...Running Head: MASTER OF EMOTIONS (EI), BILL CLINTON MASTER OF EMOTIONS (EI) BILL CLINTON Jim Whaler Florida State University Management 605, Section 1 Dr. Jane Bagley November 3, 2011 Abstract Bill Clinton was a President that did not allow anyone to tell him something could not be done. If this President found that something could not be completed, he would go as far as possible and then start on the next agenda on the list. He was a well organized President with people in his cabinet that admired this ability. President Bill Clinton changed the entire ambiance of the country with his command of emotional intelligence. When the country was torn on issues, he would find a way to bring people together and solve the problem, or at least reach a successful consensus. Personal problems riddled the Clinton presidency, but this did not stop the forward successes claimed by this giant of a man. Unemployment was a sore subject, but under President Clinton’s direction the economy grew and women and minorities finally began to be placed in high positions in the federal government. The private sector grew and added a high number of jobs in the economy. Bill Clinton is—just--what the U.S. needed during his presidency. Master of Emotions (EI) Bill Clinton During the years of President Clinton’s administration, emotional intelligence was clearly demonstrated in his daily operations. Leaders throughout the world took notice of the incumbent well educated, well spoken...

...Former President, William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton was chosen to be interviewed because I felt that when it came to leadership, he showed great strength and leadership skills while he was the President of the United States from 1992-1998. To me, Bill Clinton inspired me to take action within communities. He was always challenging the processes that society goes through and enabled others to act. Bill Clinton was 46 years old when he was elected to President. He is formerly from Arkansas, a small town called Hope. He was the first president to represent a democratic generation of Americans after World War II. He became president in time when Americans were concerned about health care, jobs, and education for children. I believe that Mr. Clinton began to develop his leadership skills at the early age of seven. He helped raise money for various charities and he was a member of the boy scouts as well as the band. In this I believe that Mr. Clinton began one of the leadership elements which is modeling the way. Modeling the way is a leadership skill where principles are set on how people are to be treated and what goals are to be pursued. I think that Mr. Clinton began to create ways for people to become victorious through small goals. As a teenager, Mr. Clinton began to think about politics and stated that he “was genuinely interested in people and solving problems.” (Sullivan, G., 1997, p. 163) He idolized the former and late President John F. Kennedy, another strong...

...life, Bill Clinton began to become impatient. Clinton had bigger things on his agenda, and he was eager to get started. Clinton was ready to make his high school dream a reality. Clinton announced his intention to seek the 1992 Democratic presidential nomination. In his campaigns outline, a booklet titled A plan for Americas Future, Clinton boldly declared that the future of the nation is in serious jeopardy and that he has suggestions, answers, and solutions to the problems which we face. Clinton had a plan to jump-start our economy in the short-term and a new long-term strategy to turn our countries economy around and restore the “American Dream” for all. While Clinton was governor, he was constantly coming up with new ideas, goals, and campaign tactics, just waiting for this moment to put them to use. Clinton did not waste a minute to start gaining popularity. Clinton possessed excellent campaigning skills. He had the ability to sharply identify issues in his favor. As most everyone does, Clinton had the tendency to give in to public opinion instead of trying to shape it. Shortly there after, Clinton was inaugurated as President of the United States in January 1993, after defeating George Bush senior. At 46, he was the youngest U.S. president since John F Kennedy was elected. He won the presidency with 43% of the popular vote and an Electoral College landslide. It goes to show that all of Clinton’s hard work and dedication paid off. One of the first things that Clinton was...

... I. Introduction In 1996, Congress and the President passed the Line Item Veto Act, purporting to give the President some sort of line-item veto authority over certain spending items. Less than two years later, however, the United States Supreme Court in Clinton v. City of New York struck down the Line Item Veto Act for violating the Presentment Clause of the United States Constitution. The Court focused on the textual language of the Presentment Clause and failed to discuss the broader separation of powers issue. Many have critiqued the Court’s narrow invalidation and avoidance of discussing separation of powers. This note criticizes the Court’s approach in Clinton v. City of New York and argues that the Court should have addressed the more important issue of separation of powers. In doing so, however, this note will argue that there was not even violation of the Presentment Clause like the Majority had decided. In analyzing the Line Item Veto Act under separation of powers, this note argues for a functionalist approach, recognizing the need for a workable government, as opposed to the more textual, narrow formalist approach. Because the Line Item Veto Act did not violate separation of powers or threaten our tri-partite system of government, the Court should not have struck down the Act as an unconstitutional delegation but should have instead upheld the Act as a sound policy decision of both Congress and the President. II. The Line Item Veto Act In 1996, the Line...

...Year 1992 in American History ! ! One of the most chaotic years in our history is 1992. With the Presidential election, massive world events and large events occurring right here in the United States. I believe that the year of 1992 was one year that had a very predominant effect on American society and culture today. While many things can have an effect on a society and cultural mind set, I will show you three major happenings in 1992 that truly shocked our nation and the world around us, to have lasting effects on today. ! ! The generation of today has had their minds molded and formed to change and try to grow successfully in this lifetime. The three events that changed many things in this world are the election of Bill Clinton for president, The peaceful split of Czechoslovakia and the trial and conviction of John Gotti. John Joseph Gotti Jr. was born to John Sr. and Philomena Gotti in 1940. He was the fifth of thirteen children in his very large family. John and his brothers grew up in Brooklyn, New York with a very tainted childhood. They quickly from an early age on became intertwined with child and adult street gangs, often getting caught for petty crimes. In 1960 he met his future wife Victoria, the mother of his children,( Victoria, John, Frank, and Peter.). Frank was accidentally killed when he was hit by a car. But the man who hit him, John Favara, was mysteriously kidnapped and never seen again after the accident was viewed was accidental by the authorities. After...

...Health Care Museum Introduction From the 1900’s to the 2000’s health care in America has changed significantly. Many people believe it has changed for the better, while some feel it may have changed for the worse. Over the years hospitals and other Healthcare facilities have become more scientific organizations. More and more, people are recognizing their need for Healthcare and the importance it plays in their lives. My Museum Hall of Fame will focus on the changes in Health Insurance and its many different policies. The depression in the 1930’s changes Healthcare with Employer-Based Health Insurance, which made health insurance much more accessible to working, middle-class Americans. By the mid 1950’s 45 percent of the population had health insurance coverage. Coverage then skyrocketed and by 1963 about 77 percent of people were covered by some form of Health Insurance. It seems Commercial-Based Insurance companies may have put an end to Employer-Based Insurance, but may have opened the door for insurance to improve and grow in other ways. Development Description Analysis (How does the development affect the current U.S. health care system?) 1. Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance During World War II the federal government controlled employer’s wages, forcing employers to search for another way to attract and hold onto workers. The labor market was suffering because of the increased need for goods and the decreased number of workers during...

...Self-Esteem over Logic and Beliefs Columbia College, Missouri Abstract Self-Esteem gives a person the right to value themselves. Our self-esteem sometimes overpowers our logic, and can lead us to act in ways that are not always our own. This paper examines how the following theories; Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, Self- Evaluation Maintenance Theory, Self-Affirmation Theory, Rationalization Trap and Self-Discrepancy Theory impact a person's self-esteem decisions. Where people in different cases come to realize that the choices they have made overpower their superior perfect logic, they have to deal with the consequences that come along with the choices they have made. Self-Esteem over Logic and Beliefs According to Cherry (2010), “self-esteem is how a person values oneself”. It is a personality trait which comes from the inside of a person. It is all about what one believes about his/her looks, emotions, and behavior. It is an extremely essential need in a person so they can behave normally and be socially healthy. Self-esteem is intertwined with a person’s thoughts, and can also be called self-worth, self-respect or self-value. According to Kruger and Dunning (1999), “People often hold overly complimentary opinions of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains.” Many individuals end up doing things wrong without even realizing it, for the sake of a positive self-esteem. This paper will give examples of behavior that throw logic and common sense...

...Two Former Presidents, Kennedy and Clinton Former President Kennedy and Clinton, although at different times in history, they were both influential during their time as president. They both accomplished many things in their life time, for example Kennedy was involved with Civil Rights, and Clinton was involved in Women’s Against Violence Act. Considering some wrong doings such as infidelity, these two Democratic presidents have a lot in common, such as party affiliations, similar views, and despite their few fallbacks; they were very popular. In 1963, Clinton went to Washington, D.C. With the American Legion Boys’ Nation program. While he was in Washington, Clinton shook hands with President John Kennedy at the White House and in a later...

...battle between Congress and the president has never stopped for even one second. The check and balance system guarantees both Congress and the president can oversee each other`s powers and veto its opponent`s decisions. Especially when the ideas come from female, Congress is always hard to be persuaded on these opinions. In the very beginning, there was no business related to women in this inherent war because those sexist founding fathers did not give voting right to female voters. After ladies got right to vote from the Amendment XIX of the Constitution, American women thought that they finally have same discourse power equal to men. However, actually, even in today, it is harder for any female candidate to compete for power than a male candidate. It is because that the whole government system, which includes legislative, executive, and judicial, is biased against women. And people can easily find the evidence from Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, and Elena Kagan`s experience and encounters. Congress had defeated Hillary Clinton`s healthcare bill when she was still First Lady. This tarnished her reputation considerably, and was looked upon as a rebuke from Congress. The 1993 reform of health care was considered a bill would be submitted by Congress by most citizens. However, after an over one year debate, neither the Senate nor the House wanted to enact First Lady`s proposal into the law. Republican senators Bob Dole and Phil Gramm smeared Ms. Clinton with many sexist words. Congress...

...Comm 301 May 8, 2014 A Pentadic Analysis of Hillary Clinton Interview The artifact we are analyzing for our study is a live television interview that Hillary Clinton was giving to San Francisco’s KTVU-TV in late February of 2008. This interview was broadcasted via television and is also available on YouTube and other video media sources. The interview was being hosted by a man named Ross McGowan of KTVU-TV to senator Hillary Clinton, and that within itself makes it a significant artifact. The live interview about healthcare that Hillary Clinton was giving had to be cut short when the New York senator began having a coughing fit. Prior to the cough attack, the interview was directed but not limited to the subject of health care. Senator Clinton was speaking of issues such as the pulling troops from the Iraq war, California’s mortgage crisis, Americas current health care system, and the idea of a universal health care system. In the end of the interview Clinton fails to answer the question regarding her husbands role in her campaign by coughing for the remainder of the interview abruptly ending it. Whether or not the actions by Clinton were intended, speculation of this interview arose. In 2000, Hillary Clinton became the first women to be elected a seat in the United States Senate. At first glance, Clinton’s aggrandizement to such a respectable political position seemed like a victory for herself and the ongoing women’s movement effort. However, the continual reminder of...
