PA 1 – THE NAME OF THE PERSON YOU ADMIRE

Name of the person you admire
Briefly providing the contextual background of the leader. This will contain the person’s
background. This is how I want your paper turned in. Your audience is someone like your
roommate – intelligent, educated, but has NO IDEA what the case study is about.
This is generally one paragraph, but two or three may be fine. The easiest way to explain
this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can
actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is
the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections.
Cite authors. You should NOT write “According to his book” as your reader has NO IDEA who
or what is that. Instead, use “According to Kouzes and Posner (2017), ...”
If there is a second paragraph, it will look like this. This is difficult for many to get used
to and takes practice. The paper should be written in third person narrative, but for this paper, the
first person will be accepted. You will NOT use the first person plural, “we,” or the second
person. One other note: an organization is an “it,” not a “they.” Remember that when you use
pronouns describing an organization.
Reasons for My Admiration
Providing specific examples of actions and behaviors that the leader used with respect to
the five practices of exemplary leadership. Describing key reasons why you admire the leader
(providing specific examples of actions & behaviors that the leader used with respect to the five
practices of exemplary leadership).

(Name here)’s Credibility
Evaluating to what extent the leader had credibility, where it stemmed from, and whether
there were areas for the leader to improve.
(Name here)’s Transferability
Would the leader be as effective in another activity? For example, if the leader was a
business person, would their leadership style and methods work as well (or better or worse) if
they were a politician? Teacher? Head of a non-profit social change organization? Why or why
not?
Also, you must provide at least six scholarly references and cite the references in the
form of in-text citations in the body of the paper (i.e., the textbook and six additional sources).
Again, when you reference material in your paper, you must also have in-text citations in the

body of the paper for each reference. Remember, EVERY citation must correspond to a
reference and EVERY reference must correspond to a citation. You CANNOT have one without
the other.
Summary and Conclusions
This section will tie together all sources used for this case study, conclusions drawn from
the reading and any inconsistencies. This section will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice
the paper has a continuous flow; there are no page breaks or gaps between sections. The only
page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction, as well as and the
summary/conclusions and the reference page. All references for the case study must appear on a
separate page (see the following page for an example).

alphabetical order by first last name; also, the title for books is always in italic format and in
sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title for articles is in sentence format, not in
italic, but the name of the publisher is in italic. See examples below:
