You are to research a successful business entrepreneur and write a 2 page profile about this person.
Expected sections of the project:
- The Introduction should identify the person and his/her current professional role (i.e. CEO of Tesla), and why this position is important in today's business climate.A good question to ask yourself is "what impact is this person having on the business world or society in general" (i.e. a social entrepreneur)?
- Then write about his/her professional history/background and any potential personal circumstances that helped propel this person into prominence.
- The next section should discuss any relevant credentials - education, certifications, awards & recognition, etc.Include pieces of any news stories or interviews that capture the personality of the person.
- This is one way to use supporting references in your paper (i.e. APA formatting).
- ??The last piece should be about 1/2 to 3/4 of a page that discusses why you picked this person to profile.What are the key characteristics that drew you to him/her? Which of these traits you would like to develop for yourself to help you be successful?
- What personality traits, values, or business behaviors do you share with this person?
- How does/will this person inspire you to try harder to be successful?
This is the expected formatting for the written profile:
- No more than 2 pages using an 12 font and double spaced. The font needs to be Times New Roman.
- This needs to be written in a formal academic style using proper grammar, sentence structure, spelling, etc.
If you need help with your formal writing style:
