Case study

    Project
    One of the best ways to study leadership is through case studies of individuals. You will choose one leader and write a 4-5 page review and analysis of the individuals accomplishments, leadership style and philosophy, leadership impact and career influences. This is not a book report, but a critical evaluation and synthesis of their accomplishments and struggles. You may choose an historical figure or a contemporary leader. You may gather this information from published works or from first-person interviews. In the paper, you must indicate how you gathered this information. Good case studies tell a story as well as analyzing and documenting. Think about how the individual probably experienced his/her own leadership as well as how those around the individual portrayed him/her. Was there drama in this story? Why did you find this person compelling enough to study? The assignment is expected to be a culminating work that demonstrates rigor and exceptional thinking. This assignment will allow you to explore the life of a leader who has demonstrated leadership strengths and skills.
    Your 4 to 5 page paper should include the following:
    A brief history of this persons life and the reason for choosing him/her.
    What the leader has accomplished in his/her lifetime
    What is his/her leadership style and philosophy
    What has been the impact of this persons leadership
    What are the specific strengths and skills you see in this leader
    What have you learned from this leaders life and how will what you have learned impact your own leadership
