My Personal opinion on Bill Gates

What I admire	What I criticize
I admire bill gates generosity and his passion for philanthropy. Although being the richest man in the world he does not too high and mighty to land a head. I also admire he attitude towards failure where he turns failures into learning points.	I was shocked when I discovered that bill gates ripped of ideas from other people, he need to be more original I felt that he made a lot of choices that affect the performance of his product badly and he did not bother to improve them instead let other people do it for him.

Bill's leadership style

Leadership style

After going through the huge amount of information and watching the biography, I realize that Bill Gates has strong autocratic and delegate styles of leader ship. Although both styles contradict each other, bill gates uses this styles on separate situations.

Leaderships style	Autocratic Style	Delegate Style
Definition	An autocratic style of leadership is where the leader makes a decision without the consent of the subordinates.	A delegating leadership style is where the leader is willing to turn over responsibility for decision making and problem solving to the subordinates.
Example	In the words of Steve Ballmer one of the CEO in Microsoft he states that “Control is basic to Gate's nature and his management practice. He has an obsession with detail and with checking up. Exp. Used to sign expenses for his right hand man” Bill gates also tried to monopolies the world wide web software market and restricted the ability of its internet partner to deals with his rivals. Lastly he dislike complaints	Bill Gates pays special attention when recruiting and retain the best in the software industry has to offer. He believed that recruitment of talented software engineers was one of the most critical elements in the software industry. He then delegates them authority to manage and run their independent departments.
Advantages and disadvantages	Advantages Disadvantages Easy to learn as it is the most basic style of leadership Can only be used on low skilled worker Control- can work through company crisis Increase work burden since the leader take full responsibility   Subordinates will  become dependent on the leader and can’t think for themselves	Advantages Disadvantages Participative leadership empowering subordinates to make decision If the subordinates are overwhelmed by making decision they will make confused and stupid decision   Delegative leadership allows little guidance from management Subordinates oriented leadership style demands decisive and experience management style which is hard to come by

My opinions on "Leaders born or made"

Throughout human history great people with leadership capability are either born with it or they are made into a leader by circumstances. Regardless both a natural gifted leader and self-made leaders are both good in their own right but if we were to analyze deeper into a gifted leader and a self-made leader we could see that gifted leaders are as good as they come due to the fact that they did not go through trials and tabulations of being a inexperience leader however this is only partly true as some gifted leaders are born in a sense that power, respect and authority are not served to them on a silver platter which shows that they did worked for their statues. If you’re wondering “wait this sounds more like a self-made leader.” Yes you are right this indeed sound like a self-made leader however being gifted is one thing, working for your subordinates’ respect is another. What I’m trying to say here is that, leaders regardless of how gifted he or she may be cannot be a true leader as they never started from rock bottom and rise through the rank whereas a self-made leader worked from the bottom up and therefore he can relate to his subordinates better which in turn earn their respects. A good king does not force people to bow to him; a good inspires the people to stand with him. In a nut shell, a good leader is a person who can earn the love and respect of their subordinates.
