During this semester, we have discussed/learned about different management and/or leadership styles as well as, theories of management/supervision.

Please review these different styles and think about what your management/leadership style may be.

Research and find someone (may be more than 1) that you feel has the same type of management/leadership style as yours.  i.e., a religious leader, president of a company, famous owner of a company, etc.

Key (type) a paper giving the reasons you have chosen the management/leadership style you have chosen, why you chose the person you chose, etc.  Make sure this is very thorough.
