Comparing and Contrasting Leadership Styles

Introduce material here… Remember, each case study must have the heading listed below and must be answered according to instructions; each heading is worth a percentage of each case grade. 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. Here you will give a general overview of the two leaders you chose.

This is generally one paragraph or two. 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. Remember that you got this information from the textbook. Consequently, you should cite Baldwin, Bommer, and Rubin (2013). You should NOT write “According to the textbook” as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that.

If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. The paper should be written in third person narrative. I do not want to see you writing in the first person. One other note: a business is an “it,” not a “they.” Remember that when you use pronouns describing a business.

Leader Effectiveness of ______ and ______

In this section, you will answer your question: What makes them effective leaders? Note: I do not want to see heading written as questions or you asking questions within the paper. The idea is to answer it in essay form. Here you will describe what make them BOTH effective (i.e., their commonalities). In the following level 2 headings, you can be more specific for each leader.

(Name of leader)

______ is an effective leader because… (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion)

(Name of leader)

______ is an effective leader because… (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion).

Increasing Motivation

In this section, you will answer your question, “How do they increase motivation within their organization?” Note: I do not want to see heading written as questions or you asking questions within the paper. The idea is to answer it in essay form. Here you will describe what they BOTH do to increase motivation (i.e., their commonalities). In the following level 2 headings, you can be more specific for each leader.

(Name of leader)

______ motivates in his/her organization by … (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion)

(Name of leader)

______ motivates in his/her organization by … (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion).

How ______ and ______ Will be Remembered in Business History

In this section, you will answer your question, “How will they be remembered in business history?” Note: I do not want to see heading written as questions or you asking questions within the paper. The idea is to answer it in essay form. In a sentence or two describe what you will cover for both leaders.

(Name of leader)

______ will be remembered because… (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion)

(Name of leader)

______ will be remembered because… (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion).

Communicating to Support Ideas

In this section, you will answer your question, “How did they use their communication skills to gain support for their ideas?” Note: I do not want to see heading written as questions or you asking questions within the paper. The idea is to answer it in essay form. Here you will describe their commonalities in their communication styles. In the following level 2 headings, you can be more specific for each leader.

(Name of leader)

______ communicated by…… (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion)

(Name of leader)

______ communicated by…… (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion).

Techniques for Problem-Solving, Generating Solutions, and Decision Making

In this section, you will answer your question, “What are some of the techniques they use for problem-solving, generating alternative solutions, and effective bias-free decision making?” Note: I do not want to see heading written as questions or you asking questions within the paper. The idea is to answer it in essay form. Here you will describe how they approached problem solving (i.e., their commonalities). In the following level 2 headings, you can be more specific for each leader.

(Name of leader)

______ approached problem solving by…… (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion)

(Name of leader)

______ approached problem solving by…… (make sure you support your answer and do not just give your opinion).

Also, you must provide at least eight scholarly references and cite the references in the form of in-text citations in the body of the paper (i.e., the textbook and eight additional 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 between sections. The only page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction 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:
