...Mahatma Gandhi De acuerdo a las definiciones del psicólogo Bernard Bass sobre los estilos de liderazgo (líder transaccional y transformacional). * El líder transformacional es aquel que motiva a sus seguidores a rendir al máximo nivel, fomentando un clima de confianza y responsabilidad hacia la organización y sus metas. Concluimos que Gandhi es un gran ejemplo del líder transformacional, pues tenía muy bien definidos sus objetivos y se involucró tanto en ellos que logro motivar a sus seguidores hacia los niveles más altos respecto a los valores éticos El líder transformacional motiva e inspira a las personas a su cargo, estimula intelectualmente, motiva a cuestionarse métodos tradicionales de hacer las cosas, promueve una visión de las tareas asignadas como formas de aprender y se centra más en la justicia distributiva. Además, la empatía y conocimiento de uno mismo (componentes clave de la inteligencia emocional), caracterizan a este tipo de liderazgo que enseguida contagia a los demás emocionalmente con el entusiasmo y la energía con la que impregna sus metas y objetivos. Gandhi se convierte en un magnifico modelo de liderazgo del que todos podemos aprender e integrar, un personaje que cambió el mundo gracias a sus múltiples fortalezas psicológicas, una gran fortaleza de carácter y una extraordinaria sabiduría.

...documented. However it is also possible to use non-violence to bring about change. This DBQ will look at two countries where a non-violent movement was successful. Historic Context India and South Africa were two important nations on two different continents. But although they looked strong on the outside, each one suffered from a disease that threatened the health of the whole. For India, the disease was colonization.

The first condition was that both of them had been colonies of England. And like England both countries thought law was very powerful – more powerful even than government officials. The second condition was the presence of violence. Without the possibility of a violent revolution, the government might not have been willing to change. The third condition was the presence of a leader – Mohandas Gandhi in India and Nelson Mandela South Africa. Each of these men was so charismatic he could lead his followers to a non-violent victory. Both of them gave their lives to the cause. Gandhi was shot by an assassin while Mandela spent almost twenty-seven years of his life in prison. These are their stories. Mohandas Gandhi – “An eye-for-an-eye only makes the whole world blind” Mohandas Gandhi was born in 1869, in Porbandar, India. His father taught his son respect for all religions...
