Your task is to review the literature relevant to the Course case study: Genocide in Rwanda: Leadership, ethics and organisational ‘failure’ in a post-colonial context. The case focuses on the organizational factors that played a role in “failing” to prevent genocide in Rwanda. In particular, it focuses on the interplay between key leaders and geo-political relations.

A literature review is an examination of the relevant writings in a particular field or topic, not just a summary of the chapters and articles you have read. You should examine and illustrate the different frameworks of leadership (discussed in detail in Week 3 class) available to understand the relations between the leadership approaches and contexts which influenced the particular approaches. In the review, you should also express ideas, concepts, and arguments in a logical and coherent written form consistent with academic standards.

The overall purpose of this written assessment is for you to apply a broad and coherent body of knowledge in a particular context. We will assess you and give feedback on your ability to review critically, analyse, consolidate, and synthesise knowledge, communicate skills to present a clear, coherent, and independent exposition.

Keep Intro & conclusion short. Expand on the body of the essay. Focus is on Dallaire's leadership. Go straight to the point. No need to give definition of organization. Write immediately on D's leadership & one other person in the case study.
