Introduction - You need to state what the assessment is about, what company you are you looking at and the role of the manager who has been interviewed. You do not have to use the actual name of the company, but an indication of size and activities. You should not use 'I' in the assessment.

Literature review - You should present, in your own words, not cut and paste, what the literature says about the role and activities of good people management.
