Individual Assignment

This individual assignment will take the form of a paper of a minimum of 1250 words and a maximum of 1500 words (not including bibliography, references, and cover sheet), which identifies a specific leader (can be political, business or religious; alive or dead) and analyses of his or her style in terms that link with the materials covered in the course.

This individual paper should particularly address leadership styles, including a comparative analysis of transactional vs. transformational characteristics, and information on your chosen leader's tendency to use manipulation vs. inspiration, motivational style, etc. You may also wish to use some of the basic principles of Emotional Intelligence to inform your analysis.

You have a free choice of leader, but it is important that you choose someone of either historical or business significance who has had or does have a meaningful public profile. This will make it easier to find materials to support and reference your assertions and analysis in the submitted paper, and will also allow us to grade your paper based on accessible materials and sources.

You are also encouraged to reach outside of materials covered specifically within the AD643 class. The BU library systems and databases contain a wealth of academic material related to leadership styles and characteristics, and you are encouraged to use those materials - where appropriate - to support your submission.

Your Submission should be no more than 1500 words, excluding bibliography, references, and cover sheet.
