Assessment Description
This assessment builds on the previous Assessment 1, which compares classical theories of leadership to more contemporary theories of leadership in the post-pandemic, digital, data, and AI era. For this assessment, students are required to choose and research a contemporary business leader (2023 - 2025) whom they believe to be an outstandingly good and/or effective leader, and therefore a suitable role model to guide the student's own leadership development and future career path.

This assessment addresses the following learning outcomes:
Learning outcome 1: Explore the advantages and disadvantages of various contemporary leadership styles.
Learning outcome 2: Analyse the traits and behaviours of contemporary leaders.
Learning outcome 3: Explain the key functions of leaders and managers in a contemporary organisation.
