My article was written by Andrew Cox and is about how one man gained respect, and teaches you how to get respect. It goes over the different things a person should do to gain respect from his or her peers. He talks about a man that he met through work. The man was a hardworker and was quiet. This man was really appreciated at his workplace and after a while he would go months and leave, then show up again, then disappear again. Cox always showed him respect through this time because he knew he was a good worker and would show up again.
This article covers the aspect of Respect. What the author is sort of saying about leadership from his article is, if you obey the rules and treat everyone like a human being, they will respect you. You need to be respectful to every person you come in contact with, whether you like them or not to be a leader. The author is trying to reach the working class audience which is older individuals. If you were to put this into action, it would affect whoever you were doing it to, it would affect a large population if you worked at a large company and you treated all of your workers with respect so they worked harder on the job. This is going to affect me because I can do this when I get a job, and maybe I'll be more successful. The fact that it talks about something that a lot of people could actually do in their own lives, and involves working hard is what makes this an important article about leadership.
I think this article is very influential because he affected this man's life whether he realizes it or not. They actually affected each other, but Andrew Cox was being more of a leader I'd say, since Mr. Bentley kept to himself more. "He would come back every night, get his draw, and leave. No talk, no socializing - nobody messed with Mr Bentley." Cox treated Bentley like a real person and he appreciated it, in the end Bentley turned his attitude around and was a more open person.
