President George Washington: A Timeless Model of Great Leadership

Abstract

President George Washington is an exceptional example of how a great leader lives and operates on a daily basis. This lesson is arguably no more evident today than in any other time in history. The way Washington lived his life, though not without mistakes, is suitable for teaching to the officers in all the U.S. military service schools. As this paper has examined the life and decisions made by Washington through the lens of a few of today's leadership experts one can clearly see that Washington is and will continue to be a great example of leadership and suitable for study across all generations.
