Many names are recognized as notable business leaders. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jack Welch, and Colleen Barrett are all leaders identified for their unique approach to leading people. Please review the "Contemporary Business Leaders" resource for a list of additional business leaders. Select one leader from this list discuss (in 1,250 words) what you have learned about the selected individual as a leader and the leadership style that leader embodies. Address the following in your discussion:

1. Identify a leader and justify why you selected that particular leader. With what organizations is the leader affiliated? In what industry is the leader recognized? How long was the leader in a leadership position?

2. Discuss which leadership theory best describes the chosen leader's approach to leading people. 

3. What was the leader's greatest career achievement?

4. Identify a significant career challenge the leader faced and how the leader handled the challenge. Did the response align more with a managerial role or a leadership role?

5. What power base did the leader use in handling or resolving the challenge?

6. Compare the leadership style used by your selected leader against that of the leader's successor/predecessor (or competitor, if a successor/predecessor is not applicable). Was there a difference in the leadership styles? Which leader do you think is more effective and why?

7. Include a personal reflection and identify two to three attributes you hope to emulate or avoid (based on studying this leader) in order to be a successful leader.

You are required to use at least two external sources to provide evidence in support of the leadership style displayed by your selected leader. The rationale should be justified; this should not be completed based on an opinion.
