SUMMATIVE ASSIGNMENT
Summative assessment will take the form of one 3,500-word individual written assignment. This will contribute 100% of the module mark. This assignment gives you an opportunity to apply the concepts and theories of leadership taught in this module to a real situation. In this assignment, you will be asked to identify a leader whom you consider successful or effective and to critically evaluate the leader in question (e.g., by acknowledging what worked and what did not work) drawing upon leadership theories and research. The leader you choose has to be a business leader. How you organize the essay is up to you, but you need to include the following:
(1) You are expected to provide a detailed introduction about the leader and justify why you chose him/her.
(2) You should include facts that reflect the characteristics of your chosen leader. In other words, your analysis of the leader should be based on facts.
(3) You are expected to use only 2-3 different theoretical perspectives when analyzing the leader (e.g., personality, situational leadership, transactional and transformational leadership, culture).
(4) You are expected to provide recommendations on how the leader could do better in certain areas or how he/she could be better in the future.
(5) Make sure to reference academic resources relevant to your analysis.
