Assignment: Types of Leadership
There are various types of leadership roles in an organization. They extend from the executive leadership role to the project leader. Each has different sets of responsibilities to the organization and each leadership role utilizes skill sets that require influencing people to move the business towards the vision. This week's theme focuses on those levels that are most visible to the students either because they are seen from afar as being on the top or because they seek to become involved personally: executive, managerial, and team leaders.
In completing the following learning activity, students will examine the role of each leadership type and the skill sets associated with them.
