leadership style of Macbeth and Beowulf

Macbeths and beowulf's leadership styles  

Many people have different styles of being a leader. When it comes to being a leader you have to have certain qualities. Some people have good leadership but some people don’t. As in Macbeth and Beowulf, they both had extremely different leadership styles. One was awful leader while the other was wonderful leader.
Macbeth has not a good leader. He was hated by many people and even his own people hated him. Macbeth only thought about his self ever since the witches told him about his future. He wanted to make his prophecy’s come true and he did at some point by killing all the people who he thought might get in his way. Macbeth started going crazy and not even thing about the protection of the people he should be protecting. He was a selfish leader and just wanted to keep his place as a king.
Beowulf on the other hand was a good, brave and passionate leader. He was trustworthy person always there for anyone. In the story when Beowulf when back to Sweden and he heard that the king in Demark was in trouble again he came back to help the king Hrothger and his people. Beowulf really wasn't looking to be a king; he just wanted to be remembered as a grate hero who will live forever. Also in the film Beowulf was brave enough to face his own son to protect his people. At the end he did feel awful for killing his son but it was his destiny to protect his people no matter who he was killing.
Therefore both Macbeth and Beowulf have different style s of leadership. Macbeth didn't care about anyone but himself. He turned evil and to a careless and impatient person that just wanted to his future in a snap of a finger. Now Beowulf he was the opposite of Macbeth. Beowulf in the story was a type of leader who always kept his word. Beowulf was a brave and respectful and with a lot of pride of being a hero. Both Macbeth and Beowulf died at the end of the story but Macbeth died for being a selfish king and Beowulf for having a lot of pride and courage.
To my conclusion it depends what kind of person you are to determine what kind of leader you’re going to be. Some people have good styles and some simple have bad styles like in Macbeth and Beowulf. Two different personally two different type of leaderships.
