leadership

Order Description
Framework for Answer
First paragraph = Students should introduce the case (What is this case all about?) Students should do the following:
? summarize the situation (2 point),
? theoretically introduce the topic of leadership: this is to say, students should explain what
“leadership” is according to the textbook (2 points),
? introduce the task at hand: this is to say, students should announce what they will do in
the paper (2 point).
In the next set of paragraphs (minimum three paragraphs), students should answer the first question: How can the leadership of their chosen character (Emile, Gillian,
Robert, or Sylvia) be explained? Students should choose ONE theory of leadership and ONE character and proceed as follow:
? write an introductory paragraph presenting (and explaining) the theory they will use to explain their character’s leadership (10 points),
? write a middle paragraph applying the theory to their character (10 points)
? write a concluding paragraph summarizing the leadership of their character according to
that theory (10 points).
These analyses should be justified by the theory chosen and illustrated with information from the case.
Fifth paragraph = Students should answer the second question: Given the leadership theory chosen and the character chosen, how do the students expect the other people
in the case to react to their character if that character maintains his or her current course of action (this is to say, if nothing changes, what will happen at that
restaurant)? (4 points)
Sixth paragraph = Students should answer the third question: What needs to change about the leadership in this restaurant (and how) to ensure at least its survival and
at best its thriving? Students should explain what needs to change, using a theory of leadership to justify their suggestion (4 points). Students should explain how
that change would be introduced, using a theory of leadership to justify their suggestion (4 points)

Seventh paragraph = Students should answer the fourth question: In general, which theory appears to be the best one to understand the phenomenon of leadership in
organizations and why? If they were to only remember one theory of leadership, students should suggest one theory (the one they have previous used to analyze the case
or another) that best explain most of the leadership phenomenon in organizations (4 points). Students should say why they think that theory is the best one to remember
(4 points).
Eighth paragraph = Students should conclude this leadership analysis. Students should do the following: wrap up their analysis with a brief summary of what they have
specifically discovered or inferred about their chosen character’s leadership skills (2 point) and what they have discovered about leadership in general (2 point).
