position of leadership to which they aspire. This leader cannot be a fellow student in the
course and should be someone with who the student does not have regular daily
contact. The goal of this assignment is for the student to develop an understanding of
the selected individual’s approach to leadership, how he/she sees himself/herself as a
leader, his/her approach to leading, the challenges of leading a being a leader, and
what it means to be a leader in a global society. Students will need to prepare several
questions in advance of their interview based on information found in the course
textbook and other learning resources from the class. Once the interview experience is
complete, students should write a summary of approximately 2-3 double spaced pages
of what they learned. This summary should include: 1) what surprised you; 2) how can
you relate the information from your leader interview to material from the course; 3)
what did you learn from this experience; 4) how can the information you learned help
you to be a more effective leader in your chosen career?
