1LEADERSHIPConclusion:The three leaders chosen in the context of leadership are Mahatma Gandhi, Steve Jobsand Margaret Thatcher. Mahatma Gandhi was a transformational leader in the true sense of theterm. He possessed all the qualities of transformational leaders that are of being inspirational,trustworthy and charismatic. These leaders inspire other people to do their best, which motivatesthem immensely and increases their chances of succeeding. They also have a very strong vision,which guides them in the procedure of making a change. Mahatma Gandhi led his followersimmensely by example and taught them the importance of humanity. The importance of humilitywas also carefully explained by relating the poor conditions of living, which millions of peoplehave to experience (Baxter 2015). Like a true transformational leader, other people gainconfidence and power, which seemed impossible under the British rule. It was due to thepowerful influence of Gandhi that people felt empowered even under the British Rule.The next leader chosen was Steve Jobs. The famous CEO of Apple Inc. is widelyrecognized as an immensely strong charismatic leader. The quality of being charismatic is a gift,which is bestowed on few people and Jobs, was one of the very few charismatic leaders to relatewith. He possessed a magical quality of making the crowd spellbound. The leadership quality ofSteve Jobs helped his company come out of crisis at a time when usually all the leaders fall shortof leadership and management ideas. Integration to the system of the company was alsoseamlessly possible due to Steve Jobs. In Jobs there was an ability to establish and maintain apowerful image being a combination of salesman’s enthusiasm for the product, an immensepassion, a singularity for purpose, the determination to make the business a success in any waypossible (Amanchukwu et al. 2015).
