SUCCESSFUL LEADERHIP
Instructions:
From the list below, choose a contemporary leader. Using appropriate theories, approaches and models, critically evaluate and analyse the leadership of this leader. If you were this leader, what would you do to make a stronger impact on your followers and situations?
Your discussion should do the following:
provide a clear, short description of the leader you’ve chosen
Evaluate your choice of leader with reference to theories, approaches, models, concepts covered in the module
Discuss how you would provide different leadership in the same situations as the leader you chose.
You should clearly follow instructions for the assignment – these are in three parts: a description, an evaluation and an application. The work needed be separated into three sections as such, but all components must be evident.
The leaders were chosen from the Fortune list of the world’s Top 50 leaders of 2018 – short descriptions of them are on the website if you are unfamiliar with them.
