· Jay Shetty is a Charismatic leader. He influences others
through power of personality. He acts energetically, and

3. Mahatma Gandhi
1. Why are they role models?
· Mahatma Gandhi helped lead India’s independence from
Great Britain with movements of nonviolence and empowerment
to the people of India. One of the most remarkable
accomplishments of Gandhi was motivating the people of India
to take the power into their own hands. He did this through
sheer humbleness, connecting and relating to the people of
India. Gandhi voluntarily lived in poverty. This was huge
because most of India’s population is in poverty. He wanted to
show the people of India that you do not need status to make a
difference. He wanted to show that our greatest weapon was just
being human. He wanted to show that although he is this great
inspirational leader, that he is really no different from anyone
else, that anyone can make a difference in the world.
2. What are the key personal attributes of these leaders, and
how do the attributes make them a better leader? (An attribute is
defined as a quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or
inherent part of someone or something.)
· Some key personal attributes of Mahatma Gandhi that
contributed to him being a great leader was his honesty, good
faith, persistency, patience, humbleness, and his strong vision
to guide him in his process of making a change in the world.
With these attributes, anything was possible for him and
through these attributes; he was able to show that everyone can
do the same. That is quite remarkable If you think about it. That
is why he was such a great leader. He was able to empower and
motivate people; by relating and connecting with them
3. What is the dominant leadership style of each role model, and
how is the style manifested? Identify a secondary style if
appropriate.
· Mahatma Gandhi was one of the world’s most renowned
transformational leaders with an impact that lives on till this
day. This style of leadership was manifested with him due to his

4. ability to relate to other people making them feel no different
from himself. This motivated people and made them feel
confident and powerful. It’s because of this ability of
empowerment that enabled Mahatma Gandhi to be one of the
most successful transformational leaders the world has ever
known. His act of nonviolence and overwhelming forgiveness
spoke volume to the world and influences people to take the
high road and to just be an overall better person. If he could do
it, you could do it. An eye for an eye will only make the world
blind. So do not stoop down the level of your enemies, instead
make them come up to your level and the world will evolve.
These are the kind of things that Mahatma Gandhi stood for and
would die for.
Theodore Roosevelt
1. Why are they role models?
Theodore Roosevelt is known for his many accomplishments
such as the Battle of San Juan Hill in the Spanish-American
War, becoming the youngest U.S. President, and negotiating the
end of the Russo-Japan War. However his many
accomplishments are not what make TR a role model, but rather
how he went about conquering these feats. As a child he was
frail, asthmatic and near-sighted, resulting in his
homeschooling. His father once told him, “Theodore you have
the mind but you have not the body, and without the help of the
body the mind cannot go as far as it should.” TR decided to
build a home gym where he could begin a strenuous routine of
boxing, weight lifting, rowing, and hiking (The Life of
Theodore Roosevelt, 2014). Truly, this molded him into the role
model he would grow up to be; intolerant to anything but one’s
best effort. Many people, young and old, can look up to our
26th president and how deeply he would commit his time and
effort to any task, big or small.
2. What are the key personal attributes of these leaders, and

5. how do the attributes make them a better leader?
Some key personal attributes that made Theodore Roosevelt a
superior leader was his strong work ethic, compassion, and
fairness. Roosevelt’s work ethic was forged as a child and
young adult which lead to his mantra of deep work. When
presented a task he would focus only on that single task with his
fullest attention and intensity. A good example of this was how
he would study as a freshman at Harvard. According to his
personal diary and letters he would schedule his day from 8:30
am to 4:30 pm making sure to include all his classes, daily
physical activities, and lunch. He would then use the time
between to study, dedicating anything after 4:30 pm for
personal interests and hobbies. Most students could not do this
simply because this only left a couple of hours, split throughout
the morning and evening, to finish school work. However, due
to Theodore studying with his fullest attention and intensity he
finished the year with honors in 5 of 7 classes (Feloni, 2016).
On top of this he was a compassionate and fair man which was
apparent in his political views and accomplishments. An
example of this is his addition to the Monroe Doctrine with the
Roosevelt Corollary in 1904. This essentially stated the United
States would act with military force if there were any flagrant
wrongdoings in the western hemisphere, such as not paying
back international creditors or inviting foreign aggression (U.S.
Department of State, 2017). Another example of his compassion
and fairness is how he aimed to dismantle large trusts and
monopolies, allowing domestic small businesses to compete.
These actions directly backed his use of the term Square Deal
which he described as, “I mean not merely that I stand for fair
play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for
having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial
equality of opportunity and of reward for equally good service”
(Britannica, 2017).
These three key attributes of strong work ethic, compassion, and
fairness all contributed to making TR a better leader. His strong

6. work ethic inspired his colleagues and followers, and added
much credibility to his name. His compassion allowed for him
to view situations in different perspectives, and build mutual
trust with the American people. Lastly his fairness enabled him
to make ethical decisions and changes, as well as building even
more mutual trust.
3. What is the dominant leadership style of each role model, and
how is the style displayed? Identify a secondary style if
appropriate.
Theodore Roosevelt’s dominant leadership style was a
transformational style. His “Great Man” traits allowed him to
charismatically win people over by creating a shared vision the
majority of the country could support. Through voice and action
he would accentuate how important it was to be aware of right
and wrong. Through voice he would repetitively mention his
coined term “Square Deal”, or his ever so famous quote, “speak
softly, but carry a big stick”. This all directly transcended into
his actions of distinguishing between right and wrong such as
cracking down on unfair monopolies, setting aside 230 million
acres of land to be preserved, and sending a fleet on naval
destroyers on a world tour to show the United States would act
almost as the world police (The Life of Theodore Roosevelt,
2014). Another way Roosevelt displayed his transformational
leadership was through his method of “wandering around”. TR
would frequently, “venture into tenements, naval shipyards, and
all levels of government to visit both staff and citizens. He
wanted to convey the message that he was willing to go
everywhere and do everything that he expected of his staff”
(Allen, 2017).

8. Final Draft
Discussion1
The Supreme Court reverses a ruling by the D.C. Circuit Court
of Appeals that the environmentalist plaintiffs in the litigation
surrounding construction of the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline are
entitled to an award of attorneys' fees against the oil company
consortium which intervened as a defendant. The circuit court
was mistaken in awarding attorneys' fees in the absence of
statutory authorization on the ground that plaintiffs acted as
"private attorneys general" in enforcing NEPA and the Mineral
Leasing Act of 1920. Only Congress, not the courts, can
authorize such a far-reaching exception to the general American
Rule against the recovery of attorneys' fees by the prevailing
party in federal litigation. It is up to Congress to determine
which statutes embody such important public policies that
awards of attorneys' fees should be provided as an incentive for
citizen enforcement by including specific provisions for such
awards in those statutes. For the courts to make such
determinations on their own under the rubric of the private
attorney general theory is impermissible. In dissent, Justice
Marshall argues that the majority's imposition of an absolute
bar on the use of the private attorney general rationale as a
basis for equitable attorneys' fees awards takes an extremely
narrow view of the inherent equitable powers of the courts in
this area and flies in the face of the high court's prior decisions
relating to this issue.Litigation and Resolution." Please respond
to the following:
Read the case summary of Alyeska Pipeline Services
Co. v. Wilderness Society. Discuss the court’s analysis that the
legislature, not the courts, need to address responsibility for

9. lawyers’ fees? Discuss why there is resistance to liberalizing
lawyers’ fees awards? Explain if there is another approach, such
as proportionate responsibility or capping fees?
