You will put together a project that illustrates qualities/behaviors/decisions, etc. that illustrate the individual's role as a leader. In order to do this, you will need to find articles, stories, papers or watch whatever you can on the leader. You may find newspaper and magazine articles, stories on the internet or television and radio stations, or information published by the company/organization that the leader heads if it is a current leader. (Anything you read or use should be referenced in your written project on the leader- you will include the proper reference in the reference page at the end of your project).
