Step 1: Read the article “The Failures of Leaders” [http://www.govleaders.org/failures.htm].
Step 2: Write a paper [3-4 pages (or more if needed), 1” margins, double-spaced, 12-point font] that addresses the following
topics:
A summary of “The Failures of Leaders” article.
An explanation of the ways in which you experienced the issues presented in the article at your workplace or in other areas of your life.
The one idea in “The Failures of Leaders” article that you found most relevant to your quest to be a more effective leader. (Be sure to explain why you chose this particular idea).
Identify and explain two (2) points in “The Failures of Leaders” article that most closely align with the ideas in the materials we have read so far in this class.
Identify and explain two (2) points in “The Failures of Leaders” article that differ from the ideas in the materials we have read so far in this class.
Your grade for this assignment will be based on the insights you provide, and the degree to which you incorporated into your paper ideas in “The Failures of Leaders” article AND the ideas in our readings. However, avoid merely copying quotes from the Ray Blunt article; be sure that your paper is written in your own words — as highlighted in the grading rubric, you should use direct quotes judiciously to support (rather than in place of) your explanation and analysis.
Your paper needs to be in the form of an essay — this means that you will need to include a title page, introduction, section headings (for each topic addressed in the paper), conclusion, and a References page [see the mail message sent out the first week of class, which includes a sample paper]. Be sure that your paper fully explains the ideas presented, using points from the article, as well as the required readings (and/or other appropriate sources). Citations within the text must be properly presented in APA form.
