• Develop a profile of this individual that can be submitted to a company's newsletter.

• Identify the individual, their position within the company, and briefly describe the organization.

• Interpret the individual's leadership based on the Five-Factor personality model and offer one or more examples of the management and leadership roles of this individual.

• Explain one incident where this individual had to solve a difficult problem or situation because things did not go as planned. What lessons did she/he learn from being able to problem-solve even when what she/he had been taught did not work.

Format your profile consistent with the newsletter template provided.
