Assignment: Ideal Leader

INTRODUCTION

Your picture of a leader has been influenced by observing other leaders. These leaders may have affected you directly, or they may be people you've never met, but they serve as a role model the kind of leader you want to be. Was it...

o a famous athlete who leads their team to victory?
o the leader of a successful business?
o a recognized national or international political leader?
o an historical figure who made a major difference?
o a coach or teacher who affected your life?
o someone in your family who made a real difference in your life?

This person will be different and unique for each of you, but they should embody the best of what you feel a leader should be.

THE ASSIGNMENT

• Reflect and pick a ideal leader.

• Tell at least two incidents that exemplify their leadership. You may have hundreds of reasons you think this person is an ideal leader. Pick a couple of actual times that are the best example of what makes them an ideal leader, and describe them.

• Tell how it changed you. How has the influence of this leader made you better?

PREPARE YOUR DOCUMENT

• Write your assignment in a Word file.

• Length of a quality submission is about 500 words. You are not limited to this; take as much time as you need to describe your ideal leader.

• Identify who you are, as detailed in the syllabus (unless you want someone else to get credit for this-you do want credit, right?).
