CEO Analysis
This Activity is comprised of three (3) parts. Your Activity responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted in the same fashion as the Activity itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. In addition, you must appropriately cite all resources used in your response and document in a bibliography using APA style. (150 points) (A 5-page response is required for the combination of Parts A, B, and C.)
In this Activity, you will use the concepts you have learned to this point to analyze a CEO’s leadership abilities. Select a current or former CEO of your choosing. The CEO you choose does not necessarily have to be a successful or popular CEO. The person you choose may be, or have been, very unsuccessful or unpopular. However, you should find him or her to be interesting and a good example of many of the concepts you have studied in this course. You will want to choose someone fairly well known or, more specifically, someone well documented in order to have ample material for your analysis. You are required to review a minimum of (6) sources of information about the CEO in order to form your own conclusions and to obtain significant data relating to all the required concepts.
Part A
Introduction: Provide a 1-2 paragraph synopsis of your entire paper, similar to the abstract of a journal article. In the introduction, you should summarize the topic and your conclusions. (20 points)
Part B
Research: This portion of your paper should provide a comprehensive overview of the CEO’s career, highlights, achievements, and significant events. You must have a minimum of six (6) sources. These sources may be newspaper or magazine articles, books, or corporate press releases. In your search, do not focus simply on articles about the CEO. You should also attempt to find articles and/or books about the organization during the time the CEO was in charge. In addition, you should search for any written works by the CEO, which may provide excellent insight into him or her. Review as many sources as necessary to develop an in-depth understanding of the leader and his or her style of leadership. (60 points)
Part C
Conclusions and Examples: In this section, draw conclusions regarding the CEO’s leadership, focusing on the topics covered in the text. In addition to drawing conclusions, you must support your evaluation with specific behavioral examples drawn from your research. For example, if you were to state that Mr. Smith was clearly a highly extroverted individual; you would need to provide some evidence for that conclusion. You might state, “It is clear that Mr. Smith was highly extroverted based on numerous examples of his desire to be in the limelight. At an early age, Mr. Smith joined drama and debate teams and ran for class offices. Once he joined the corporate arena, Mr. Smith’s colleagues consistently described him as ‘the life of the party.’” You must address the following concepts, or topics, in your Conclusions section. (70 points)
Personality and Leadership Style
Courage and Moral Leadership
Motivation and Empowerment
Communication
Power and Influence
Vision and Strategic Direction
Culture and Values
Please keep in mind that the objective of this section is to demonstrate a thorough understanding of the required concepts, or topics. These topics are fairly broad and require a significant amount of discussion to demonstrate full knowledge. As a rule of thumb, you should cover no fewer than two (2) subtopics to sufficiently cover any given topic. For example, to discuss personality and leadership style fully, I might choose to discuss the Big-Five model: locus of control, authoritarianism, Theory X and Y, Myers Briggs, and charisma. I would choose these concepts both because they give a good overview of the topic I am required to cover and because the information I have gathered on the CEO I have chosen includes several examples I can use to illustrate these concepts. As I mentioned above, the CEO you choose does not necessarily need to demonstrate superior performance or glowing examples of the concepts. You may cite examples that demonstrate a lack of charisma.
