General Patton was a larger than life figure. He is what you call a character, right up there with John Wayne and Ted Williams with his ivory handled .33 to his pristine saber, to his relentless work habit. Personality wise, General Patton was self-confident, and humble. He had a sense of humor, showed enthusiasm, trustworthiness, and assertiveness. There was no room for error from his men. He came in and did his job to the fullest degree, and that is all he wanted in return from his men. Task related wise he was passionate, courageous, and emotionally intelligent. General Patton was one of those men if you looked up leader in the dictionary you would see his name mentioned. "An Army is a team; lives, sleeps, eats, fights as a team. This individual heroic stuff is a lot of crap." General Patton believed that without team work, there would be no victory.

General Patton went on to organize the American Tank School in Bourg, France. During battles, Patton would always be in the front line communicating with his troops in the rear by means of pigeons and runners. He was always exposed to gun fire and was shot in the leg while commanding his tanks. His actions during battle later earned him the Distinguished Service Cross for Heroism. After World War I, Patton graduated from the Command and General Staff School In 1924, and completed his military schooling as a graduate of the Army War College in 1932. General Patton was not also a leader but also a student. As he was leading his men into battle he was learning as well. (2) (3)
