Create a 15- to 20-slide presentation (not including the title and reference pages) that addresses your personal best leadership experience.

You have two choices for this assignment that account for different levels of professional experience. Below are your two options:

Option 1: Discuss your personal best experience performing as a leader in an organization.Option 2: Discuss your personal best experience following a leader in an organization.

Be sure to incorporate elements from your reading regarding the leadership approach you discuss (i.e., type of leadership) and how it compares to followers’ needs, based on the followership theory and other tenets of effective leadership.

Address the areas listed below in your presentation. Keep in mind that it would be very rare that a leader performed exceptionally in every area listed here, so do address these questions in terms of opportunities for improvement, as well.
