should reflect on the application of the leadership theory to your own personal life and career. One of the most important aspects of leadership is for a leader to articulate their vision to others. One way of doing that is through personal stories.

What ideas get you excited? What do you know about life now that you wish you had known in high school? What is the one best piece of advice you could give to a person? What life lesson would you like to pass on to your children some day think beyond simple and common clichs (e.g., Love makes the world go-round) to insights that are unique to you. How might others benefit from hearing your stories? How do the stories point to your vision and style as a leader? Thus your final paper will establish a strong foundation of your understanding of leadership, your own personal style, and how you can communicate your leadership vision and motivate your team thru potentially transformational stories to inspire.
