 The process of an individual influencing
members of a group to work toward the
groups goals.
Martin Luther King
He was a speaker who provided inspiration to a lot of
people. Most popular among his inspirational speeches
was the "I have a dream "speech. This speech brought a
lot of people into taking action as King spoke with authority
and was capable of mobilizing an entire country that
shared his vision.
John F. Kennedy
He was a very charismatic leader who along with is wife
turned the White House into a fairy tale story. As a
president he also energized the nation and made the
space program a national affair. With his vision he set a
goal that was reached and for which he will be eternally
remembered.
Martha Stewart
The image of a meticulous and highly demanding
individual easily comes to mind when you think of this
woman. In her we find a sizeable amount of controversy
but she continues to flourish with her organization and is
effectively served by her autocratic style of leadership as
well.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey has her own television show
which influences thousands of people across
America. She has done number charity
fundraisers and has founded schools in poor
countries.
Mary Kay Ash (Mary
Kay Cosmetics)
Anyone who thinks of pink Cadillac's is completely right.
The pink Cadillac symbolizes a highly successful and top
performing company. The brand of inspirational leadership
that Mary Kay has provided has turned as simple $5,000
investment into a billion dollar establishment.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Americans all over the nation were told that: "We are on trial to
show what democracy means." She was both a champion of civil
and women's rights and she showed compassion to the poor in
the depression era. Another lesson she inspired in her own true
words was: "It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing
to do yourself."
