Contrasting Leadership Styles

This will contain the background of both leaders. This is how I want your paper turned in. Your audience is someone like your roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about. Remember, this is to be a perspective on leadership that requires you to perform research and analysis into how these leaders viewed themselves, and how others viewed them.

This will probably be a few paragraphs. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Cite authors. You should NOT write “According to his book” as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. Instead, use “According to Kouzes and Posner (2017), ...”

The paper should be written in third person narrative. You will NOT use the first person or the second person. Note: I have bolded the required headings that must be present in the paper and please keep bolded. One other note: an organization is an “it,” not a “they.” Remember that when you use pronouns describing an organization.

Also, you must provide at least six (6) peer-reviewed references and cite the references in the form of in-text citations in the body of the paper (i.e., the textbook and six [6] additional peer-reviewed sources). Again, when you reference material in your paper, you must also have in-text citations in the body of the paper for each reference. Remember, EVERY citation must correspond to a reference and EVERY reference must correspond to a citation. You CANNOT have one without the other.

Summary and Conclusions

This section will tie together all sources used for this case study, conclusions drawn from the reading and any inconsistencies. This section will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice the paper has a continuous flow; there are no page breaks or gaps between sections. The only page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction, as well as and the summary/conclusions and the reference page. All references for the case study must appear on a separate page (see the following page for an example).

References

This section will reference all original work cited throughout the paper. The heading should appear at the top of the page and all reference material should be listed below in alphabetical order by first last name; also, the title for books is always in italic format and in sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title for articles is in sentence format, not in italic, but the name of the publisher is in italic. See examples below:
