Editor's Notes

  1. His leadership is perceived in a slightly different way…In our presentation we are analyzing BarackObama with help of paradoxes in order to get complete view of leadership style.
  2. Obama became the human symbol of a new beginning, a new era of hope and possibilities for Americans.
  3. But we would do well to remember that charisma is more than a way with words and an attractive face. It is a powerful tool that the leader who has it can use to repair and inspire a nation greatness once again..
  4. 1.2.3.
  5. 2.As Hillary Clinton said; “We don’t need to be raising the false hopes of our country about what can be delivered”
