Barack Obama’s Leadership Style: The Top 3 Leadership Qualities of the First African American President of the United States

“Yes, We can.” Mindset

Everyone who has heard of the US elections would have come across this phrase coined by Obama, ‘Yes we can!’. It inspired a whole nation because of the context of the US economy at that time; unemployment was high and it was the aftermath of the Lehman Crisis of 2008.

This signifies a can-do attitude about Obama, inspiring his followers to believe that all things are possible despite the challenges.

As a leader, we need to show this can-do attitude too; to believe that it is possible first before our followers believe; to see the victory before anyone else sees it.
