A leader that I truly admire is a real life person that has been immortalized as much in real life as well as multiple books and a miniseries is Major Dick Winters. Major Winters was a member of the U.S. Army who server during WWII as an officer who moved up through the ranks to become company commander of Company "E", 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. He was a natural leader who believed that his great service was due to the men that served under him, and his success as a war hero could not have been obtained unless the men under him believed in his cause. Major Winters was proven to be selfless in his actions and decisions time after time and beat the thought to be unobtainable goals during his command throughout the war. He participated in all 3 major jumps by the 101st Airborne during WWII and lead his men based on the relationship theory where as he motivated and inspired his troops by helping the group members see the higher good of the task. He understood that not one man alone could accomplish such a task, and it would take the hard work and dedication of every member that served under him to obtain such goals. Major Winters inspired his team to work to their highest potential and dragged them through what has been described by many as hell to succeed in a world altering course of events. I have never met Major Winters or have never commanded men in anywhere near a theater that he has, but I admire the way he motivated and inspired his men and try to utilize his theories when I lead a group. I feel that every member of the team must see their leader be as dedicated to the cause as the person ordering the job, and they must see you have the enthusiasm that your management has in completing said goal. I try to personally relate to every member in my group and get to know them as well as possible to see what roles fit them the best
