Select a leader to profile in your written report. You may select one you admire, or a “good example of a bad example.” There are numerous websites naming leaders to get you started. A quick search on “famous contemporary leaders” will reveal hundreds of possibilities.

Research your chosen leader, identifying evidence of his/her traits, styles, and leadership situations. Relate your analysis to the textbook concepts. For example, when you examine your leader’s drive, describe what the term means in the context of leadership and how your leader demonstrates it (this does not mean regurgitate the textbook’s definition of the term). Include examples (and direct quotes from the leader where applicable).

Write an essay profiling your chosen leader. Your paper must include all three of the parts below.

First, introduce your leader, and state why you selected him/her. Was their leadership effective or not effective?

Next, discuss your leader’s 1) traits, 2) motives, and 3) characteristics as well as his/her 4) behaviors, 5) attitudes, and 6) leadership style(s). Provide examples (and direct quotes from your leader where applicable)
