Who is Who  

 Who Is Worksheet Assignments

Each Who Is Worksheet is worth 20 points. You will complete 4 Who Is Assignments throughout the course. Each one will focus on a different leader, following the guidelines given below. You will use the Who Is Worksheet to complete the assignment. Use your abilities to condense information down – the goal is to put all the information on one page (single spaced, 11-12 point font).

The Who Is Worksheet has three parts:

1. Leader’s biography: what made them a leader? Provide a brief explanation. This should be the shortest part of your worksheet, but you do need to give some explanation as to who this is and why they are considered a leader. A single sentence is not enough.
2. Leader’s style or approach to leadership: what styles, approaches, qualities did/does this individual use to lead others? You must correctly incorporate terminology from the course and should move past trait leadership after the first worksheet. This part should be more factual based.
3. Your analysis of the leader: give your honest opinion about the effectiveness of the leader. Were they good or bad leaders – or somewhere in between? Support your claim with examples and rationale. This is your opportunity to give your critical analysis of your opinion.

Who Is Leader Lists There are four different lists – one for each of the Who Is Worksheets. You will pick one different leader for each of the Who Is Worksheets. You may notice that some of the most commonly mentioned leaders are not on the first three lists. This is intentional. Learn about someone you are less familiar with and when you get to the fourth and final Who Is Worksheet, you should be able to go more in-depth as you examine a more familiar leader. You may still recognize some of the people on the first three lists, but what do you know about how they lead (past just the product of what they did/do). You will be asked to list the leaders you have reviewed on each worksheet.
