CAPTAIN AMERICA

Democratic leadership: this type of leadership can apply to any organization, from private businesses
to schools to the government. Solutions that are acquired on the basis of democratic approach tend
to last long, provided they are revised periodically. As the style facilitates a healthy engagement among
the team members, some popular processes that are mutual in most companies are properly
maintained.

A traditionalist leadership style favors an organization’s intangible values like integrity and quality
over the metrics of money, costs, deals, and variables. Yet, in their pursuit of excellence, they achieve
the best of both worlds. The leaders who embody the traditional leadership style are the ones who
come up with the best companies in the world with the simplest and genius product hacks ever
imagined.

MOVIE
Captain America is the alter ego of Steve Rogers, and is a superhero appearing in American comic
books published by Marvel Comics. Captain America was designed as a patriotic supersoldier who
often fought the Axis powers of World War II .

Have a purpose and vision. Captain America is very clear on what he needs to do and accomplish. He
understands that his purpose is to right wrongs, fight for justice, and complete virtually impossible
missions. Knowing this, Captain America is able to create a strategy that accomplishes the mission and
execute the necessary tactics to aim that strategy. As a leader, you must have an explicit purpose and
vision for yourself, your team, and your mission.

Be willing to both lead and follow. Captain America has an ego but will adopt a position of humility to
advance the mission. He leverages the strengths of everyone on his team to accomplish the goal,
allowing others to lead when their talents are stronger. He leads from the front, never asking anyone
on his team to do something he wouldn’t do himself.

Let every team member shine. As leader of the Avengers, Captain America is surrounded by the
world’s most powerful superheroes. He understands their strengths and leverages them to best
accomplish the mission. He lets each team member have a chance in the spotlight, considers his team
individual skillsets and willingly embraces team members’ ideas. He always takes others’ opinions into
account, which can make them almost too obliging. By sharing the credit, he gains the admiration and
respect of his team; his team is willing to follow him into battle. Effective leaders recognize the
contributions of their team members.

An example in a movie is when Cap believes the Avengers should follow Nick Fury’s orders. However,
when his team raise concerns about Fury’s motives, Steve listens and investigates for them, uncovering
the truth

Focus on things that will have the biggest impact. Captain America has a laser focus on the important
things that create the most significative difference. He doesn’t allow himself to be dragged into the
small details that won’t make a major difference, accomplishing the goal.
Be a risk taker but not reckless. The job of a superhero, as well as a leader, is inherently risky. The
Avengers understand the risks and trust Captain America not to put them in harm’s way unnecessarily.
This inspires loyalty among his team.

Admit when you’re wrong. Captain America takes responsibility for his actions and readily admits
when he’s wrong. He doesn’t worry about losing respect or being seen as weak. When he makes a
mistake, he owns it and acknowledges that he must consider other actions. Don’t let being right stop
you from moving on productively.

Be resilient. Captain America gets back up when he’s knocked down and never quits. He may get
discouraged, but he is persistent and adaptable in order to find a way to win. He understands that
intelligent actions, patience, and persistence are worth the effort. He never gives up and fights for
achieving what he wants, no matter how harmed he is or how FLTERED?? GOOd over evil

Emotions: emotionally, he uses his empathy and heart when making decisions, he tries to look for the
best for his team and everyone, and if anyone must be harmed, he is willing to be himself rather than
an innocent person or even a mate or friend.

CONS
It becomes regretful: In this leadership style, the foremost benefit can also become the biggest
drawback. The style creates an environment where every individual might expect their input to be
valued and implemented. In reality, only a few selected ones could be implemented from a large pool
of opinions and recommendations, making the leaders spend more ample time apologizing individuals
whose ideas were not considered in the game plan than maybe focusing on the main objective.

It eats more than affordable time: The consensus approach often leads to procrastination, leading the
management to find it difficult of working within the allowed framework and timeline. Hence, a bad
choice in case of time sensitive or urgent deliveries.

Processing decisions is time-consuming: Quite an extension of the last point, it’s obvious when
management is to listen to a large number of people, the decision-making process is only going to get
indefinitely delayed. Furthermore, integrating all the ideas at a single platform and then analyzing the
applicability of each is going to require some real patience and intelligent brains.

The element of uncertainty: Leaders deploying democratic leadership style sometimes tend to misfire
or become inconclusive, especially in critical situations requiring immediate responses. Such managers
and leaders would fail disastrously in situations demanding more of an authoritarian handling.
