Leading the world as an innovative enterpriser by means of creative solutions and unbiased decision-making, Angela Merkel is an astonishingly significant leader in today’s society. The youngest and first female Chancellor of Germany since its reformation in 1871, Merkel is also noted for being president of the European council, and a prominent figure in the scientific community as a quantum physicist. In displaying incredible empathy for the citizens of Germany while simultaneously maintaining her overall integrity, she has also proven dependable and unprejudiced over the breadth of her career notwithstanding the many hardships encountered over the last century. Currently ranked as number one of the “Top 100 Most Powerful Women in the World” by Forbes magazine, Angela Merkel’s global impact is entirely irrefutable.

Born into a religious family in Hamburg, Germany on July 17, 1954, Merkel grew up in a rural area with her father, a Lutheran pastor, and her mother, a teacher. She studied physics at the University of Leipzig where she received her doctorates degree and then later worked at the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences. When the Berlin Wall fell in ’89, and Germany officially reunited, Merkel chose to join the Christian Democratic Party (CDU), a “male-dominated, socially conservative party with deep Catholic Roots.” Following Helmut Kohl’s defeat in 1998, Merkel was appointed to Secretary-General of the CDU. Then just two years later, she was appointed party-leader and ran for Chancellor in 2002. Although losing the race, she ran once more in 2005, narrowly beating Gerhard SchrÖder by merely three seats. Angela Merkel is indeed a woman of initiative, becoming the only female Chancellor in German history, the youngest leader since becoming a modern nation-state, the first born since the conclusion of the Second World War, the first from Eastern Germany, and the first with a history in natural sciences as opposed to law and business.

Now as with any person, certain qualities are essential in making them successful leaders. Innovation, resourcefulness, and ingenuity are all crucial along with the capability to look beyond the societal margin. Merkel demonstrated these abilities by pursuing a vocation previously misconceived as unavailable to any woman. Even today, she continues to radiate inventiveness by means of pioneering political objectives, such as expanding horizons on health care reforms and battling critics against ideals involving unemployment rates and business hours of operation. With this, she incorporates empathetic decision making by considering the people before herself or her party. Furthermore, ruling from an unprejudiced point of view is a crucial trait to being an extraordinary leader. In addition, her integrity has remained exceedingly consistent, which contributes to the heartfelt affection expressed for her nationwide. Honesty and dependability both go hand in hand with one another and, therefore, combine to make her one of the most remarkable leaders in today’s society. Despite the international boundaries partitioning the diverse communities in our world, it is clear that a person’s influence does not always cease to exist at the borders of one’s country.
