Answer:

Mark Twain's observations in his writings made him an undisputed, and for many insurmountable, master of the art of irony.

With a popular and humorous style, Mark Twain contrasts in his works the idealized world of childhood, innocent and at the same time rogue, with a disenchanted conception of the adult man. In his later works, however, the sense of humor gives way to pessimism and bitterness expressed with irony and sarcasm.

Explanation:

<u>Some examples of his ironic style are the following: </u>

"It is stated that German wine is distinguished from vinegar solely by label."

"The new fashion philosophers declare that it is urgent to buy land because it is no longer being manufactured and it is very necessary."

"The new thinkers pose the great need of women for humans because without them there would be very few inhabitants of the earth."

"I, Mark Twain, assure you that if you ban me from smoking in heaven I will retire from there."

 

"I think if you could cross the human with the cat, it would improve while the human would decay."

"Building walls around a cemetery is a useless expense because those who are inside do not want to leave and those who are outside do not want to enter."

 

"When I die, I will choose paradise for the weather and hell for good company."

How is the "inborn talents" model similar to and different from the "new picture"?
katrin2010 [14]

Similarities and difference between "inborn talents" from the "new picture" is given below.

Explanation:

“In the past, leadership scholars considered charisma, intelligence and other personality traits to be the key to effective leadership. Accordingly, these academics thought that good leaders use their inborn talents to dominate followers and tell them what to do, with the goal either of injecting them with enthusiasm and willpower that they would otherwise lack or of enforcing compliance.

“In recent years, however, a new picture of leadership has emerged, one that better accounts for leadership performance. In this alternative view, effective leaders must work to understand the values and opinions of their followers—rather than assuming absolute authority—to enable a productive dialogue with followers about what the group embodies and stands for and thus how it should act. By leadership, we mean the ability to shape what followers actually want to do, not the act of enforcing compliance using rewards and punishments.

Leadership effectiveness is the product of individual ability to be the architect of culture, to understand the values and attitudes of followers (who may be colleagues as well as direct reports), and to inspire the contributions, cooperation and mutual support of the people around the would-be leader.

According to this new approach, no fixed set of personality traits can assure good leadership because the most desirable traits depend on the nature of the group being led and the context at hand.
