Answer 1

Elizabeth was a strong and capable woman, who proved to male-ruled England, that a woman can do a mans job. She was a kind and respectful woman, that never refused to give up. She defeated the Spanish Armada, and helped insitute the introduction of many sciences and arts. I also heard that she could throw a great party (one of her's I heard lasted a couple of days straight, where the guests actually sleep in her palace)

Answer 2

Queen Elizabeth I: An Ethical Leader

To possess ethical leadership is to maintain and utilize, to the best of your ability, those characteristics of principled leadership behaviors resulting from the proper balance of authority and the Cardinal Virtues. In order to have authority, a source of authority must obligate and motivate a group to follow. Leadership traits are what qualify a person to be a leader and have authority. Virtue "indicates the excellence of any thing," and is in itself a behavior of ethical thought that produces ethical acts. (Gleason) Authority, leadership traits, and virtues are what compose an ethical leader. Queen Elizabeth I was an ethical leader.

Answer 3

First of all, she was devoted to England. Keeping her country together and as peaceful as possible was important to her. She had definite goals and communicated those goals to her counselors. She picked the right people for the right jobs.

She was also intelligent, well-educated, charming, and witty. As a woman in that era, these were important qualities to have. She also, perhaps because of her childhood, could "read" people and knew that there may be more going on than what was on the surface.
