Was Ernest Shackleton a Good Leader?

You have a decent start and are probably sitting somewhere in the high C or low B range as is. Here's some feedback on your paper before you submit on Canvas:  1). You're missing a thesis statement and you're also missing an intro paragraph. I know that you have an abstract which can act as an intro in some ways, but even with an abstract you should still have an intro paragraph. A thesis statement should come near the end of an intro paragraph at the beginning of your paper. The thesis should clearly state what main topics you'll be discussing in your paper. Based on what you've written, a thesis for your paper could look something like this: "Earnest Shackleton was a great because he not only possessed many leadership traits needed to be successful, such as self-confidence, emotional intelligence, risk-taking, persistence, motivation, and interpersonal skills, but he also possessed many attributes of the great man theory, trait theory, and process leadership theory." Did you see how that example clearly laid out which main topics your paper will discuss? 2). You have several grammatical errors and multiple spots where you capitalize words that don't need to be capitalized. I suggest you go to the writing center if you need additional help identifying areas of improvement. 3). You need more citations/references to course material. I expect at least 1 citation p/paragraph...only your last two paragraphs leading up to your conclusion really have good citations.  4). You need implications in your conclusion - how and why other leaders today should implement similar leadership traits and how it could impact their organization.

5) I'd also you use headers to better organize your paper! You have some headers with your conclusion and abstract, but add a few more to clearly identify a change in topics/arguments (i.e., from one leadership theory to the next)
