• Interpret the individual's leadership style based on the Five-Factor personality model, and offer one or more examples of the management and leadership roles of this individual.
• Explain one incident where this individual had to solve a difficult problem or situation because things did not go as planned.
• Describe the lessons that she/he learned from being able to problem solve, even when what she/he had been taught did not work.
