Contemporary Business Leaders

Identify a leader and justify why you selected that particular leader. With what organizations is the leader affiliated? In what industry is the leader recognized? How long was the leader in a leadership position? Discuss which leadership theory best describes the chosen leader's approach to leading people. What was the leader's greatest career achievement? Identify a significant career challenge the leader faced and how the challenge was handled. Did the response align more with a managerial role or a leadership role? What power base did the leader use in handling or resolving the challenge? Compare the leadership style used by your selected leader against that of the leader's successor/predecessor (or competitor in the same industry if a successor/predecessor is not applicable). Was there a difference in the leadership styles? Which leader do you think is more effective and why?
