Leadership and Management Skills.

Choose an individual (past or present) whose use of both management AND leadership skills helped him or her succeed in an endeavor(s). This endeavor could be promoting organizational change, developing a new company or product, facing personal or social challenges, surviving an extreme situation, or conducting a military campaign etc. – you are not limited here. Please define and discuss how the use of these management and leadership skills, as discussed throughout this course, helped to meet objectives (short, medium, and long term) and ultimately ensure the final goal was reached. In doing so, also highlight where this person could have done things differently and offer YOUR PERPECTIVE AND RECOMMENDATONS on improvement. The goal here is to clearly identify and articulate the human factors that helped this person organize and influence those around him and relate these traits (“lesson identified”) to your own personal growth as a future manager and leader. Formal research will be required to truly flush out the salient points you will want to discuss as well as offer some historical perspective to the situation you are detailing. Please keep in mind that Management and Leadership are most often connected but not the same. Specific to the leadership side of your discussion, try to identify the Leadership Challenge your chosen person faced and how he used leadership skills/traits/characteristics to achieve a desired outcome. Not interested in a person’s success or personality per se, but more concerned with the leadership qualities exhibited by the individual. This is critical so you will need to clearly define the challenge (specifically) and show detailed info on the Leadership traits and skills your subject employed to be successful and clearly differentiate them from the managerial aspects you also discuss. – Minimum 6 pages of body not including cover sheet, pics, charts, references etc… – Single spaced (1.5) – 12pt font, Times New Roman style (Like the Word Doc posted on BB) – Use proper references/notes (More guidance to follow separately)  picked Sean “Diddy” Combs for this paper
