Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary in which you articulate elements of leadership using the following criteria:

• Examine your individual, essential elements of leadership and management.
• Differentiate between leadership and management roles, and provide specific examples from the text, literature, or personal example.

Cite at least one peer-reviewed source in addition to the course text (be certain to include the web link for your test in your citations).

The purpose of the assignment is to examine the difference between leadership and management.  This is particularly important as it is foundational to the understanding of how leadership theory evolved over time.  Students are expected to assess their own leadership and management style and articulate characterizations of both leaders and managers by offering specific examples from past references or personal example.
