leadership in William Wilberforce

William Wilberforce is a great example of an all around leader.  He was confident when talking to crowds, he was intelligent in the facts of which he strived to get across, and he did not back down from a fight.  Although he was not the strongest person in the courtroom, he was able to sway a few people at a time in order to gain followers in what he believed in.  He was not always successful right away either.  However, he stuck to what he believed in and used outlandish situations to gather people’s attention.  Every time he was in front of a crowd, the intelligent and humble men were always drawn to him because of his own intelligence and humble attitude.  His compassion for others and love for people helped him to gain the respect he needed to get the jobs done that he needed to.  His confidence even when the odds were not in his favor remained strong and ended up pulling through in the end.  His perseverence and faithfulness helped William Wilberforce to achieve abolishment of slavery completely within a few years.  Dedication was the key to Wilberforce’s success and a lot of people can learn a lot from him.
