LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT

MAIN ASSIGNMENT

COURSE CODE: MBA 551

MARKS: 40

ASSIGNMENT – 24 October 21

Assignment: Leadership theories/models

Select two leaders who are either:

1. Leaders from your organisation and/or

2. Popular figures from an industry

The two leaders can both be from your organisation, or they can both be popular figures from an
industry, or be one of each type. The leadership roles of the chosen persons should be comparable.

It is preferred that you are familiar with the organisation/industry and the leaders. The popular
figure can be a politician, sportsperson, business tycoon or social worker. The important thing here
is that the popular figure is widely known and regarded as a leader.

Using relevant theories and models, critically evaluate, compare and analyse the
leaderships of the two individuals you have selected.
Your report must include the following:

• A clear description of both leaders and the organisation/industry they are associated with.
Please remember that a situational background can also be added to this section, if required.
• An individual evaluation of the two leaders which compares and contrasts their leadership.
The similarities and differences of the two leaders must be highlighted. The comparison of
the leaders should be performed by referring to concepts and theories covered in the subject
(e.g. style, behaviour, traits, attitudes, power).

• A discussion on which leadership aspects of the two leaders you would like to incorporate
into your own leadership.

It is important to demonstrate your knowledge about leadership and to clearly reference your
sources. Read about leadership in journal articles, books (including the textbook), and business
literature. Note the sources and use them throughout the report.

Remember that pure description and paraphrasing is not sufficient. A good report will clearly take
an analytical approach and demonstrate application of leadership concepts/theories.

Please remember to clearly link theory with practice throughout the report.
