7. Consider how you would advise the CEO of BP to apply your selected leadership approach(es) for the most effective handling of the BP Oil Spill as it is actually taking place (not in retrospect). Incorporate material from the text, article readings, and library databases to supplement your analysis.
8. make a report to the CEO of BP and its Board of Trustees in which you identify and leverage your chosen leadership approach in response to the BP crisis. In the conclusion of your report, explain why the particular leadership approach(es) is the most appropriate to use given BP's situation.
   • Avoid the use of the first and second person (e.g., "I think that, I would or your need to") in your response. E.g., The optimal approach the CEO should apply is .... Use the third person and be objective. Remember that you are writing a report for the CEO and the Board of Trustees.
