This assignment gives the opportunity to develop research skills and learn about a historical leader
whose theories are currently relevant. To spur your thinking, a list of leaders and their theories can be reviewed at https://www.industryleadersmagazine.com/leadership-and-10-great-leaders-from-history/Links to an external site.
In writing your paper, you will:
Include a brief background (one paragraph ideally, two paragraphs maximum) introducing your subject, including the era in which he/she lived and challenge/s he/she addressed.
Identify the leadership theory/theories your subject employed and the ways in which those theories were exhibited.
Include the relevance of his/her ideas in this current era – are there challenges your subject could similarly address today using his/her same tactics?
Analyze and reflect on society’s current situations and your own personal values and ethics in drawing assumptions of the usefulness of your selected historical leader’s theory.
APA usage is required, including proper citations, a title page, references page, running
head, and page numbers. An abstract is not required.
Students are required to cite at least three references (you can certainly use more). One reference can be one of the reading requirements for the modules and two or more additional references will be resources you find, preferably peer-reviewed resources.
