This TMA is based on your selection of a leadership example. In order to complete this TMA you need to have material that identifies a leadership example and gives insight into how identity and power inform the leadership in your example. You may base your answer on one of the following:

• a leader, group of leaders or leadership practice you know about through researching them (that is, they are not known to you)
• your own experience of being a leader and practising leadership
• a leader, group of leaders, or leadership practice you have observed first hand.

You will have collected some examples in your studies to help you justify and substantiate your choice throughout the assessment. In the case of publicly known leaders, groups or organisations these could include:

• interviews
• media stories
• newspaper articles
• recordings or texts of speeches
• a visual representation.

If you focus on your experience, then the evidence will take a different form, for example:

• your own written reflections
• your own observations
• your own account of conversations with leaders and followers
• a visual representation of your own experience.

It is important to include a reference list at the end of the report referencing all your sources.

Question 1

Provide a brief description of the leadership example you have selected and explain why you have done so

Question 2

Analyse the leadership example in respect of identity and power using two concepts drawn from Block 4

Question 3

Using at least one concept from Block 4, offer written advice to the leader or group of leaders within your leadership example about how they could develop or improve leadership practice, incorporating some of the knowledge you have learned about identity and power.
