Assignment Instructions
Great leaders build trust and credibility with words and deeds that prove, in ways large and small, that they respect and honor their followers. Every profession and occupation has its great leaders, figures, and heroes. Think of people who create or transform major companies. Some political leaders are reshaping society. Some police officers or firefighters risk their lives to save others. We think of them as role models, and we celebrate their accomplishments. In many ways, they represent what we think of as the true model of leadership. Does one have to be in the spotlight to be a leader? Most leaders are rarely public heroes and move patiently, carefully, and incrementally to get things done. They do what is right for their organization.
Think about a leader that you think is a great leader. Your assignment should be 3- to 4-pages in length excluding title, figures, tables, and reference pages, and it should be in the current APA format. Include why you think the leader you chose is a great leader and what attributes the leader applies to lead others. Your evaluation should include how the attributes were obtained and how the leader uses the attributes in different situations.
- Apply principles and practices of effective leadership
- Evaluate how leaders use attributes to improve organizations
