Business Leaders
Many names have been
recognized as notable business leaders. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Mark
Zuckerberg, Jack Welch, and Colleen Barrett are all leaders identified for
their unique approach to leading people. Choose one of the following business
leaders for this assignment: Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates,
Jack Welch, Indira Nooyi, Anne Mulcahy, Howard Schultz, Colleen Barrett, Larry
Page, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffett, Richard Branson, Susan Wojcicki, Marissa
Mayer, or Mary Barra. Select one leader and discuss (in 1,250-1,500 words) what
you have learned about the selected individual as a leader and the leadership
style that leader embodies. Address the following in your discussion:
1.
Identify a leader and justify why you selected that particular leader.
With what organizations is the leader affiliated? In what industry is the
leader recognized? How long was the leader in a leadership position?
2.
Discuss which leadership theory best describes the chosen leader's
approach to leading people.
3.
What was the leader's greatest career achievement?
4.
Identify a significant career challenge the leader faced and how the
challenge was handled. Did the response align more with a managerial role or a
leadership role?
5.
What power base did the leader use in handling or resolving the
challenge?
6.
Compare the leadership style used by your selected leader against that
of the leader's successor/predecessor (or competitor in the same industry if a
successor/predecessor is not applicable). Was there a difference in the
leadership styles? Which leader do you think is more effective and why?
7.
Include a personal reflection and identify two to three attributes you
hope to emulate or avoid (based on studying this leader) in order to be a successful
leader.
You are required to
use at least two external sources to provide evidence in support of the
leadership style displayed by your selected leader. The rationale should be
justified; this should not be completed based on an opinion.
