DUE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2020

 

 

 

 

 

Consider two leaders you either admire or despise; one current and one historical. Your task is to compare & contrast a historical leadership figure to a current day leader. Concepts to consider include their leadership traits, strengths, styles, relationships, and ability to communicate vision to their followers. This project includes a 6-8 page written paper and a 3-5 minute creative, multimedia presentation (NO POWERPOINT).

 

 

Part 1 — Write a comparative analysis paper in APA format, 6-8 body pages, double-spaced. It should include the following clearly marked sections:

1. Introduction of the paper including your leadership figures, the leadership concepts you will address in your paper, and a clear thesis statement.
2. Background of each leader and why they are selected to compare/contrast.
3. Leadership Concepts should be defined and a short explanation of why they are important, particularly in regards to your leaders.
4. Analysis can be done two ways:
   1. Analyze a leadership concept, explaining the similarities and/or differences of each leader’s approach
   2. Break this section into two, explaining the leader’s similarities in one part and differences in the other, regarding the leadership concepts

*Be sure to justify the differences and the similarities using experiences, facts, and examples from your sources.

1. Conclusion: summarize your findings and appropriately close your paper.

*The order of b/c may be switched depending on your paper however they both must be included.

Your comparative analysis paper should contain a minimum of 6 credible references. Please be sure to cite ALL your references correctly (internal citations); simply listing them at the end will NOT count. Also, be sure to cite your references in the style of the American Psychological Association (APA); see: https://library.uhd.edu/apa or http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/.

 

Paper Rubric: · Clarity of meaning and presentation (including organization, spelling, grammar) – 20 pts · Sufficiency of comparative analysis (e.g., sufficient evidence for claims, topic fully addressed and properly analyzed) – 60 pts · Adherence to set guidelines and structure (e.g., APA style) – 20 pts

 

 

Part 2 — prepare a creative multimedia presentation. Be sure to highlight the main components (sections) of your paper in a clear, concise, and entertaining way. Your multimedia presentation should not be a PowerPoint or slide presentation.  Challenge yourself to do something more creative, you are a communication scholar.  There is a lot of free software that can assist you to create a short video, animation, website, short-film, publication or anything else you can think of.  Consider the various media-types and give yourself permission to learn something new. This is your opportunity to argue your thesis through the means of electronic media.  Your multimedia presentation should range between 3–5 minutes.

Presentation Rubric: · Multimedia Presentation -100 pts: creativity (15 pts), professionalism (15 pts), organization (10 pts), clarity (10 pts), content (40 pts), and entertaining (10 pts).
