In your paper, go beyond recitation of memorized facts or regurgitation of information; strive to synthesize the most important topics of management (i.e., leadership, personality, motivation, decision making, communication, and the importance of good management to yourself and to society) into a hybrid research and reflection paper.

-Discuss the leadership precepts your interviewee imparted to you (or what can you glean on the topic as a result of your interview).

-Describe how the leadership precepts dovetail with one or more of the modern theories of leadership.

-Explain how the personalities of workers, colleagues, managers, and subordinates impact your performance in, and experience of, the workplace.

-Explain how the personalities of workers, colleagues, managers, and subordinates interact with one or more leadership models to create the most effective work environment.

-Describe one or two tenets of motivation theory have you taken away from the course, in light of your interview, the leadership model(s) you have discussed, and your own personality.

-Discuss how your understandings of motivation theories impact your conceptions of the best practices when it comes to making decisions and communicating at work. Based on your interview and on learning from this course, summarize what it takes to be an effective employee, a successful manager, and an exemplary citizen of society.
