leadership theories.
The study and analysis of leadership is a critical element of the Organizational Behaviour course. The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a past or present public leader using relevant leadership theories. The leader may be dead or alive – from any part of the globe.
You are required to choose a well-known public leader and assess their leadership style/strengths/weaknesses by applying two or more leadership theories identified in the course. You may assess the leader based on:
• Their actions (available to you through public record only)
• Their decision-making
• Their leadership style
• Their personality traits
• Their accomplishments/failures
• Their conflict management style
• Their ability to manage stress
• Any other relevant area
Apply the leadership theories covered in the course to describe the leader. You are asked to provide analysis, which means engaging in critical thought. Provide your opinion of the leader and use the leadership theories to support your position. This essay is about your ability to apply the theories presented to a real-life leader.
You must make recommendations (based on the theories) that would/could (would have/could have) helped the leader to be successful.
