Reference no: EM133212110

Question: Consider the key leaders who have influenced you in your career and/or life. You may have worked with them directly or not at all (i.e. they may be famous business, military, political, religious, etc., leaders -- as long as you know enough about his/her leadership style to answer the below questions). Now select just ONE to focus on for this assignment.
**Use the readings from this week to ensure you are selecting a LEADER vs. a MANAGER.**

For your selected leader, identify which of the leadership theories covered in this week's lectures is the 'best fit' for this leader. In other words, consider his/her leadership approach and determine whether it best represents the Trait approach, the Behavioral/Skill approaches, the Contingency/Situational approaches, or the Transformational approach.

Identify the leader and his/her primary approach, then explain what brings you to this conclusion (provide your rationale... be sure to tie your rationale to the readings and lectures to explain why they are a leader vs. manager, and to justify the theory you selected).

Next, identify what you believe are his/her key strengths and challenges, and briefly how you see these factors (positive and negative) impacting his/her leadership effectiveness (i.e. their ability to provide vision/direction and influence others to commit to and achieve specific goals - a.k.a. Kotter's definition of leadership).
