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 journal called, The Colour of Discipline

Affiliated School;
A journal called, The Colour of Discipline: Sources of Racial and Gender Disproportionality In School Punishment, by Russell J. Skiba, Robert S. Michael, Abra Carroll Nardo, and Reece L. Peterson, focuses on the level of stereotype and racial discrimination in schools. According to the journal the minority group in America is ever on the losing end of the schooling system. This is because they are usually viewed with a certain stereotype that white students are not viewed with. The male gender is also on the losing side because girls are perceived to be naturally calm people and when they are involved in some wrong activity they are given second and third chances but the boys are not.
The main reason for the punishment discrimination is because most of the students from the minority race are socio economically not well off. This means the schools offers them free lunch and even caters for part of their tuition fee, in a nutshell they are a liability to the school and when they commit a mistake they are easily suspended or expelled from schools (Costenbader, 1994). Children whose parents do not have a full time job are discriminated against as compared to children whose parents have full time jobs. Blacks and Latinos are viewed as very violent and when they are in a group of friends they are referred to as a gang, this means a small incidence they are the first suspects and if they were in the least involved they would face severe punishment that if it were a group of white boys the case would have been different.
According to the Children Defence Fund, 1995, an African-American male has sixteen times more likely to be accused of a crime he didn’t commit as opposed to a white female. The chances of girls being reported to the disciplinary committee of a school are five times lower than that of boys. Teachers find it easy to deal with girls than with boys. The entire issue of there being discrimination in terms of gender and race in school punishment is not a foreign concept as data on the same has existed ever since 1975, however the civil rights office and office of the secretary for education choose to turn a deaf ear to it. In doing so, they encourage the mistreatment of bys from minority groups in schools. This increases the level of school drop outs that end up in the streets involved in illegal dealings as they make the ends meet. This kind of discrimination encourages the stereotypes that education tries to work against. In real sense the education system is fighting against education itself.
Racial discrimination at school encourages the hatred between children based on their racial differences. When teachers show that it is right to punish someone more severe based on their race, it makes the person to hate school and this leads to poor performances in schools by the minority (Costenbader, 1994). A school should be a place where equality is the foundations of all actions. This is because it is where most children most things that they later on come to apply in life. One should not be discriminated based on their race, gender and socio-economic status. The law should be an equalizing tool to ensure that discrimination of any sort is not encouraged in schools. This can be implemented by the office of the secretary of education.

The history topic I selected to research about is the battle of fallen timbers that is in the Native American history category. The battle of fallen timbers was a battle that showed and proved to people that delicate young republic is capable of countering a military threat when Shawnee Chief Blue Jacket’s alliance was defeated by General Anthony Wayne (Bauman 2010). The battle of the fallen timbers took place in the 1794 on 20th August, this battle was the last major in the Northwest Territory that was an Indian war between the United States and the Native Americans. During the war the almost modern day Toledo, Ohio the General Anthony Wayne steered the Unites States troops and gained victory over the alliance of Indian warriors that were led by the Miami’s Chief Little Turtle and the Shawnees’ Chief Blue Jacket. The modern day Ohio was open to the white settlers as a result of the treaty of Greenville that was signed in the following year (Tebbel 1972). The Native Americans victory could also be attributed from the support that they got from the British whose leader was Captain Alexander McKillop against the United States. The battle was mainly about gaining control over the Northwest Territory which had been handed to the United States during the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
