Application letter describing your leadership style Think about a job or position you would like now or in the future were you will be in a leadership position. This does not mean that you have a formal leader title (e.g., supervisor, manager, director). It means that you will be in position where you have responsibility for making decisions and influencing others.
Write a letter to the person responsible for the hiring decision, describing your leadership style and why it is advantageous for this positon and/or organization. You may want to compare and contrast your style with another less effective style.
Remember, your rationale must be supported by the readings. You can (and should) incorporate academic sources beyond the assigned readings to support your perspective/rationale/argument.
