Participative Leadership

Donald Trump

Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current President of the United States, in office
since January 20, 2017. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. By being more
of a director than an authoritarian, Trump has built a business empire, facilitating ideas and encouraging other
people to freely share information, so that the best decision can be reached instead of one that contains
personal bias. He factors various outcomes that might occur, considers other people’s opinions into every
decision and works to increase the collective mind in every choice, thus everyone will have a share in the
organization’s undertakings.

Charismatic Leadership

Cesar Chavez
Union leader and labor organizer Cesar Chavez was born Cesario Estrada Chavez on March 31, 1927,
near Yuma, Arizona. Chavez dedicated his life to improving the treatment, pay and working conditions for farm
workers. He knew all too well the hardships farm workers faced. When he was young, Chavez and his family
toiled in the fields as migrant farm workers. Let's face it, it's fun to follow a leader. A leader who can get you all
excited about a vision and the means to achieve it. It's a common human instinct. But while leaders can be
effective without being charismatic, possessing charisma -- that winning combo of charm, passion and
persuasiveness -- can be a huge asset. It's awfully hard to resist a charismatic person. Take Cesar Chavez.
The labor and civil rights activist was a thoughtful speaker, but it was his passion when speaking, plus an ability
to relate to ordinary people -- his charisma -- that made so many flock to his cause. Of course, charisma isn't
always a positive thing. Some charismatic leaders can get people to do some pretty awful things.
