Che Guevara was an Argentinean-born, Cuban revolutionary leader who
became a left-wing hero.
He studied medicine at Buenos Aires University and during this time travelled
widely in South and Central America.
The widespread poverty and oppression he witnessed, fused with his interest
in Marxism, and convinced him that the only solution to South and Central
America's problems was armed revolution.
His growing desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation
of Latin America by the United States driven his involvement in Guatemala's
social reforms under President Jacobo Arbenz.
7. Your Logo
Additionally, he was a creative writer and diarist, composing a influential
manual on guerrilla warfare, along with a best-selling memoir about his
youthful continental motorcycle journey.
His experiences and studying of Marxism–Leninism led him to posit that the
“Third World's underdevelopment and dependence was an intrinsic result of
imperialism, neocolonialism, and monopoly capitalism, with the only remedy
being grassroots internationalism and world revolution”.
Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to stimulate revolution abroad, first
unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was
captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces and instantly executed.

As a result of utilizing collective imagination strategy, Guevara
become one of the most recognizable and influential revolutionary
figures of the twentieth century.
12. Your Logo
Through focusing on his ideas and not on his legendary style and
expertise
13. Your Logo
Honesty; he display sincerity, integrity, and frankness in all his
actions.
Competent; he had always based his actions on reason and moral
principles.
14. Your Logo
Guevara always had a special sympathy for the poor and oppressed
in society.
The experiences in Latin America ultimately made him decide that
he should devote his life to helping the poor and unfortunate in
society rather than to practicing medicine.
15. Your Logo
His critical, distrustful attitude towards many religions and
philosophies. Without realizing it, he prevents himself from
appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes.
Fear of the unknown, of change, may wave Che Guevara was also
the challenge he faced to admit.
Che Guevara tends to be his own worst enemy, demanding
inhuman perfection of himself and harshly criticizing or persecuting
himself when he does not measure up
He is capable of tremendous effort and of overcoming great odds and
handicaps. Through these efforts Che Guevara develops his power and
inner strength. However, Che Guevara should not make life harder than
it is. He must give himself permission to let up sometimes, and to realize
that he is only human.
16. Your Logo
He failed to meet his objectives of playing his role in his march to
Cong, Bolivia and Mozambique.
17. Your Logo
Undoubtedly he was agreeable leader. But, he failed as a visionary leader
since he failed to forecast the change.
I can say that since he was a fan of Stanley promoter of socialist ideology
Che was an example nary leader for socialist countries.
Hence, I can say that his leadership style can be applicable in socialist or
communist world and /or in a condition where revolution is mandatory for
getting out people from operation and maltreatment like Syria, Tunisia etc.

Guevara took the title of revolutionary leader to different levels.
He was responsible for increasing land reform throughout many
regions.
Guevara also was a major force in improving literacy in Cuba from
75% to 96%.
