country. All topics must be approved by your teacher, and all students must choose a different person.

Answer Preview
Walt Disney would have become a more influential president than Warren G. Harding because of his accomplishment in the entertainment industry in the 20th Century. When evaluating Disney’s qualities and leadership traits, one could question the basis of leadership. In Disney’s case, it appears that leadership emerged from the intrinsic desire to prosper. In the 20th century, the entertainment industry utilized cartoons in newspapers and broadcast media (Coverly, 2013). Disney’s cartooning thrived in this era as he sought to compensate for unsuccessful efforts by his father.
