Take a contemporary case (or other case of your choosing), in which an organization grapples with challenging internal or external conditions.
You will research the pertinent issues of the case and provide an analysis of the leadership decisions and effects of group dynamics on the outcome, positive and/or negative. From your research you will produce a white paper on the case, a one-page executive summary for your boss to share with other executives, and a short narrated presentation that succinctly covers the case.
There are eight steps that will lead you through this project. Begin by watching the video above, which introduces the project as it might occur in the workplace.
