The Tribal Chief Speaks To You

LEADERSHIP: ARE GREAT LEADERS BORN, OR MADE THROUGH EXPERIENCE? GREAT LEADERS ARE MADE THROUGH EXPERIENCE. NO ONE IS JUST BORN A GOOD LEADER; THEY HAVE TO HAVE SOME SORT OF QUALIFICATION TO BE A LEADER IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEY HAVE TO BE SMART, DECISIVE, AND BE COOL UNDER PRESSURE. TAKE GEORGE WASHINGTON FOR EXAMPLE; WHEN THEY FORMED THE CONTINENTAL ARMY OF THE NEW UNITED STATES, HE WAS NAMED THEIR GENERAL BECAUSE OF HIS EXPERIENCE OF BEING A LEADER, AND HAVING LEADERSHIP SKILLS ACQUIRED THROUGH HIS EXPERIENCES, BEING WITH THE BRITISH ARMY DURING THE FRENCH/INDIAN WAR. SURE, HE MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN FLAWLESS DURING HIS TIME AS A REDCOAT, BUT HE CERTAINLY LEARNED A THING OR TWO FROM HIS MISTAKES, ENSURING HE WOULDN’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES DURING THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. HE ALREADY GAINED LEADERSHIP SKILLS DURING THE FRENCH/INDIAN WAR, AND HE APPLIED SOME OF THOSE STRATEGIES AGAINST THE BRITISH, WHILE ALSO COMING UP WITH COUNTER-ATTACKS TO SOME STRATEGIES HE WAS FAMILIAR WITH, THUS ALREADY BEING TWO-STEPS AHEAD OF HIS OPPONENT. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT HE HAD TO HANDLE BEING THE PRESIDENT WHO SETS EVERYTHING INTO PLACE, BEING THE FIRST ONE AND ALL. HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ESTABLISHING MUCH OF THE COUNTRY’S MOST IMPORTANT LAWS, DOCUMENTS, AND SUCH; FOR INSTANCE, THE FIRST TEN AMENDMENTS, THE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, THE FIRST BANKS, ETC;. GEORGE WASHINGTON IS A HISTORICAL EXAMPLE OF HOW LEADERS ARE MADE THROUGH EXPERIENCE, NOT BORN NATURALLY. THOUGH, THERE ARE NATURAL QUALITIES TO A PERSON THAT MIGHT MAKE THEM A GOOD LEADER, THEY HAVE TO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN ORDER TO BE QUALIFIED, AND ACTUALLY BE A GOOD LEADER, NOT SOMEONE WHO EITHER LEADS THEIR PEOPLE TO DISARRAY, OR A BRAINDEAD PUPPET ON A STRING.
