Joan of Arc was a peasant girl, a knight, a military leader, and the Patron Saint of France. She was also a visionary and ethical leader. As a visionary leader, I will describe how Joan of Arc was an Advancer who took Gods message and formulated a plan to free France from the English. I will also tell you how she used transformational leadership and Idealized Influence, leading an army of men into battle even while she was wounded. Next, I will show you how she was an ethical leader and demonstrated the trait of loyalty by obeying Gods commands. I will describe how she dealt with the ethical dilemma of potential harm when the English took her as a prisoner. Finally, I will tell you how her use of Idealized Influence inspired me as a leader in the military and how I faced the ethical dilemma of potential harm while deployed in Iraq.
