Address these first two questions briefly.

• Assess how effectively Kent Thiry used the principles of "Model the Way" from Kouzes and Posner's The Leadership Challenge and "Make Your Values Mean Something" by Patrick M. Lencioni to be an exemplary leader (1-2 sentences).
• Consider which of these principles were used most effectively and which principles were used least effectively (1-2 sentences).

Addressing this third question should be the main focus of your assignment. Assume you are creating a personal leadership development plan for Kent Thiry based on the principles in this module.

• Using 3-4 principles from the reading materials AND specific examples from the case study to support your arguments, what should Kent Thiry have done to use the principles from "Model the Way" and "Make Your Values Mean Something" more effectively to have become an even more exemplary leader?
• The case study analysis should clearly state your position, include supporting evidence from the case study, and demonstrate your mastery of the material by appropriately applying principles from the reading assignments.
• The case study analysis should be at least 650 words, but no more than 850 words, in length. The quality of the content will be more important than the number of words, but your submission must meet the minimum word requirement to receive credit. Please include the word count as part of your submission.
