Introduction
Leadership and success are directly related. The relationship is based on factors that leadership entails; this means that success in one’s life is a dependent variable and leadership in the independent variable. This is because leadership is crafted using various factors or components. Lindon leader as a leader was not made overnight, but his life as a designer started many years ago at college and during in career experience. To be whom he is today and the fame behind his work is a long-term struggle (Sweetnam 61). Starting from a student at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, he has won various awards under his honor; all these are attributed towards the hard work he placed not only in designing profession, but also as a student from the said college. He started as an employee with a humble background (education) but later become a known designer in the world. Today he is ranked among the top ten best designers in the past 35 years. Various factors can be accounted towards the success and change of Lindon leader such as:
Positive Attitude as a Driver Transformation
Lindon leader is known to be a designer with a positive attitude towards everything he does in his work as a designer. As a leader of more than 100 people today; in his company, he ought to have a positive attitude and positive thinking skills. This has made him build inner strength and confident in his work. At field of art in one that demands openness of mind since it is built on only creativity and innovations on symbols and image. With the strength and confident, he can come up with outstanding work as the FedEx logo among others that has made him famous (Airey 12). Positive attitude and mindset have helped him to develop an understanding and giving solutions to the problem not only of the design work, but also to his employee. Offering solutions to clients has been one of things that Lindon leader is known of. He has credible mindset that gives him a hand over other designers of his time and even to the contemporary ones. Lindon leader is also a problem solver. Various companies and organization are faced with marketing issue and at last the end solutions to this issues is a brand image. In this case Lindon leader offers such organization logos that support their marketing concepts and campaigns hence end up being victorious in the business world. For example FedEx’s CEO, Fred Smith asked Lindon Company to offer him a logo that will place his truck business ahead of the others, and he did not mind what the company will do, but would only account for the changes they make. He was one of the happiest individuals who accepted the Logo when it was presented to him and approved it. Today FedEx is one of the most successful land and air transport in the world.
Transforming Other People’s Lives as a Facet for Change
Lindon leader is one who truly has changed lives of individuals and organization since he’s one person who finds design solutions to problems presented to him. One of the attributes of a successful leader is that he/she should not run away from the problem and should be confident in whatever he/she does. In this view, Lindon leader is one person that faces a problem the way it is presented, “he has been approached by various organization when in light of falling or running to liquidity due to poor or less constructive logos and designs, but not of them has a negative memory of not being helped by this leader”. It is true that Lindon leader moved from a small designer to a well-known excellent designer in history.
Accepting other Designers to Gain experience and Share
Leadership transformation and accepting others are one of the things that lead to a positive transition of Lindon leader who moved from a humble designing background to a successful and famous designer in the world. He was able to work under someone as a design director in one of the offices in San Francisco. He was working for Landor Associate, one of the leading global brand consultancy firms well known for executing strategy via design. But now he runs his shop in Park City in Utah whereby he continues to work the whitespace in developing logos and mark for a wide variety of organizations. As a designer, the ability to work at all levels is what counts to one’s supremacy in the future since designing industry calls for a lot of experience and exposure to mentor who has filled various “whitespaces” in the past.
Focus
In addition, the leader should be a person who is focused on attaining or achieving his goals or objectives. Without such dreams in life of a designer, then there is no hope to success like that of Lindon leader. With a goal of becoming one of the most outstanding designers in the world, started with the first the step that Lindon leader made at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. His goal is evident that he one time wanted to become a well-known designer in history hence he took this bold step, rather he could have been a doctor if he had gone to medical school. As a goal attained, Lindon leader has a design philosophy of working “ I work to attain two things: clarity and simplicity. ” He states that a great design is generated of two things and him things that the world of design needs this two things to say that all is done in the best form and framework (David 10). This philosophy has always changed the life of Lindon leader transforming him from a small designer to a well-known international designer in world history.
Accept to Mentor Others
As a designer he has been able to work with others and also mentor various people towards success, “every design book or journal that does not have Lindon leader in into is considered empty.” This means that the leader is able to work in accordance with his spirit is success to change lives of others (Sharma, Rachna, and Madhavi 58). His works have moved around the world changing his life each day. For example, as FedEx trucks and air- careers move on air, all is counted towards in success hence this counts towards is transition from small designer to a well-known world-class designer in history.
Risk Taking
Lindon leader is one of the known design risk taker and one of the qualities of good leaders who have not only changed their lives, but also the lives of others is being a risk taker. “For example, the Lindon leader took the contract of designing FedEx Logo from the blues, he was not sure that he will meet the demands of the CEO. But he pulled up his team of professionals working at his organization and made sure they did they handled the task.” If the work could not be accepted then Lindon leader could risk paying the expenses incurred to the teams work on the logo among other things. However, with his risk taking drive, he made of the most extraordinary design subtraction designs in history.
Motivation through Challenges
In the design industry, a designer has to be motivated with the challenges that arise as he/she works on art. There is no well-developed designed logo and mark that misses its past challenge and downfalls, for the FedEx logo to be successful integrated there was a challenge to its success. Therefore, Lindon leader ability to work under challenges and to overcome is what has made him whom he is today. Therefore, it a challenge to upcoming designers that the world of designing is coupled with various challenges before one makes a step towards success or have a smooth transition from a smaller designer to a well-known designer (Sharma, Rachna, and Madhavi 60).
Commitment to Work
The other concern that is worth mentioning about Lindon leader is his 100 percent commitment to his Job. This individual is one of the most committed individuals in design industry. Filling the whitespaces to generate a meaningful logo or mark calls for 100% commitment to the work. Having worked for various companies before starting his company, this person was able to understand that success in the industry calls for tolerance and commitment. He states, “It took me more than ten years to work under pressure from my bosses and clients to be who I am today and my fruits of success are tailored towards commitment and devotion to my work, don’t look at my Logo but consider the time I spend to develop them.” Therefore, we can state that Lindon leader transformation from a small designer to a well-known designer in the world comes because of his commitment to his work, a challenge to junior designers.
Conclusion
It can be deduced that the path to success as a designer is not a wide path not is it a smooth path, but it’s a journey guided by proper leadership and experience. Lindon leader truly moved the ladder of design career from small designer to a well-known designer.

A Reflection About Laocoon and His Sons Sculpture
In general, I can describe my experience while carrying out this research as exciting and fulfilling. I learned a lot of new information which otherwise I would never have known. Before today, I never knew about the existence of the Laocoon and His Sons sculpture. At first sight, I did not know the story behind the sculpture; I did not even know that the three individuals were a father and his two sons. I was curious to know what happened to these individuals who appeared to have died such a painful death. I excepted that probably, they were prisoners being punished for a mistake. However, upon finishing the analysis, I learned that the Laocoon and His Sons is among the most revered and imitated sculptures in art history and that many sculptors used to develop other sculptures which exist today.

Understanding the history of American political campaigns
The political campaigns in the United States of America have been characterized by changes from the time the country gained independence to the present. Most of the changes and revolutions in the campaigns are oriented to the nature of the population of the United States, in that there are many races living in the same country. Some of the times in the history, the campaigns were characterized with racism, with some states passing rules that did not allow the African-Americans to vote. This essay aims at looking at the four campaign eras in America and how they affected the present.
The period of1788 to 1824 is an era that was referred the pre-democratic campaigns, and it was the first campaign era. This is a political period that was characterized by a few campaigns. It lacked seriousness in campaigning, and it did not also have competitions. The reason is that, assumptions were made that, Washington would automatically become president. Some other portion of the population thought that the vice president would succeed as president. In addition, the Electoral College who were mandated with choosing the president was not elected by the citizens but by the representatives. This era inspired the present in that, the candidates did not participate in the campaigns; the people saw the need for the vying candidates to express themselves in the campaigns.
The second campaign era, which was 1828 to 1892, was characterized by several changes. This is the time when the Electoral College was to be selected through a popular vote by the citizens from the states. Because of this, the candidates became more active in campaigns. Corruption started to characterize the political system because of promises of rewarding the political sycophants. The period was also characterized by revolution of the media to a more relevant media. The political parties became more powerful, and candidates could focus son their party membership rather than their qualifications. It influenced the present in that; people saw the sense of candidates being involved in campaigns to air their manifesto, and also the importance of the free media in airing campaigns.
The third political campaign era (1896-1948) was characterized by more activity in campaigns in the campaigns. It led to the establishment of the civil service in the year 1972, which ended the practice of rewarding party loyalists. Secrecy in voting was enhanced through the introduction of the Australian ballot. Party candidates could now be elected in the states rather than being selected by the parties. The influence of this era to the present is that people were empowered more into determining their leaders.
The fourth campaign era started at around 1952. Fundraisings were introduced in campaigns. Personality rather than party affiliations affected the elections to a great deal. Primary elections were given more importance and taken more seriously. Power balancing between the republicans and the democrats is the most significant change in the fourth era. At the present, dial groups and focus groups have been involved to investigate on the need in the ground before going to the people to campaign. Demographic growth in America is increasing at a very high rate. Minority groups are influencing elections and campaigns to a great deal. The present has witnessed an African American becoming the president of the USA. Ideological polarization has also been witnessed in most parts of the republic. The gap between the democratic sympathizers, and the republicans, has narrowed.
In conclusion, the American political campaigns have undergone radical changes since the 1800s. These changes have led to empowering the citizens of the USA. The present state of campaigns has developed courtesy of the changes that were embraced during the former campaign eras.
