This is a seminal project for this course; it should comprise all of the ideas that you have learned. This task is a group undertaking; the team is free to organize itself and/or break apart based on the desires and decisions of its members; this group is an association governing itself.
The endeavor should be an in-depth creative analysis of a top organizational, global, national, or local leadership issue that interests members of the team. The team may select a real business case that one of the team members is facing at work, conduct work for a client, or select a future topic of interest.
Describe the case. What are the main problems? What are the main challenges? Who are the current leaders? What is their character? Has anyone attempted to solve this case before? What would it take to address the matters? What type of a leader could solve this problem? Reason logically and in depth.
