Think about one effective and one ineffective leader who you have encountered.

Determine how each leader was effective or ineffective in his or her leadership styles and explain your reasoning with support from sources and actual examples.

Incorporate in your response materials to justify your assessment of leader effectiveness and ineffectiveness such as leader traits, leader skills, leader behaviors and leadership theories such as situational leadership, contingency leadership, path-goal theory or leader-member exchange theory.

In the case of the ineffective leader, make suggestions as to how he or she could improve his or her individual leadership style.

- Embed academic material concepts, principles and theories (require supporting citations) along with at least two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article in supporting your answer unless the assignment calls for more.
