I. INTRODUCTION

As we know, men are considered to be more powerful and have morepotential to become leaders in comparison with women. On the other hand,women seem to be on the weaker side and are more likely to stay at home to behousewives. However, throughout human history, there have been women whostepped out of the norm, broke the social stereotypes, and proved that they arestrong and talented as well. These women have shown that they can be greatleaders and their names have resounded throughout centuries. So who are they?And how can they do that? Elizabeth II is a true testament to that.

simply, enthusiastically, and in a caring way.

A leader focuses on both the vision of the future and the possibilities andthe hard realities of the present and the lessons learned of the past, a person whoinspires others, someone who is a walking symbol of humility.

A notable example is Queen Elizabeth II, who, throughout her long reign,exemplified steadfast leadership, dedication to duty, and an unwaveringcommitment to her nation, earning respect and admiration worldwide.

2.2. A famous female leader: Queen Elizabeth II2.2.1. Life

Elizabeth II was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealthrealms from 1952 until she died in 2022. She is the longest of any Britishmonarch or female monarch and the second-longest verified reign of any monarchof a sovereign state in history.

Elizabeth was born in 1926 in Mayfair, London, during the reign of herpaternal grandfather, King George V. She was the first child of the Duke andDuchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother).Her father acceded to the throne in 1936 upon the abdication of his brotherEdward VIII, making the ten-year-old Princess Elizabeth the heir presumptive.

She was educated privately at home and began to undertake public dutiesduring the Second World War, serving in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. QueenElizabeth II's education was meticulously designed to prepare her for her futureresponsibilities as a monarch. She was educated at home with her sister PrincessMargaret under the supervision of their mother, Queen Elizabeth (the QueenMother), and their governess, Marion Crawford. Her curriculum included a broadrange of subjects such as history, language, literature, and mathematics, providing

8

</div>Trang 9<div class="page_container" data-page="9">

a strong academic foundation. Henry Marten, Vice-Provost of Eton College,taught her constitutional history and law, crucial for her future role.

Elizabeth also became fluent in French, a skill that proved invaluable in herdiplomatic duties. Her moral and religious education was overseen by theArchbishop of Canterbury, reinforcing the values and ethics essential for her role.Additionally, she learned practical skills like horseback riding, swimming, anddancing, which contributed to her personal development.

During World War II, Elizabeth joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service,where she trained as a driver and mechanic, gaining hands-on experience and adeeper understanding of the challenges faced by ordinary citizens. This period ofher education not only equipped her with practical skills but also helped herconnect with the broader populace. Furthermore, as she matured, she receivedextensive briefings on the workings of the British government and theCommonwealth, preparing her comprehensively for her future duties as Queen.

In November 1947, she married Philip Mountbatten, a former prince ofGreece and Denmark, and their marriage lasted 73 years until he died in 2021.They had four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward.

When her father died in February 1952, Elizabeth – then 25 – becamequeen of seven independent Commonwealth countries. Elizabeth reigned as aconstitutional monarch through major political changes such as the Troubles inNorthern Ireland, devolution in the United Kingdom, et cetera

Although she faced occasional republican sentiment and media criticism ofher family – particularly after the breakdowns of her children’s marriages –support for the monarchy in the United Kingdom remained consistently highthroughout her lifetime, as did her popularity. Elizabeth died in 2022 at the age of96 at Balmoral Castle and was succeeded by her eldest son, Charles III.

2.2.2. Achievement

During her over 70-year reign, Queen Elizabeth II of England left behindmany achievements and marks. The first notable achievement that can bementioned with a strong historical imprint is that she is the longest-reigningmonarch in the history of the British royal family. During her reign, since 1952,she had traveled to over 100 countries and territories - the most of any Britishmonarch. Up to the present day, it can be said that the Queen saved the monarchy,maintaining the influence of the United Kingdom even when the colonial era hadclosed in the country where "the sun never sets".

According to the Washington Post, she actively worked to get theCommonwealth to condemn racial discrimination in South Africa but wasopposed by the government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The Queen alsosupports the Black Lives Matter movement, while the royal family is accused ofracial discrimination, related to the royal couple of Sussex Harry - and Meghan.Moreover, Elizabeth II is also one of the most actively involved in charity work.According to The Guardian, the Queen is more charitable than any other monarchin history. Personally, she supports over 600 charitable organizations, out of a

10

</div>Trang 11<div class="page_container" data-page="11">

total of 3000 organizations worldwide that all members of the royal familysupport2.

Besides, Queen Elizabeth II was also recognized by the people in thecountry as a symbol of stability. She delivered speeches at times when the countryneeded her the most: from the crisis in 1956 to the terrorist attack in 2005 inLondon and even during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Furthermore, for many people, the Queen is also a symbol of reconciliation.Her historic visit to the Republic of Ireland in May 2011 was a breakthrough. Itwas the first visit by a British monarch in 100 years and was seen as a significantsymbolic gesture to normalize relations between Ireland and the United Kingdomafter the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.

Finally, Elizabeth II had achieved to promote and maintained therelationships of the Commonwealth, which included 54 member countries at theend of her reign. She was the 14 – kingdom's head of state; hundreds of millionsof people saw her as a leader. In 1953, despite having no real political power, herdiplomatic skills helped settle the peaceful transfer of independence for 32countries and territories, including Hong Kong and South Africa. For 70 years,Elizabeth II has visited 25 countries in Africa (out of nearly 130 countries),continuously strengthening her country's relationships with African countriesbelonging to the Commonwealth.

</div>Trang 12<div class="page_container" data-page="12">

Not only having influence domestically, but Elizabeth II also has influenceglobally in the fields of politics and diplomacy. She had traveled and met withmany political and religious figures around the world more than any otherinternational leader in the 20th century. Therefore, when the Queen passed away,many heads of state carried out actions of condolences and remembrance, whilealso comforting and inspiring the nation of England after the state funeral.

The departure of Elizabeth II marks the end of the longest reign of theBritish royal family, raising the question of whether the successor, King CharlesIII, will continue to uphold the presence of the British monarchy and the existenceof the Commonwealth, similar to how the Queen has done. Appointed as heir tothe throne at the age of 3 but crowned at the age of 73, Le Monde suggests thatthis is perhaps the "tragic" fate of an elderly king because his reign will be much

</div>Trang 13<div class="page_container" data-page="13">

shorter than that of his mother. The new king is unlikely to gain the affection andattention of the public as much as the late Queen.

2.3. Qualities worth learning from her

While learning about Queen Elizabeth's life and achievements, there wasone habit she had that many young people today need to learn: the habit ofsaving. Despite her immense fortune, Queen Elizabeth is recognized for herfrugal and environmentally responsible lifestyle. According to Kate Williams,Queen Elizabeth II's biographer, the Queen always keeps wrapping paper andribbon after Christmas3. Not only that, but she reused bed linens as mattresscoverings and prefers useful gifts like a kettle or iron over luxury items. Thus,it is clear that the Queen of England is a very frugal and simple person.

Young people today, while they do not inherit enormous fortunes likethe Queen of England, practically all of us tend to spend excessively. I am thesame; I spend the majority of the money my parents give me each month onfood and online shopping. Sometimes I spend so much money that I don't haveto have a bean to rub together. As a result, we need to reconsider our lifestylechoices, and the Queen of England will be a good example for us to follow. Toteach ourselves the habit of saving, we must first build a spending tracker todetermine what we spend our money on and whether it is a waste. Then weneed to know how to make a list of the things that are necessary for us so that

13

</div>Trang 14<div class="page_container" data-page="14">

we don't have to waste money on unnecessary products. Finally, attempt tosave some money each month to invest in a larger plan for the future or in caseof emergency.

Aside from saving habits, we can certainly benefit from the Queen ofEngland's leadership abilities. As previously stated, When her father died inFebruary 1952, Elizabeth – then 25 years old – became queen of sevenindependent Commonwealth countries4. Despite having to take on a new dutyat such a young age, Queen Elizabeth II did not complain and overcame manyobstacles and disappointments during her 70-year reign to win everyone's loveand admiration. Not only the British people but the entire planet. And, givenher influence and accomplishments, we might conclude that the Queen ofEngland has had a highly successful term.

Leadership abilities are becoming one of the most important skills forour youth to learn and practice for themselves. Queen Elizabeth is one of manyrole models who have taught me vital lessons about leadership. First, shetaught me that I needed to know how to communicate my intentions. When wewant to be strong leaders, we must first define our own and the community'sgoals, from which we may lead others expertly and effectively. Second, alwaysbe nice, and approachable, and listen to others' opinions. Because if we want toachieve a task, we cannot do so alone and need assistance from others. A

competent leader must always listen to others' perspectives and welcomecontributions from all parties to finish the work in the most comprehensivemanner possible.

III. CONCLUSION:

Gender has never been considered when judging a person's leadershipabilities. Queen Elizabeth II is the clearest example of this. After seven decades ofreign, the British people hold Queen Elizabeth II in high regard for herunwavering commitment and quiet leadership in establishing stability andstrength for England. She carried out her duties with caution, honor, and infiniteresponsibility. Because of this, her death caused great sorrow in the hearts ofpeople everywhere, not just in Britain.
