499- Inspiring People

You were recently hired as a new manager in a company. You are fresh out of business school and have few management skills. More importantly, you know that your role will also involve inspiring your department's employees. You have been told that the prior department manager, although a capable manager, seemed to do little to inspire the team to achieve high goals.

Research 2 people in the news that you consider to be each of the following:

• An inspiring leader (not manager)
• An uninspiring leader (not manager)

For each person, you are to explain why you characterized him or her as inspiring or uninspiring.  You must use information presented in the course materials or outside sources, which you reference, to make your determination. Do not base your discussion on your subjective opinion.
