Answer 1

FDR when he was elected president America was going through a great depression and then he had to deal with a world war,and he delt with all this while he had polio.

Answer 2

70sSurvivor said it best! I'll just add a few thoughts of my own:

The greatest act of leadership is setting the example. That, followed by a genuine respect for the people you're leading.

I believe Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt showed enormous traits of leadership during a frightful time in the world's history. They displayed courage, set an example of tenacious determination, and respected those they were leading into a world war.

American politicians lost sight to the fact that they are public servants, beholden to the people - NOT the special interests, lobbyists, and big corporations. The Bush administration and the sitting U.S. Congress (by far the most corrupt, evil and incompetent body ever to occupy the Capitol Building) are shining examples of barbaric, disrespectful,cowardly, disdainful, repugnant leadership ever to be thrust upon the American citizenry. -RKO-

Answer 3

The greatest act of leadership and diplomacy displayed by a human being must be the peaceful exit of British empire from India facilitated by Mahatma Gandhi. Can you imagine the ruthless British empire had to leave India because of nonviolence, and Satyagrahas (fasting). No weapons were required. However, it did require a lot of sacrifice and belief in righteousness.

Answer 4

Martin Luther King was the greatest act of leadership in the last half of the 20th century. He led people to a more open mindness by the use of peaceful alternatives.

Answer 5

Besides Jesus, I would have to say the greatest act of leadership was by Abraham Lincoln. After all, most presidents can barely lead a nation when it is mainly agreeing with him, how much more difficult to have half of the country trying to ignore you and start its own country?

Answer 6

The fact that Abraham Lincoln, President of the US, at the time, signed the Emancipation Proclamation, one of the greatest shows of leadership and manhood!

Answer 7

The greatest act of leadership is always "example". I, for one, am sooooo tired of hearing politicians talk about how moral and upright they are and how they support families and it takes a village to raise a child, and all the other pc catch phrases. I don't want to hear you talk. Talk is cheap. I want to see how you walk.
In America, our pollitical landscape has become an open sewer of graft, greed, special interest projects, pork barrel politics and sexual scandals. Bill and Hillary Clinton are prime examples of people who talked but didn't walk. Turns out they have spent their entire adulthood in taxpayer funded homes, using taxpayer funded transportation, enjoying taxpayer funded security, and having Nannies raise their only child. Hillary and Bill are so out of touch with normal everyday Americans. What we need today is a man or woman who will stand behind the ideals of liberty and justice for all. We need leaders who are accountable to the people who elected and pay them.

Answer 8

For political leadership, Gandhi's courageous nonviolence. For spiritual leadership, Gautama Buddha's conquest of the great god Ego.

Answer 9

Declaration of Independence by John Hancock, et al.

Answer 10

Let GOD rule your life so that when problems come before you , you can pray and ask GOD for the solution.
Then put others next and then your self last.
