Carly Fiorina
Great leaders aren't born they are made, and they are made just like anything else, through hard work and that's the price they have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. I would be lying if I told you that Carly Fiorina is a perfect person however I do believe that Carly Fiorina is a very unique individual with variety of skills that she can easily implement to politics, in doing so will bring substantial improvement to the current political system and the corporate world. There have been many occasions in Carly’s previous career at HP that she has brought great enhancement and innovations to the company. When I began to analyze her managerial qualities I found six key elements that made her unique but more importantly it was how she implemented her abilities to achieve the goals that really made her a great leader and a potential candidate to run for public office.
The six elements I found comprised of her personality, loyalty, perseverance, understanding, knowledge and judgment. I consider that most politicians do have these abilities in today’s world but aren’t implementing them in an ethical manner. I believe that Carly Fiorina can bring her life experience and skills to the political world and bridge the gap between politics and corporate entities in a way that’s fair and ethical for everyone in America rather then just a select few. To give you some back ground information on “Fiorina became Hewlett-Packard CEO in 1999” (1), where her main vision was to reinvent HP and establish HP's own brand, instead of the numerous sub brands. As a leader she wanted to balance the demands of shareholders, employees, customers, and communities. “In 2000, she also became HP’s chairwoman of the board.” (2) For the first time, Carly was at the top and had much more responsibility and duties than ever before. As usual, she studied the industry and the company before she determined and implemented strategies, improved profitability, and accelerated growth. Swimming in new waters, she was thrown into situations she had never been in before she adapted to technical changes, merged divisions, and championed buyout of Compaq. Because she had no previous experience in these matters, Carly was on the constant flow of actions and decisions.
She was in regular contact with various people and was a very visible CEO, establishing political, business and even entertainment connections around the world through her business travels.
Not many people can add the position of National Security Advisor to their list of achievements, especially if those people are women. Condoleezza Rice, however, can place the accomplishment right up there with being a previous member of President Bush’s foreign-policy team, and tenured professor and provost in the political science department of the prestigious Stanford University.
As we learned in class, an important trait for a leader is to set an example. In order to accomplish this example it is necessary to share your values and teach others to model these values. Eleanor Roosevelt is a perfect example of living incredible values and sharing them with the world. She “brilliantly used her position in the White House to further political, social and humanitarian
There are lot of theories and opinions about what makes a good leader. People who want to become a good leader not only have to have the will to take on the job, but they need to have certain traits and qualities that are characteristic of a good leader.

Many leaders and researchers have come up with certain traits that make people great leaders, whether it is being a leader in a business, organization or a leader of a sports team.

To me, it’s imperative that a person is honest and treats everybody equally with no discrimination. I prefer seeing those who are also enlightened about their careers and how it could drive them to motivate others. Given the chance of being a leader, I would likely follow these aspects so that everybody could be respectful and motivated enough to produce
Traits of a good leader are trustworthiness, respectfulness, honesty, and be stern. When you have leaders that take their role seriously, you can form a backbone to an organization that cannot be broken. You have born leaders and you have trained leaders.

...re difficult to classify as a good leaders because in order to be a leader, we often need to sacrifice our femininity. This belief is actually blocking many women from becoming successful leader. Therefore, even though there are increasing numbers of successful female leaders in the world, such as Hilary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, and Ursula Burns’s female leaders are still a minority.
Good, strong, ethical people can have an immeasurable impact on a company as well. “Ethical leadership creates an ethical culture. Top managers provide a blueprint for a firm’s corporate culture. If these leaders fail to express desired ethical behaviors and goals, a corporate culture evolves on its own to reflect the values and norms of the company” (Ferrell, 2015). “Leadership has a significant impact on ethical decision making because leaders have the power to motivate others and enforce the organization’s norms, policies, and viewpoints” (Ferrell, 2015). Often employees will look to management and top leadership for clues as to what is acceptable and what is not. It is not only important to have good role models in those top positions, but to have a culture where they can fully express their ethical
