Description

This is for a leadership class.

Here are the instructions: The leaders I chose are Ronald Reagan for a positive contribution as a leader and Idi Amin for a negative contribution as a leader.

Select two historical leaders. One who was known for making a positive contribution in a leadership role, and the other who made a negative contribution in a leadership role (one good leader and one bad leader).

  1. Each leader must be, or have been a business or world leader (each leader) from 1960 to the present.
  2. Provide three separate reasons (with referenced examples) to justify the reason they were a good, or bad leader.
  3. Identify, compare, and contrast the two different leadership styles of each one. Be sure to add applicable leadership theories and concepts.
  4. The research paper must be 6-8 pages of written text (not including the cover page and reference page), roughly 1500-2000 words.
  5. You must include at least three outside references for each leader, for a total of six references (minimum) for the research paper. The text may be used as a reference but it will not count toward the six required sources.

20.0 pts (Excellent - A) Answers to research questions are clear throughout. Connection with class and study material goes well beyond the obvious connections among ideas; demonstrates insight and original thinking.

18.0 pts (Above-Average - B) Answers to research questions present some irrelevant information on topic etc., but very little; treatment goes beyond obvious connections with class and study material.

16.0 pts (Average - C) Answers to research questions are vague in places; some irrelevant or distracting information.

14.0 pts (Near-Failing - D) Answers to research questions are unclear and/or confusing. Treatment is very superficial; paper may be well written but says nothing.

12.0 pts (Failing - F) Does not address the research questions. Treatment is very superficial and says very little.

20.0 pts

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Organization and Coherence

20.0 pts (Excellent - A) Uses a logical structure appropriate to paper's subject, purpose, audience, thesis, and disciplinary field. Sophisticated transitional sentences often develop one idea from the previous one or identify their logical relations. It guides the reader through the chain of reasoning or progression of ideas.

18.0 pts (Above-Average - B) Shows a logical progression of ideas and uses fairly sophisticated transitional devices; e.g., may move from a least to a more important idea. Some logical links may be faulty, but each paragraph clearly relates to paper's central idea.

16.0 pts (Average - C) May list ideas or arrange them randomly rather than using any evident logical structure. May use transitions, but they are likely to be sequential (first, second, third) rather than logic-based. While each paragraph may relate to central idea, logic is not always clear. Paragraphs have topic sentences but may be overly general, and arrangement of sentences within paragraphs may lack coherence.

14.0 pts (Near-Failing - D) May have random organization, lacking internal paragraph coherence and using few or inappropriate transitions. Paragraphs may lack topic sentences or main ideas, or may be too general or too specific to be effective. Paragraphs may not all relate to paper's thesis.

Martin Luther King was an American activist who became the most common
spokesman and a leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 to 1968 when he was
assassinated. Martin Luther travelled a lot to all places that injustices and protests were
