However‚ it is quite fascinating how a leader often intends to move on with absolute conviction amidst discouraging situation. In the case of Gish‚ it was a commitment to implement a mission irrespective of the outcome (Jastrow & Clay‚ 2006). That being said‚ a strategic leader is someone who has the ability to influence others with a compelling and inspiring vision to achieve the desired goal. If a strategic

Arjuna and Gilgamesh are both on some sort of journey and display qualities of a traditional literary hero‚ but in my opinion‚ Arjuna is the more hero-like man. Arjuna is incredibly disciplined. While being trained with his brothers and cousins by the great teacher Drona‚ he is the only one who can focus singularly on his target and shoot it with his bow. He is also selfless‚ for
