Assignment: Leadership Analysis Paper: Annotated Bibliography
Write an annotated bibliography for at least three sources you plan to use for your final Portfolio Project.
This is based on my final project please see below:
For this Portfolio Project paper, you will choose two leaders, one male and one female. These two leaders do not need to be from the same organization. One leader should be what you would consider "effective and successful" and the other should be what you would consider "ineffective and unsuccessful."
Compare these two leaders regarding their leadership characteristics, use of power and influence, and how these relate to their effectiveness or lack of effectiveness within their respective organization.
The entire portfolio project is worth 35% of your overall grade for this course. Make sure to use research to back up your statements within the paper. You will need to address each of the following as they relate to your two leaders. Each element is worth equal value.
