Leadership and Strategy
Chapter 05: Questions
Name: __
Overview of Chapter Questions. There are 8 chapters in your leadership text.
There are eight chapter questions assignments (this is one of them), which
correspond to each of the chapters. You will complete one set of chapter questions
after reading each chapter and then upload each set to Blackboard before the cutoff
date and time specified in the syllabus.
My expectations are a minimum of 5-pages (single-spaced, 12 point font) for each
set of chapter questions. Your chapter questions are listed below.
▪ To receive credit, this assignment is to be done as an individual assignment
(without collaboration with others).
▪ Note cutoff dates and times. No late submittals accepted.
▪ Use spelling, grammar check, and page numbers.
▪ Chapter Questions Assignments are open book, open note.
▪ Chapter Questions become a very good study guide for your chapter exams,
mid-term, and the final.
▪ Uploaded copy only. Please submit this assignment to Blackboard. Do not
combine multiple submittals (single submittal only).
▪ Please leave the questions visible (do not delete them before beginning your
answer).
Here are your questions. Begin your answer immediately after each question (please
maintain correct question numbering). Following along in the text as you complete
your answers is the most productive way to benefit from this assignment. You may
lift text directly from the text for this assignment (do not worry about citing the
source).
