1. Decide on a specific leadership role you would like to take (e.g., U.S. President , a CEA, a restaurant's owner, etc.) and your audience to whom you will address your speech as the content of your speech would vary based on your audience. 2. Start with a brief description of the crisis situation. The best approach would include a mix of factual information and current and projected consequences for your institution/people. 3. As a leader, take a position on the issue and defend your decision in light of your leadership philosophy. The task is persuasive speech in which you would need to a) propose 1-3 ways of addressing the issue, and b) justify the choice of your solutions. In your suggestions/speech follow a specific leadership style (or a combination of them). Make sure you very well understand the selected styles and employ characteristics/strategies associated with those styles in your speech (e.g., if you rely on transformational leadership make sure you very well communicate the ways how you encourage, inspire and motivate employees to innovate and create change etc.). Adhere to the style(s) that connects best with you (who you are as a leader or who you are aspired to be) as well as with the situation. You do not need to explain why you selected a particular style(s) but you will need to make sure the style would be recognizable from your speech/proposed actions.
