Assignment: Using Leadership to Improve Ethical Performance

At this point, you should have identified the leader you would like to interview. You should also have already contacted him / her and have scheduled an interview time / date.

Write a three to four page paper in which you:

1. Create five to seven questions to ask your chosen leader to determine his / her views of motivation, ethical leadership and performance. Then, conduct the interview based on your selected questions.

HINT: You should summarize the answers that you gathered in your interview. Thereafter, you should compare and contrast his / her point of view about leadership with your own perception of it.
