As you answer them, please remember that this is a graduate course so answer at a graduate level with well thought out responses, citations in APA format when appropriate, and aim for 250 words per response. Please re-read your answers before you post them to be sure they are grammatically correct and there are no misspellings. For the citations you use, include one reference list at the end of all answers, which should be in alphabetical order by author's last name.
Cite a published source in addition to our textbook for EACH of the answers you provide (i. e. two citations per answer, one from the text and one from another reputable source...journal article or book). Websites are generally NOT acceptable sources. And for at least one of the questions, I want you to cite a source from a peer-reviewed journal such as Organizational Dynamics, Academy of Management Journal, or Journal of Leadership Studies.
