Post 8: A good leader that I know... BP

Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell (22 February 1857 – 8 January 1941), also known as B-P or Lord Baden-Powell, was a lieutenant-general in the British Army, writer, founder of the Scout Movement and first Chief Scout of The Boy Scouts Association.

I started to know him because I’ve been part of the Scout movement since I was a pre-teen.

I think he was a good leader mostly ‘cause out of nothing he created a worldwide organization that’s been alive for over one hundred years. He managed to create a method based on positives values directed to youth, also he adapted this method to different cultures, being respectful with nature, culture and even religions and ideologies of every human being. Also he showed he was a good leader when he was on the siege of Mafeking. There he used he’s intelligence to create a way to win the battle without being stronger in weapons or army, for example when he gave torches to a group of boys that changed their position to look like a big guard. That feat made him a hero in England, and gave him the name of “Impeesa” (received for the native South Africans) which means “the wolf that never sleeps”.
