The submitted paper should address leadership of organizations from a real-life perspective and include connections to ORGL courses listed below. Topics to be addressed (these are your section headings of your paper) are:

• Leadership style or approach.
• Success as a leader- how is it achieved?
• How do leaders handle difficult situations, circumstances, and people?
• How do leaders strike a balance between organizational effectiveness and follower morale and wellbeing?
• Reliance of leaders on certain theory, concept, or philosophy to effectively move an organization forward.
• How leaders develop followers to follow in their footsteps. How are the next generation of leaders chosen?
• How current leaders are adapting to changes in technology and society.

As you develop this paper, plan on using three types of reference sources:

Once you have sourced program and outside reference material and completed the two interviews, start writing your paper. You are required to write one integrated paper, analyzing the data you received from your reference material and the two interview participants. Discuss, compare and contrast material that you have gathered around each topic.Include a robust but concise introductory paragraph which will introduce the material to be covered. Source 1: Southwest Airlines or FTX

Two real-life scenarios chosen for you are Southwest Airlines and FTX. Both companies experienced a crisis, and leadership had to answer the call of working through that crisis. Consider these two companies and the situation explained in the attached articles as you explore the leadership of organizations in your paper. CHOOSE ONE COMPANYto use as a basis of discussing real-life application of leadership in your paper. You are provided with two articles as sources, but you may research and find additional sources related to Southwest or FTX for your paper.

Southwest Airlines Article: Southwest Under Fire for Mass Flight Cancellations

FTX:What Happened to Crypto Giant FTX?

Outside references related to either the Southwest Airlines crisis or the FTX crisis includearticles such as Harvard Business Reviews and other sources that discuss leadership and leaders including blogs, published interviews and video sources. Do not rely 100% on website articles from weak, unknown sources as these will result in a lower grade. Seek supporting material from other outside sources such as journals, published papers and other scholarly sources.
