet government” in the UK, which is a plural executive drawn from Parliament). Although the president does have enumerated powers, more media attention than the Vice President and more overall power in the executive, the Vice President has more importance than just potentially becoming the next president. The president has formal enumerated powers, which makes him more important than the vice president who is elected under him. The president is chief executive and executive power is only given to the president, rather than shared between the president and the vice president. The executive branch is under presidential control and he is responsible for the federal budget, setting out and implementing the policy agenda for the USA. The executive powers also include the power of patronage and pardon. For example, President Clinton pardoned over 100 executive workers on his last day. The president is also commander in chief, meaning he is the leader of the US armed forces and responsible for their deployment. However, Dick Cheney...

She was the daughter of an English trader, Edward Griffin, and a Creek Indian mother, who was related to Emperor Brims, a high level Muscogee Indian. In 1717, Mary Griffin married John Musgrove, who was an English trader. Her named soon change to Mary Musgrove. They both set up a trading post near the Savannah River. Mary knew both Creek and English, therefore she helped her husband as an interpreter and used her kin ties to attract clients. When Georgia was established in 1773, it provided an expansion of their role for the Musgroves on the southern frontier. The Trustees granted John some land at Yamacraw Bluff on the Savannah River when he accompanied James Oglethorpe on a trip to England.

This made her more able to communicate between the...
