he final project is a research paper of no more than 5 pages on one leadership theory of your choice. This leadership theory should be one that is based on the concepts you have learned and discussed in the course, and one that resonates and applies to the leadership quote you discussed in Unit 1.
Leaders have a clear, compelling vision that they can communicate effectively to their team. They inspire others to buy into this vision and work towards it. This is different from management, which is more about executing plans and meeting objectives. Leaders not only set these objectives but also provide the motivation and direction to achieve them.
Leaders possess high emotional intelligence. They understand their own emotions and those of their team members. They use this understanding to manage relationships and navigate social networks effectively. Managers, on the other hand, may not necessarily need to have high emotional intelligence, as their role is more about ensuring tasks are completed efficiently. Leaders empower their team members. They encourage them to take initiative, make decisions, and contribute their ideas. pending time on short-term goals allows the manager to focus on creating the systems and processes the company needs to create the changes the leader has envisioned (Okuchi, 2021). This creates a sense of ownership and commitment among team members, leading to higher productivity and morale. In contrast, managers may focus more on controlling and directing their team members to ensure tasks are completed as planned. These insights highlight the differences between leadership and management. While both roles are crucial in an organization, they require different skill sets and approaches. Leaders inspire and motivate, while managers plan and coordinate. Both roles complement each other and are necessary for the success of any organization.
A manager is someone who is responsible for controlling or administering an organization or group of staff. They are involved in activities such as planning, organizing, directing, and controlling the work of a group of individuals to achieve a common goal. In conclusion, while the roles of a manager and a leader are distinct, they are not mutually exclusive. A person can be both a manager and a leader, depending on the situation and the needs of the organization or team.

Blogger’s Prompt:
In module four’s blog post, you selected three potential topics for your upcoming Persuasive Speech. In this blog, you will select the topic that you will most likely use in your persuasive speech outlines and video. You will use three different attention-grabbing strategies from Chapter 10 and apply them to your topic. Just to recap some of the strategies are the following: relate the topic to the audience, state importance of the topic, startle audience, a question to the audience about your topic, begin with a quotation, tell a story related to your topic, or use a visual aid.

2. Find an online source that is relevant to your persuasive speech topic, and you would consider credible according to the CRAP test.

Using tips from each letter of the CRAP test, give specific reasons why the website you have chosen would be a credible source. For example, for each term used in the acronym C.R.A.P, you are to write 2 to 3 sentences describing how your resources relates to each letter.
