Assignment Help Other Subject
Reference no: EM13941755

Using relevant theories and models critically evaluate and analyse the leadership of a 21st century business leader (must be an Australian or American 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 subject (e.g. style, behaviour, traits, attitudes, power) and by referring to relevant examples and mini-cases in the textbook (where appropriate) and the (topic notes and readings attached);
  • 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.
