“Nobel prizes aside, John Bardeen was one of the most decorated and influential scientists of his time. He was a fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1954 and was awarded the Buckley Prize of the American Physical Society in 1955 and the Fritz London Award for work in low-temperature physics in 1962.” |
John Bardeen was shown to be a leader in various ways.
Firstly he was one of the inventors of the transistor. This tool proved to be the leader of the future innovations and technologies to come. This tool caused a revolution. Now electronics could be miniaturized. This was a breakthrough making Bardeen one of the causes of the Information Age we live in today. |

Following that, Bardeen also created the Theory of Superconductivity which itself resulted in various creations including medical advancements. Along with the transistor, these discoveries lead to a variety of new innovations. The world benefited from the leadership of Bardeen.
Even within the small collaborations he participated in, he took charge of the project. When Shockley wasn't focusing upon the transistor, Bardeen took it into his own hands showing his leadership skills and invented the first point-contact transistor. Following that Bardeen also help lead in creating the BCS Theory. |
He was the only person to win the Nobel Prize in Physics twice to this day. This leadership quality shows people
1) Science is a collaborative effort
2) Put your mind to anything to succeed.
After his discoveries, a rapid fire of other discoveries followed as the technological age began. He was a leader to the many who followed including even Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. He began the technological revolution this world was beginning to have. Soon there would be smart phones and laptops in the reach of every person.
He was one of the greatest leader the world had in physics.
