The Great Gatsby and Leadership

Certain leaders stand out in our memories when thinking about leadership. We remember them for their charm and charisma or maybe we remember the way they presented themselves. We remember that important conversation we shared which was so important to us, and that speech that left the crowd speechless and inspired. We remember the leader who picked us up when we were down and the leader who had faith in us when no one else did. Those leaders were special and unique. They were great and had the ability to lead like no other. Great leaders possess many leadership traits that make them exceptional.
Jay Gatsby in my opinion withholds the concept of leadership tremendously. He is someone that everyone looks up to and tries to gain his qualities and roles. He has impeccable communication skills because he is able to portray his confidence, enthusiasm, and enough trustworthiness to engage his audience, no matter how big or small. He believed in himself and by doing so, made others believe in him too.
A great leader has empathy. Jay will go the extra mile to gain a better understanding of you as a person, Just like how he confronted Nick in such a manner that was respectable and intriguing.
Jay also portrays a great deal of adaptability. The ability to reinvent and reposition yourself is an advantageous skill. Gatsby started out as one thing, a poor boy from a poor family, and ended up as a self-made millionaire. While the steps he took throughout his transformation might be unsavory, you’ve got to give the guy credit. Today’s leaders can learn a thing or two from Jay Gatsby when it comes to determination, perseverance, and the absolutely necessary skill of adaptability.
A great leader will strive to find out how your mind works. From there he can become you, theoretically, and place himself in your shoes. His own mind will stop
