Characteristics of a Good Leader What makes a good leader? A leader can vary depending on their role in life; it can be a leader on a sports team, a leader for a company, or a person you look up to and want to be like. Leaders are a very important role in our everyday lives. Leaders are all around us at work, home, and even at school. According to Patrik Bang, an economy without leaders would lead to unproductive businesses and lead to a corrupt society. A good leader expresses a role that not all people can have. They keep order in their company or whatever their role as a leader may be. Without an expressive leader around you, there would be chaos arising in society (Bang). Though a leader must have many attributes, a leader must be able to lead others in the direction they are shooting for. Leaders are very important to us; the most important skill any type of leader must have is the ability to lead others (Bang). Each type of leader shows their leadership differently though. The most known type of leader is an instrumental leader. These type of leaders are the ones known to stay on your case and keep order within their group. The other type of leader is called an expressive leader. These leaders are the most liked of the two because they keep everything calm and like to enjoy what they are doing more than an instrumental leader; they still want the job done, but don’t necessarily care how it gets done.

Achievement: Examining Educational Experiences of Children in the U.S. South," Stella Fram, Julie Miller-Cribbs, and Van Horn state that although people have tried to remedy this inequality, "these gaps have proven quite robust" (Fram, Miller-Cribbs, & Horn 2). They propose that, rather than race being at the root of this school achievement gap, it is actually poverty: "In fact, the school achievement gap between poor and nonpoor children is troublingly high. Given the race-poverty overlap, it is not surprising…

Though the term had been used earlier, it was Haydn who conceived of the scherzo in its modern sense. In 1781, he called the third movement of some of his string quartets a “scherzo.” What had been the old minuet-and-trio movement now became a scherzo (and trio), and Haydn’s choice of that name indicated that he wanted more speed and liveliness. Beethoven took this evolution one step further: his scherzos, usually built on very short rhythmic units, explode with violent energy and with enough comic…

This is the type of government we are used to. The government usually respects the rights of the people and allows them to have a voice. In George Orwell’s novel called…
