Oprah Winfrey Leadership Style Essay

A leader is someone who inspirers other people to do what they dream of doing, a leader is someone who takes charge and sets some type of rules , a leader is someone who is responsible and respectful to every one 24/7. To show leadership you have to know how to handle people and make people happy, but first you have to know how to handle yourself. In this essay I will be covering Oprah Winfrey and some other leaders that I believe describe leadership.

Three primary leadership styles are participative, delegative and authoritarian. I have more of the leader ship style or participative. I Love for everyone to put some effort into every group work project of life project I have. I’m not the type of person to leave someone out. Participative is

when the boss allows the subordinates to have a say in what happens. It makes the workers feel like they are a team, it also lets the workers know that the boss values the workers opinion. Oprah Winfrey is a leader that is very participative, she includes all of her staff workers on TV and off TV, she is a motivational speaker that involves everyone in her life and job and makes everyone feel equally important. Delegative is also known as liquid democracy, is a form of democratic control where an electorate vests voting power in delegates rather than in representatives. Bill Gates is an American business magnate, philanthropist, investor, and computer programmer. Who in 1975, Bill Gates and Paul Allen co-founded Microsoft, which became the world’s largest PC software company. Bill Gates is a man that is all about what makes the people happy on the internet, from what I can tell he is about the economy, maybe just because he has made lots of money from it. Authoritarian is favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom. Xerox CEO Ann Mulcahy is one person that I know represents the word Authoritarian, she is a very hard working business women who knows how to run her company with authority and how to keep it running smoothly.
I think Marin Luther king Jr, and Oprah Winfrey are two great leaders, that have the three primary leadership skills and more, such as respect for everyone.

They both had really big dreams that they made come true. They are so inspiring to me to do everything big I have ever dreamed of. Martin Luther helped stop slavery, he inspired the people to come together and fight for one thing. And that was peace between blacks and whites. There is still some slavery and judgment to opposite races going on but he changed the world forever. Oprah Winfrey is a person that has been helping people sense she could walk. And I believe that she will still be helping change the world just a little bit more every day until she just can’t plum talk anymore. Oprah is someone that puts her life stories and feelings out on the line every day to be an inspiration to others.

Ann Mulcahy is a successful business leader. She keeps her funding, staff, building, and the business all over run with authority and reassurance, she is able to let people know what she needs done and when to do it and at the same time, she involves her staffs opinion, she makes the feel like a team, she makes them feel like their opinions matter to her. And I believe that’s what all leaders should do, if you make everyone feel like a team you get a better response out of everyone and everything runs way more

smoothly.
These leaders I talk about in the essay are all fantastic people who to me describe what it’s like to be a leader inside and out. Leadership to me means to inspire people, set a good example, and make people want to strive an do better while also knowing how to be the authority and let them know what needs to be done and when it needs to be done.
