MGMT 425 Leader in the News Final Project

From your Syllabus: As you read the Wall Street Journal this semester take note of

a business leader you find particularly interesting. Midway through the semester

you must identify a first, second and third choice leader to analyze in more depth

as your final paper in this class. For this individual you will be applying the

frameworks learn in the class to their handling of organizational situations and

analyzing their effectiveness. Detailed instructions for the paper will be posted on

the course web site. Your “choice memo” is worth 10 grading points. The final

paper is worth 80 grading points, and is in lieu of a final in the course.

Final Paper Requirements:

Section 1: Summary of the leader’s current and previous positions and

career highlights.

Use the Wall Street Journal articles you have found about your leader as the start

of your research on this individual. Using the library databases find at least 4 other

articles or good sources of information about your leader and his/her background

and career. Articles should be from credible business press or newspaper sources

(not blogs!). Company web sites are allowable sources. Your final list of sources

should be 5-7 credible sources all cited correctly and in APA format (meaning

citations within your paper and the reference list at the end).

Based on your research/sources, write a description of your leader’s career

highlights and current position. Length and depth guideline is 3-4 well developed

paragraphs.

10 points available

Section 2: Summary of the leader’s traits, behaviors and style.

Using the sources you have compiled describe (using examples from the

background articles) and simultaneously analyze (using theories and models from

your text), the individual characteristics of your leader. What behaviors and traits

do they display? What leadership style or styles do his/her behaviors and actions

demonstrate? This section should also be 3-4 well developed paragraphs.

15 points available

Section 3: Summary of the organizational circumstances that led this

leader to be in the news

Compile a timeline of the organizational circumstances that led to your leader being

in the news. Try not to quote the actual articles but paraphrase in your own words

what the dynamics of the situation were. Be sure to include enough description so

that the organizational stakeholders, context and your leader’s actions are well

described. This section can either be a bulleted list of events or in paragraph form.

Length and depth guideline is 6-8 well developed paragraphs or bullets. Include

citations where necessary.

15 points available

Using the leader, follower, situation framework we have been studying all semester

versa). This section should be 4-6 well developed paragraphs.
