You don't have to have some sort of special skill to be a leader all you really need is confidence, common sense, basic knowledge skills, and hardworking skills. Being able to speak up is also a great quality to have, it not that hard to become a leader It's a good one that hard. Anyone could be a leader, but if your doing it just for the power and don't have any basic knowledge their not gonna get anywhere with being a good leader]]> 2022-09-22 18:31:48 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309306133 lvictoria21 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309388975 (logan victoria) I think people rise to power by gaining other's trust and respect. This is important because if one person doesn't respect or trust another they won't encourage them to have a leadership position over them. This is seen most commonly in the presidential elections. People vote for who they trust with running the country and who they would respect as their president. I don't think everyone has the same ability just because of how they grew up or were raised which I don't think is fair. I think that some people won't want to see someone in a leadership position if they don't necessarily "fit in". ]]> 2022-09-22 19:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309388975 How does one rise to leadership- Nathan Meehan https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309532473 If we look at our past, we can find that people look for a leader that will bring change when they are desperate. In the 1930's, Germany's people were desperate. Their country had been taxed and stripped to the ground after their crimes in world war 1. In this desperation they looked to a poor man, named Adolf Hitler. He gave passionate speeches on how he will re-enlist Germany as the great nation it once was. In addition to this, he promised to make it an even greater Arian nation. The people of Germany were inspired and mad of being oppressed for crimes that their state officials caused. For this reason, They voted for Hitler and the rest is history.]]> 2022-09-22 22:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309532473 The Rise of Powerful Leaders - Owen Synovec https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309545483 I think people rise to leadership roles when people need direction or something to believe in or someone to listen to. I believe this is the case because many people don't know how to guide themselves and in times of need, they look for someone's help. I also think that humans are social and crave others' ideas and outlooks on situations. I don't think everyone can be a leader because some people don't know how to care out with a decision and overthink or second guess themselves, which is a terrible trait for a leader. An example of this is someone like Stalin who used the Russian workforce and iron will to carry out his bidding causing the soviet union to prosper. His guidance lead Russia to the brink of collapse as people starved and many died but he guided them as the ruler during a time of war. His mind saved Russia from the initial invasion of the Third Reich and without him, Russia may have fallen under Nazi rule. ]]> 2022-09-22 22:30:02 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309545483 What it takes to be a leader. https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309562400 In order to rise to power or become a leader you need certain qaulties. One being the ability to give and write public speeches. If you can speak well then you can inspire hope, motivate, or even strike fear in someone. Another qaultiy is the ability recognize defeat. When you are at war and you realize you are not gong to win it may be best to gather what resources you have and save what reaming lives there are. An example of a good leader is George Washington. During the American revolutionary war, the Americans where heavily out matched. So he used the one thing they had, the home advantage. He used what is called gorilla tactics. He would take his troops attack the British and run. Yes this was considered a loss, but they slowly took out the British troops. ]]> 2022-09-22 22:55:00 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309562400 How do people rise to be a leader. https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309632553 I believe that a person can rise to power and to be able to rise to power that person needs to have a good education, the ability to think in tough situations, the ability to be able to fight head-on, and the ability to punish their subordinates. Can everyone rise to power if they wanted, I don't think so because of how we are born and what we choose to do with our life. If you are born weak and not strong you may be good at thinking and have the ability to think first before you make a mistake as a leader, but you also need to be headstrong and have courage. Some people are born strong but have no sense of what to think and just do before they think and it may cause them to get into trouble that could have been avoided. An example of this would be in the 1700s when Kings had all the power, they would not spend anytime on their subordinates and all their time and money on themselves. When the Renaissance happened people began to use their heads and oppose the idea of a ruler. They began to make education more important and make strong decisions that could benefit everybody. In the end the characteristics of a leader differ in everybody's mind, so there is no right definition of a leader.]]> 2022-09-23 00:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309632553 bvelasco81 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309793899 I believe that anyone can become a leader but only if you try to be. Yes I think everyone does have the same ability to be a leader if they wanted to because everyone has the power to change but some people don't try to. For example someone can join a business and be a low rank such as someone starting a job as a cashier but the more handwork they put it they could possibly become manager. ]]> 2022-09-23 02:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309793899 edelapaz11 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309907705 I believe anyone can rise to leadership. It is all about doing the right things and showing everyone else that you are willing to work hard. If you work hard, people will look up to you more. I do think everyone has the ability to become a leader. They have to step up and not be scared to make mistakes or get judged by anyone else. -Evan Dela Paz]]> 2022-09-23 04:25:45 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309907705 Leadership-Karli Carafelli kcarafelli1 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309914857 In my opinion, a person can rise to a position of leadership by having credibility, influencing people and having people's trust/telling the truth. I believe this because these qualities can help a person to gain respect and therefore be looked up to by others. I don't think everyone has the same ability to be a quality leader because not everyone can/will stand up for the truth. Some people get to a position of power and then instead of being a good leader and influencing the people in a positive way, they may lie for their own benefit. Today we see propaganda and disinformation so often, especially in politics, which is an example of poor leadership. Lying or withholding the truth does not make a quality leader, in my opinion. ]]> 2022-09-23 04:32:58 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309914857 Jackson DeCanio https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309935923 I believe that anyone can rise to power with the right means and purpose. If people work hard enough and get good support they can get to that position. The leader also needs to be able to instruct and inform in a good, nice, critical way. An example of this is with my team caption for my sport. The old caption didn't pay much attention to the rest of the team but when our current leader stepped up, everyone started working more together as the leader united them. She asserted power in a way not to be condescending manor to the rest of the team. She also hold negative comments to herself as to not make the other person feel bad and rejected, but instead give constructive feedback. ]]> 2022-09-23 04:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309935923 Leadership - Brayden Smith https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309969775 In my opinion, people rise to leadership roles with support from there society, or surrounding peers. For example, presidential elections are based on votes that are cast by the society. Also, at school for clubs, our peers vote for presidents, and other spots in the club. I believe this because leaders run, or lead groups of people. If those groups of people aren’t supportive, then the leadership will look bad. If people support their leadership, then their leader will thrive. I don’t think that everyone has the same ability to be a leader because we are all different. Some of us are good leaders and are comfortable with speaking to or leading large crowds. Others may be the opposite and not like leading large crowds. It all depends on how we are on a social level.]]> 2022-09-23 05:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2309969775 Jacob Callueng https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310006147 I believe people can rise to a leadership role using connections through other people to gain respect, trust, and popularity. Like people who act like the leader in a friend group, they rose to a "leadership role" in the friend group by gaining respect from pears, trust from others, and popularity with people. I believe this because people can easily have the simple knowledge of conversation skills, courageousness, and good knowledge on people's feelings. I feel like everyone might not have the same ability to be a leader if they'd like to. People might have trouble understanding or speaking to others. Some people might have the power to speak to others so easily, but some people also don't poses that power or the strength to be in front of people and talk to them.]]> 2022-09-23 06:09:59 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310006147 Why People Rise To Power -Ava Stassart astassart1 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310007716 I think people rise to power because a lot of people need a leader to succeed in society. People rise to be a leader by being outspoken and brave. A real-life example is when you're doing a group project and no one knows where to even start. For some people it's hard to make decisions that will affect others. But, if there is someone that can step up as a leader they can make decisions and create order so everyone can contribute to the project. This small example can relate to bigger real-life problems. People sometimes need a leader to know what the best decision can be. People want this leader to be empathetic, creative, and understanding of others. I think everyone has the ability to lead but what makes a good leader is a compassionate leader. A good leader doesn't think for themselves or only a certain group. They think for all the people they lead. Therefore, not everyone has the same ability to lead or be a good leader. ]]> 2022-09-23 06:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310007716 Why People Rise To Power -Matt Fisher https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310045572 In society I think that people rise to power because it is a necessity. There are going to be some people that have very good public speaking and leadership skills. These people are usually the one that others follow. I believe this happens for the reason that most people find it hard to take care of there own decisions so they find the need to follow someone else's lead. A real life example about this subject is high school sports. If you are loud and brave in the first place the little freshman are going to start listening to you and picking up on your behavior/actions. This will cause them to follow you because they think that you are the king of the players. This will cause some people to be jealous and so they will start to be more like you. This will start to cause conflict between the followers and so more leaders are being made. ]]> 2022-09-23 06:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310045572 garellano41 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310742509 I think people can rise to power by showing their strength and power. ]]> 2022-09-23 16:02:04 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310742509 https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310822986 i think people can be leader when there is a moment of crisis, like hitler he had good idea for the germans, he showed power and trust,like every dictator does good thing and bad thing.

Usually people with all of these resources have an easier time becoming leaders. Being in contact with important people will make it easier to get there.

I believe this is the case because when we don't have anyone to guide us or help us think and decide tough decisions in situations like that, we are in shambles and don't know how to decide things like staying calm and in one place and not talking, or leaving immediately, etc. 2)no, not everybody has the same ability to be a leader if they'd like because some people might have anxiety problems, or problems thinking etc. https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310832366 -nathaniel murphy]]> 2022-09-23 17:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310832366 Rise to leadership goals https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310837344  Any one can rise to leadership goals it really just depends how hard some people work to rise up. Why I believe this is because someone who just does something good for others will start to rise up because the people want that person as their leader. Not everyone has the same ability to be a leader. Why I believe this is because some people may not know how to lead and how to be a good example for others.

Where we are currently we have a democracy law where we vote for possible candidates to take on a leadership type role. Although, in places like the United Kingdom they have their royal family way of leadership. To take on a leadership role in a place like that you have to be born into it.  I feel that's the case mainly just because of tradition or how history has developed over the years. I don't think everyone has the same ability to be a leader. Some people have better characteristics to take on a leadership role than someone who may be more closed off or less responsible. I think anyone could change though so if someone wanted to develop more of those traits i'm sure they could. ]]> 2022-09-23 17:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310875283 Leadership https://padlet.com/oxnardunion/vhfto3vtg6ge5y8m/wish/2310884752 If they see your belief that they have some value, if they know they can make a difference, they will be influenced by you.

I believe that there are many things one needs to have to even be considered for a leadership role. One I think they need to have confidence because they are not going to listen to someone without confidence in what they are saying. In the real world people always say you can get to a lot of places with just some confidence and it is true. My last point is they need to have that leadership role like someone that is able to tell people what to do and get along with people so they need to have people skills.
