Topic: leadership styles and scope of influence of 2 historical figures.

There are many leadership styles which are often adopted by people that makes them a leader. Sometimes a leadership style is followed but most of the time it is built in and God gifted to a person, adopted leadership style can be opposite to your personality. Every person has a built-in leadership style but it is important to identify that and when you identify your leadership style, you become a prominent and well-known entity. Two well-known leaders which adopted their personality and leadership style were Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

Franklin D. Roosevelt is known as the best leader in history, he was a very effective leader and proved his charisma by resolving the tension between the Hamiltonians and the Jeffersonian. Whereas, Lincoln is known as a transformational leader because of three major reasons: first is the trust, trust and loyalty of the followers.

Similarities and differences:

 Franklin D. Roosevelt had many similarities with Abraham Lincoln, both were occupying presidential seat during the major wars in the centuries when they were in authority. Both were flexible and active politicians and they follow their visions to fruitful end. Both, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln were in favor of big government and they died in their office. One more similarity between them was that they both committed racial killings, at the time of Abraham Lincoln, he put native Americans in concentration camps and Franklin Roosevelt put Japanese-American in concentration camps.

On the contrary Franklin D. Roosevelt was different from Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln was born in a poor family whereas, FDR belongs to a rich family background. Best categories of Abraham were the ability to compromise, executive abilities and the domestic accomplishments. The abilities of FDR lie in communication, foreign policy accomplishment and handling of the US economy.

What made each an effective leader and how did they influence the lives of others?

History has shown that when Roosevelt contracted polio it glorified his character in the end. Preceding at that point, he had the notoriety of being a lightweight. To some degree that was likely unreasonable, however before polio, FDR had lived something of an enchanted life. Rich, socially quiet, very much associated, he had progressed to a sub-bureau employment and keep running for Vice-President as a moderately young fellow. Polio constrained him to confront something that took coarseness to oversee. On the opposite side, he created sympathy, which another answerer said, as well as the understanding that if he could traverse polio, he could likely manage anything. It gave him quality, bravery and a capable will.

 On the other side, Lincoln showed up himself as an effective leader based on his qualities of being a good communicator, he uses the language that invites the people to participate and creates a passion in his subject. Over it, Lincoln had a clear vision which he shared with everyone and he had an unwavering belief. Lincoln was a leader because he was a good listener, he listened to all the messages and keep an open platform for the discussion.

Beside the positive aspects of FDR, he remained imperfect. He committed his offer of errors. In any case, he was the correct individual at the opportune time for two of this current nation's significant emergencies. In his book, Diplomacy, Henry Kissinger went up against some of FDR's imperfections and mix-ups, yet he additionally composed that each liberated person and lady on the planet owed a huge obligation to Franklin Roosevelt as far as it matters for him in sparing the world from Hitler and reestablishing trust in fair administration. That is not very distant, as I would like to think.
