Final Project: Your goal is to improve organizational performance through dealing with the leadership issues. Students will examine an actual organizational leader of their choice, diagnose the problem(s), and recommend a solution(s). The main objective of the project is to provide students with an opportunity to: (1) Develop an in-depth understanding of an organizational leader through case research. (2) Develop consultancy skills in data gathering, analysis, and communication. Sources: The boundaries are those of imagination. The possibilities include personal work experience, interviews with leaders and members of an organization, questionnaires, observations of workplace behavior, analysis of organizational documents, trade journals, academic journals, local newspapers, and the business press (e.g., Business Week, Forbes, Fortune, Wall Street Journal). Do not, however, use a “pre-packaged” case (e.g., from a textbook or casebook). If there is a concern about the confidentiality of the selected company, it is okay to use a fictitious name. Also, sources must be cited carefully, since plagiarism could result in a failing grade for the course. Paper structure: The paper should not exceed 8 double-spaced pages (although appendices and references may be added), and should consist of the following sections presented under sub-headings: • Introduction (10%) Briefly describe the leader. Why was this particular leader selected? What was the   goal in doing so? What were the anticipated findings in relation to the leadership issue? • Methodology (20%) How did you obtain the information necessary for this project? Why was this method chosen? Did you use interviews (with whom)? Surveys (with whom)? Where did you get the survey or interview questions from (a scholarly journal article maybe)? Attach interview/surveys as appendix if used. 6 If you made observations, what did you look for? What days/times? Ethical considerations? (e.g. Voluntary participation? Confidentiality? Anonymity?) Note: there should be NO findings or results presented here in this section! • Analysis of Leadership Issues and Recommendations (60%) This is where you present the findings/results, analyze them, and give recommendations. Relative advantages disadvantages for each course of action should also be discussed. Finally, specific recommendations and/or implementation plan(s) must be described (use course concepts and theories to justify choices). • Conclusion (5%) Students should summarize what they learned about leadership issues from the project (insights), and draw relevant conclusions. • Cite Sources (including the text book, plus journal articles, etc) (5%) Please use  MLA style

should be in MLA format
