Which is the more effective leadership speech between Richmond and Richard and why?
From my point of view, Richard’s speech on his army was more effective than Richmond’s. The reason why I chose speech of Richard is his speech was firmer than Richmond’s. Richmond said that “Even if we will not win in this war, you guys will not lose anything else but my corpse.” I can say that it was rather blend compare to Richard’s speech. Speech of Richard was “There will be nothing, unless you win the war.” To increase morale of the soldiers, having speech with bitter words is more effective. Many people may say that it makes people lose their reason and it is true. However to defeat enemy soldiers must be a brutal soldiers otherwise, they will not only lose their country or territories but also their lives and even families. To survive in the war, soldiers must have firm faith with one thinking that they must win in this war so that they will be able to take care of their families or people who they love and achieve what they aimed. Moreover, if I hear Richard’s speech I desperately want to win the war and go home but Richmond’s speech was vague because though my army is defeated by enemies, I will not lose anything so it does not matter that we win the war or not. Therefore, I do not really need to kill many people to win the war.
