Assignment

Using relevant theories and models critically evaluate and analyse the leadership of a 21st century business leader. If you were in the position of the leader, what could you do to be a better leader and make a stronger impact on the followers and on situation/s? For this assignment you can select a leader from a large or a small organisation. It could be a CEO of an international organisation whom you have read about in the newspapers/biographies, or a family member who runs a small business with a few staff members. The choice of leader is yours. In your assignment you should cover the following: - A clear description of the leader, the organisation/industry, and situation(s)/context(s); - An evaluation of the leader by referring to concepts and theories covered in the Leadership Management subject (e.g. style, behaviour, traits, attitudes, power) and by referring to relevant examples and mini-cases in the textbooks, - A discussion of how you would lead differently if you were put in the same situation/s as the leader and how you could make a stronger impact on the followers and on the situation/s. Please remember that pure description and paraphrasing is not sufficient. A good assignment will clearly take an ANALYTICAL approach and will demonstrate application of leadership concepts/theories. NOTE: a. citations (or in-text references) of quoted and paraphrased materials to support your arguments/comments, and b. a reference list relating specifically to your in-text references. The total number of words should not exceed 2500 words.
