Research about a modern leader of your choice. You may not select one of the leaders listed here:Warren Buffett, Martin Winterkorn, Carrie Toldstedt, Ginni Rometty. Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg

2. Carefully consider the traits, styles, and differing situations for leadership in today's organizations.

Task

1. Select a leader to profile in your written report. You may select one you admire, or a "good example of a bad example." There are numerous websites naming leaders to get you started. A quick search on "famous contemporary leaders" revealed millions of possible lists.
2. Research your chosen leader, identifying evidence of his/her traits, styles, and leadership situations. Relate your findings to the module concepts. For example, how did your chosen leader demonstrate the trait of "desire to lead"? Prepare examples.
3. Use five-paragraph essay to profile your chosen leader.
   • First, introduce your leader, and state why you selected him/her. Was their leadership effective or not effective?
   • Next, expand upon the traits and style of your leader, including at least three properly referenced and defined terms from the module reading. For example, if you select Drive, describe what the term means in the context of leadership and how your leader demonstrates it.
   • Next, describe the leadership situation your chosen leader was in, using one of the Situational Leadership Models from the module reading. For example, if your leader was charged with a group of new or low-competence employees, did they use the Selling style prescribed by Ken Blanchard?
   • Finally, conclude with a short description of your personal leadership style and how effective it has been for you to date.
