Answer:
Describe to the reader a brave act by a historical figure
Explanation:
In the given excerpt, the author tells us about a heroic act of general Benedict Arnold, an important figure in the Revolutionary War. The purpose is not to show us how dangerous or heroic it is to question orders. Sometimes it is dangerous (like in this case), but sometimes it's not. The act of challenging orders is not heroic on its own, although, in this case, it turned out to be. There are some details showing us how violent the Revolutionary War was, but that is also not the point. All of these details are a part of Arnold's brave act.
A leader has many tasks and roles to play within an organization. From the way that these roles and these functions are played, will an organization be successful and leadership will be effectively established. Leadership, then, requires a series of functions, or characteristics, that will enable a person who is a leader, to actually be good at what he/she is doing. However, probably one of the biggest difficulties faced by leaders is the topic of time management, especially when having a team to direct and limited timeframes to attend all the necessities of the company and its workers. In order then for a leader to be successful in time management, and agenda management, so that all the needs of the company are met, there are two functions that he must focus on and that require this time management; the first is Conflict Management. Although not directly related to agenda and time for specific topics, when a leader is regulating a conflict between two, or more, employees, he needs to sit down with them and establish an order and a time for all the discussions that will take place, as well as for planning and action, because otherwise, he will become less efficient to attend other needs. The second, and most directly related to time management and topic management, is making and keeping an agenda, because this will ensure that the leader will organize his/her time to meet all the requirements without losing focus.
