1. (A) Select the country in which you have spent the majority of your time up to now. Is the type of leadership in that country/culture changing? What is the basis/ evidence for your answer? (B) Select a large and influential country (in terms of the world's economy) other than the country you name in part A. Is the type of leadership in you (A) country becoming more or less similar the type of leadership in the (B) country/culture? Explain your reasoning. This question works best in a class with high ethnic and national diversity. 2. Think of a specific leader in your work situation, in a friendship group, on a sports team, or in the news. What types of power does he or she appear to use? How does he or she use these different types of power? Would you consider this person to be an effective leader? Why or why not? 3. Do you think people are born leaders? Are there specific traits that can be seen early in a person's life or career that identify that person as leader? Can someone without these specific traits go on to become a leader? 4. How would you characterize yourself - as a transformational, transactional, or charismatic leader? Which would you rather be? Can you change your style?
