Certainly, I can provide a revised version of your GRE Issue essay with improved structure, language use, and clarity:
The discussion on what makes a good leader is far from trivial, as numerous researchers have endeavored to define the essence of leadership and the process of leadership development. Prominent figures like Socrates, in 1960, defined a leader as the highest-ranking individual in any community, one who possesses the power to shape or dismantle that community. Conversely, Nelson Mandela viewed a leader as a diligent follower within society, someone capable of effectively handling and executing tasks presented with fairness. These and many other definitions have undergone extensive scrutiny, highlighting the complexity of defining leadership.
The essay prompt asserts that successful leaders in our society are products of the challenges they confront. I strongly disagree with this assertion for two primary reasons.
Firstly, leaders are not molded in a single day. Leadership development is a gradual and multifaceted process, much like constructing a house that stands the test of time. Building such a house requires careful design, acquiring materials, laying a strong foundation, and incremental development. Similarly, leaders cannot be created solely through the demands and challenges they face. What happens when they are confronted with tasks that exceed their capacity or knowledge? The consequences could be detrimental, as history has shown. Consider the Second World War conflict between the USA and Japan in 1956. Just 24 hours after Japan's Commander Lin Ho ordered an attack on American soil, the USA's 5-star Major General Richard made the momentous decision to use an atomic weapon on Hiroshima, effectively neutralizing 90% of the Japanese army. One might argue that it was the immediate wartime demand that triggered this retaliation, but the development of the atomic bomb took years of research and preparation. The use of this weapon was not a hasty response to the situation but the result of a long and rigorous scientific process.
Secondly, the adage "one man cannot make a forest" aptly illustrates the importance of collaboration and collective efforts in leadership. Leaders need the support and insights of others to evolve, confront challenges, and devise effective solutions. Consider the case of Prof. John, the 2023 Nobel Prize winner in medicine. His fascination with molecular science emerged during his time in Australia, where he completed his undergraduate and master's studies. Later, he pursued his PhD at Penn State University. Although many assume his groundbreaking research took place at Penn State, an interview with BBC News suggests that his interest was cultivated during his time in Australia, where he worked closely with his undergraduate thesis supervisor. Their collaborative approach led to the groundbreaking discoveries for which they both received recognition. This example underscores the significance of the connections formed over time in the execution of tasks.
In conclusion, while one might argue that the strict measures taken by the USA government during the COVID-19 pandemic were driven by the immediate demands of the situation, it's crucial to recognize that the materials and strategies employed were not created overnight. For instance, N95 masks were developed over a span of 15 years through numerous experiments before they became a widely used tool in 2015. The same principle applies to leadership development; it is a journey that requires time, determination, and a multitude of experiences.
In essence, a successful and effective leader cannot be shaped solely by the immediate demands they face; rather, leadership is a product of years of preparation, collaboration, and gradual development.
