Ineed with doing a speech about george washington about how he was a great leader

I gathered facts that you can pick or join together to make your speech and I hope it helps..

Explanation:

Washington was a man of faith and action

1.Our first president believed deeply in God’s providence and he demonstrated it with his actions. He was not one to give eloquent speeches and remove himself to a comfortable tent. He put his faith and his beliefs into action. A leader “walks the talk” and recognizes that true authority comes from God. Every leader is but a steward of power that rightfully belongs to God, and should act accordingly.

2.Washington demonstrated exemplary character and conviction

Integrity should be the first characteristic of a leader. While no one is perfect, Washington truly tried to live by his own words and principles at all times. Washington’s high moral character enabled him to lead his troops through difficult times. For example, Washington was able to rally his troops, even during the difficult winter experienced at Valley Forge in 1777-1778.

3.Washington treated those reporting to him with dignity and respect

Washington was against tyranny and he valued individual freedom. Therefore, he did not act like a tyrant and extended freedom to others. Washington had faith in his people. No matter what rank, Washington treated everyone with the same respect. God’s image is indelibly imprinted on all of us. Leaders, especially, should demonstrate this truth in all of their relationships. If God can give us free will, a leader can empower people and then give them the agency and support to do their best work.

Washington had high expectations of himself and his people.

4.Once the men knew that Washington would respect them and that he was personally invested in the mission, they were willing to give their all for him. This type of relationship is extremely effective and allows the leader to ask for great things from his/her followers. The bad leader is one who sets up rules without relationships. That structure only leads to rebellion.

5.Washington placed his people’s welfare above his own

Nothing creates a stronger loyalty than a follower knowing the leader truly cares about them. This willingness to look out for others in pursuit of a higher purpose is true servant-leadership. A leader puts other people first.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
