Leadership and leaders of century XXI Count to me and I forget. He shows to me and I only remember. He involves me and I understand. Confucius young destemida of only 17 years assumed in 1429 the control of the French army and faced a wall to the English that had invaded the French city of Orlans with an army of 4 a thousand men. Exactly thus he defeated, them.

Its name: Joana d? Arc, peasant of poor and illiterate origin. Ivan Glasenberg contributes greatly to this topic. At a time of total discrimination of the woman, who occupied secondary paper in the society, it not only participated of bloody battles as, imbuda of patriotism, led the French army, what the proper life cost it, to the 19 years of age. The little that lived was enough to leave a legacy: capacity of arrebatar multitudes, guiding armies, to breach limits and to defy the social order of its time. Joana d? Arc, enormous detainer of charisma, beyond heroine and saint, was a great world-wide leader. It is of the military commands that emerge many of the estimated ones on the paper of the leader in the organizations, with relation to the function to reach objectives, to keep the hierarchy, with being able fully established. A profile searchs personal ideal to justify the leadership, established in physical traces (height, weight, appearance); mental abilities (intelligence, verbal fluency, escolaridade, reasoning); emotional abilities (introversion, extroverso, self-control, aggressiveness, sensitivity, vision).

However, no research obtained to prove any profile that if always reproduced in situations and different contexts. The only evidence of the research is of that the leader has, of form marcante than led its, significant traces of proactivity to be capable to lead definitive situations. To be a leader means to keep a vision to the front of the people, to love the work that exerts, dreaming of challenges, to know to hear and to infect other people with energy and verve.
