Leadership comes in all forms.
Leadership is required for victory
Leadership means nothing without resources.
Again and again the Romans were defeated, till it almost
seemed as if the Britons really would succeed in driving
them out of the country. Boadicea herself led the soldiers,
encouraging them with her brave words. "It is better to
die with honor than to live in slavery," she said. "I am a
woman, but I would rather die than yield. Will you follow
me, men?" and of course the men followed her gladly,
At last the Roman leader was so downcast with his many
defeats that he went himself to the British camp, bearing
in his hand a green branch as a sign of peace. When
Boadicea was told that an ambassador from the Romans
wished to speak to her, she replied proudly, "My sword
alone shall speak to the Romans." And when the Roman
leader asked for peace, she answered, "You shall have
peace, peace, but no submission. A British heart will
choose death rather than lose liberty. There can be peace
only if you promise to leave the country."

What’s the answer ?

Leadership comes in all forms.

Explanation:

    In the passage, Boadicea is depicted as a brave leader who motivates her army to be brave and fearless. She is dedicated not to surrender and lose the battle. Even though she is in advantage, she does not stop, she continues to motivate her army and not to give up on her goal and intentions. At this time of war, Rome condemns and restricts women from their rights. She is a wise leader and she replies to Roman's proposal to emphasize the British fight for liberty. Her role is quite important because she proves all prejudice discrimination. She is a strong woman who led her army to victory.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
