In an 10-12 page paper, explore the leader within. What would you do as a leader based on one of the case studies from Jeanne Holme Center of the Leadership Development Center of the United States Air and Space Forces located at https://www3.nd.edu/~jthomp19/AS300/2_Spring%20Semester/Leadership_and_Management_Case_Studies/Leadership_Management_Case_Studies_V2.pdf (also see handouts in Getting Started>Course Resources) . Leading can be a difficult task. It is hard to know what other leaders are thinking, what is important to them, and how they do it day in and day out.
First: Summarize the case.
Second: In addition, evaluate your own personal leadership characteristics by taking the following assessment instrument at http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/leader/survlead.html. The survey is designed to provide you with feedback about your level of preference or comfort with leadership characteristics and skills.
Third: Apply your leadership to the case. Choose appropriate leadership courses of action.
Fourth: Justify your leadership choices with the literature. In your analysis and evaluation, note what your strengths are and areas for development. Your leadership paper should synthesize OB theories and concepts learned throughout the term demonstrating your ability to apply to real-world scenarios.
