This person can be a historical or contemporary figure and may be a well-known or not-so-well-known leader. You should introduce your leader and describe why they are or are not a good example of a leader and how you define those qualities. You will use the topics covered in this course to describe your person and shape your argument as to why they were or were not successful in your opinion. As we progress through the course you should pay particular attention to each chapter or section and how it may relate to your chosen leader and how you can take away positive and negative aspects from these topics.
