Cite a published source in addition to our textbook for EACH of the answers you provide (i. e. two citations per answer, one from the text and one from another reputable source...journal article or book). Websites are generally NOT acceptable sources. And for at least one of the questions, I want you to cite a source from a peer-reviewed journal such as Organizational Dynamics, Academy of Management Journal, or Journal of Leadership Studies.

3. Identify three individuals in (past or present) in any field (e.g. business, government, military, religion) who use/used their leadership abilities to build respected, successful organizations. What type of leadership behaviors do/did they use to accomplish this feat? Be sure to relate them to leadership approaches presented in the text.
