One classification of leaders is those who command the obedience of their followers. Others utilize their position to improve themselves, gaining enriching experiences, sometimes at the frustration of those they lead.

In a paper, assess how an effective leader evolves based on your readings, external research, and personal/professional experiences. Remember, leaders are ever present in your life and not confined to business organizations.

Next, determine your personal leadership style. Once you have determined your leadership style based in part on your personality type, envision yourself as the leader of your organization and select one group of individuals you would like to positively influence. Describe the behavioral modifications you would first make in yourself, then formulate a strategy to lead these people. Be sure to analyze group dynamics that may affect your strategy.

Support your paper with a minimum of five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.
