What was Joans leadership style, communication skills, and management ability?
Joan’s style of management and leadership was hands-on. She led by example. She was always in the front lines, encouraging and guiding her troops. In contrast the normal way captains led their troops was to supervise their movement from the rear. Most of the time in battle, she carried her standard and was a non-combatant. She did not want to kill anyone. Her job was to lead, guide, and direct them. However once in the battle before Paris, she fought a Burgundian knight with her sword and captured him. After her death, the captains with whom she fought remembered her as an able leader with great skill in military tactics of a twenty year veteran. During her trial, she was able to hold her own against the learned, university graduate churchmen for five months.
