The true essence of being a leader
is the one who helps everybody
around him in order that he may
go up with them.

Leadership
“Leadership is influence
– nothing more, nothing
less.”

 Martin Luther
King Jr.
AMERICAN CHRISTIAN
MINISTER AND ACTIVIST
 Contribution
The standard has been set for all nations to treat
everyone equally regardless of skin color
because of the art work of Martin Luther King
Jr.

I Have a Dream (1963) in which he spoke of his

dream of a United States that is void of
segregation and racism.
 Why we consider him as a
leader?
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a successful leader of the African American civil rights
movement in the United States. He was intelligent in the fact that he was able to lead African
Americans in a nonviolent way to the advancement of civil rights. He was powerful and he
used his power to influence the believers. Dr. King was educated receiving his Doctorate of
Philosophy in Systematic Theology from Boston University. Having strong verbal ability,
perceptual ability, and reasoning appears to make one a better leader (Northouse, 2016). His
verbal ability was extremely strong. The “I Have a Dream” speech was delivered during the
march on Washington where he called for an end to racism. Over 40 years later the powerful
speech lives on. Dr. King inspired many with his speech.

 Religious freedom The Catholic
Church had dominated French society,
but the French Revolution tossed it out
on its ear. Napoleon reached an
agreement with the Pope allowing the
Church a major role in French society
CONTRIBUTIONS while providing religious freedom for
all others. He also abolished slavery
and freed the serfs, and today he is
seen as a progressive force in European
history.
 Being a leader means having the
willingness to get your hands dirty. For
Napoleon, no job was beneath him.
Even when he was a celebrated
general, he had no qualms about
getting down from his steed and getting
Why we consider him into the trenches. He participated in the
as a leader? work of those that he led. This ensured
that he was kept aware of what goes on
in the lower rank s even when he was
already up there.

One of the keys to making Jack Ma an effective leader is

"Teamwork." He claims he can't be successful
without good team members because he's not a
professional in many respects, such as technology. So,
he wants great people with a lot of skills.

The war was still going on when it was first
issued on January 1, 1863. What this
document did accomplish, however, was it
gave blacks the right to serve in both the
Army and the Navy of the Union,The
Contributions blacks were happy to finally have the right
to serve their country and nearly 200,000
blacks joined the armed forces. Therefore,
Lincoln gave them the right to fight for
their own freedom.Of course, it did state
that slaves were to be freed.
 ENDI NG SLAVERY
The states that it applied to were
virtually slave free, since they were all
members of the Union. It could not even
be applied to the border states.Lincoln
Contributions continued to support legislation that
would effectively and actually free the
slaves. He was a great supporter of the
13th Amendment, which did wind up
being the one to free the slaves.
 GETTYSBURG ADDRES S
This speech was an accomplishment for
Lincoln because of what it spoke about
at the time, but also for the impact that
it has continued to have all the way up
Contributions until today.
This event occurred four months after
the Union army defeated the
Confederate army at the Battle of
Gettysburg. In the speech he spoke
about:

Anti-apartheid leader.

Mandela spent over twenty years in jail for his opposition to the
racist apartheid system, which excluded black people from many
areas of society.

He was elected the first President of Democratic South Africa in

1994. Under Mandela’s leadership, he helped South Africa to
emerge peacefully from its apartheid era.
 Why we consider him as a leader?

If it wasn’t because of him, there will still be

people who were disadvantaged by the system of racial
segregation.

Apartheid was a system of legislation that upheld segregationist

policies against non-white citizens of South Africa. By the
leadership of the former president Nelson Mandela, he helped to
set liberty against discrimination for black and white people.

 Socrates
A GREEK PHILOSOPHER
FROM ATHENS
 Contributions
SOCRATIC TECHNIQUE
Socrates’ most important contribution to Western philosophy was his technique for arguing
a point, known as the Socratic technique, which he applied to many things such as truth
and justice. This is described in Plato’s “Socratic dialogues.” An issue would be divided up
into a series of questions, the responses to which progressively led to the desired
outcome.The Socratic technique is a negative strategy for gradually disproving unwanted
theories, leaving you with the most logical one. It aims to make the individual examine
their own beliefs and challenge the legitimacy of such convictions.The importance of this
strategy cannot be understated and has led to Socrates earning the title of the “father of
political philosophy, morality, and good logic.” The Socratic technique is frequently
regarded as an essential part of the American legal system.
 Contributions
PHILOSOPHICAL BELIEFS
The beliefs of Socrates, separate from those of
Plato, are hard to define as little in the way of solid proof exists to separate the two.
The vast majority of Plato’s “exchanges” might be simply the thoughts of Socrates
reinterpreted by Plato, and several researchers think Plato adapted the Socratic style to
make Socrates and the other characters difficult to recognize. Others contend that he
had his own hypotheses and beliefs.It is therefore difficult to isolate Socrates and his
work from that of Plato and necessary to always keep in mind that the work of
Socrates could actually be attributable to Plato and vice versa. The issue is further
confounded because Socrates was famous for posing questions and not supplying an
answer, preferring others to form their own conclusions.
 Contributions
LEARNING
The paradox “I know that I know nothing” is introduced
in Plato’s Apology and is an indication of Socrates’ self-awareness, as he professes to his own lack of
knowledge. Socrates believed that in order to come to a conclusion, a person needed to approach it
with “thought, sense, judgment, viable knowledge, [and] prudence.” He also believed that bad
behavior was the result of ignorance, and those who made mistakes did so because they knew no
better.The one thing Socrates did profess to know about was “the specialty of affection.” This is
related to the word erôtan, which means to ask questions, showing that Socrates linked the ideas of
love and posing questions about it. He does profess to be insightful during Apology, in which he says
he is shrewd “in the restricted feeling of having human wisdom.” Socrates generally doubted that
people, as opposed to the gods, could attain true knowledge. On the one hand, he said there was a line
between human ignorance and perfect learning; on the other, he shows a strategy for attaining
knowledge through Diotima’s speech in Plato’s Symposium and in the Allegory of the Cave in
Republic.
 Contributions
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Socrates believed that people should strive for
goodness rather than material interests such as wealth. He encouraged others to focus more
on companionship and making connections with other people because he felt this was the
ideal path for individuals to come together as a group. He bears this idea out when he
calmly accepts his own death sentence. Rather than fleeing to live a life alone and in exile,
he accepts his punishment from society for going against the general beliefs of the
population. Socrates focused on ethics and morality in many of his teachings. These ideals
spoke to the essential characteristics that an individual should possess, chief of which were
philosophical or scholarly excellence. He stated that “the unexamined life does not merit
living [and] moral temperance is the main thing that matters.”
 Contributions
GOVERNMENTAL ISSUES
Socrates’ resistance to the vote-based system is
often disputed, and the question is frequently posed during philosophical
discussions when trying to establish exactly what Socrates did and did not believe.
The most compelling evidence that Socrates did not believe in democracy is in
Plato’s Republic, although this is generally viewed as a second-hand account
through the “exchanges.” In Plato’s Apology, Socrates is seen not to pursue
regular legislative issues, frequently expressing that he could not advise
individuals how to experience their lives when he didn’t yet see how to experience
his own. Socrates’ thoughts on democracy are one of the topics underscored in the
2008 play Socrates on Trial by Andrew David Irvine.
 Contributions
GOVERNMENTAL ISSUES
Irvine contends that as a direct result of his belief in Athenian majority rule,
Socrates was happy to acknowledge the decision of his fellow citizens. As Irvine
puts it: “Amid a period of war and incredible social and scholarly change,
Socrates felt constrained to express his perspectives straightforwardly, paying
little attention to the results. Subsequently, he is remembered today not just for his
sharp mind and high moral principles, but also for his steadfastness to the view
that in a vote-based system, the ideal path is for a man to serve himself, his
companions, and his city – notwithstanding amid times of war – by being faithful
to, and by talking freely about the truth.”
 Contributions
BETTER TO SUFFER
AN INJUSTICE THAN TO COMMIT ONE
Socrates angers Polus with the argument that it is better to suffer an injustice
than to commit one. Polus argues that while it is bad to commit an injustice, it
is worse to suffer one. Socrates contends that one bad deed will lead to
another, much worse one, and this is bad for a person’s soul. Doing a bad deed
undermines the spirit, and therefore it is the worst offence an individual can
commit against him or herself. Socrates goes on to say that if you do commit a
crime against another, it is better to seek punishment than evade it because
punishment will cleanse or purify the spirit.
 Contributions
HUMAN WISDOM
The idea of human knowledge is a crucial theme in Apology, although it may
not have been fully resolved. Socrates’ human wisdom before Apollo’s prophet
is called into doubt by his affirmation that he was not knowledgeable by any
means, claiming that human understanding can only go as far as “philosophy.”
Socrates did demonstrate human understanding before the prophet because he
epitomized knowledge, even though he didn’t realize that he did. This
assertion is confirmed by the challenges set in the Apology, specifically the
question: Why did Socrates keep on looking for knowledge that he thought
was difficult to acquire?
 Contributions
SOCRATIC DEBATE AND BASIC REASONING
The craft of Socratic debate is associated with basic reasoning because the ability
to debate a subject requires considered thought and reasoning. Socrates believed
in the need to examine the learning process itself and to work out how to go about
it. Basic and intelligent reasoning centers around what ought to be accepted or
done about a topic. Socratic debate adds the extra dimension of thought to basic
reasoning by concentrating on profundity and argument, and examining the reality
or authenticity of thought. Socrates contended that an absence of information isn’t
necessarily bad, and students must try to understand what they don’t know
through the process of reasoning and basic thinking.
 Contributions
SOCRATIC DEBATE AND BASIC REASONING
Basic reasoning and Socratic debate both look for significance and
truth. Basic reasoning allows a person to screen, evaluate, and maybe
reconstitute or re-direct their reasoning. Instructive reformer John
Dewey defined this as an intelligent request “in which the scholar turns
a subject over in the psyche, giving it genuine and back-to-back
consideration.” Socratic debate allows an individual to engage in self-
coordinated, restrained enquiry to accomplish that objective.
 Contributions
SOCRATIC ETHICS
Socrates’ emphasis on morality had a definite aim. He expected philosophy to
prompt a change in the state of mind and critical activities of individuals, which
would have a wider impact on the world.We often only see Socrates through the
eyes of others, but both his companions (like Plato and Xenophon) and
adversaries (like Aristophanes) concur that he thought an individual could affect
society in general by their decisions. He also believed that this theory was
applicable in our day-to-day lives. Socrates’ central question “What should we
do?” can be used in any circumstance where a decision needs to be made, and it is
universally applicable.
 Contributions
SOCRATIC IRONY
Socratic irony is a process used in the Socratic teaching
method. It involves a person assuming a position of ignorance
in order to encourage others to make statements that can then
be challenged. In this way, Socrates could claim that his
opponents were knowledgeable and play down his own
insight by pretending that he did not know the answer to the
question raised.
 Contributions
SOCRATIC IRONY
Socrates found that often a person would concern him or
herself with thoughts about money, fame, or appearance, and
disregard the spirit. He believed that the task set for him by
the gods was to remind people of the importance of the soul
or spirit. He argued that wealth does not bring about
greatness, but being a good citizen leads to riches for all.
 Why we consider him as a leader?

The reason why I consider Socrates as a famous and great leader is besides
of his great contribution in this world, I admired him for his advocacy. An
advocacy that we should live as we wish to seem – to live as our ideal self
through the means of constant self-improvement and refinement of
character. Lastly I consider Socrates as a famous and great leader because
his contributions serves as an inspiration to lead a life of reflection,
courage, virtue and understanding so that we might help to build societies
of love, peace, and enduring prosperity.
