Contemporary Leaders
In this assignment, you will use the information you gathered for your Week 2 discussion of Adolf Hitler and his followers, along with the information you have read regarding Winston Churchill, to identify current leaders that appear to be on similar paths to greatness or disaster. Before beginning this assignment, review the Concepts of Leadership (Links to an external site.) to understand the broad concepts of leadership (n.d.).
For this assignment, choose a current bad leader who exhibits some similarity to Hitler, and explain how bad followers have made that current leader possible. Draw analogies with Hitler’s followers to support your analysis. Then explain what a good leader could do to help people to resist your chosen bad leader. Similarly, choose a current positive leader who exhibits some similarity to Winston Churchill. Explain how this current positive leader has not only rallied support locally but worldwide for their views. Finally, make a prediction for how you feel these contemporary leaders will be remembered in the future, if at all. Your entire paper should be three to four pages long.
Remember that there is no single right or wrong answer to this question. On the other hand, while there are many good answers to this question, not every answer is good. Demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts by making compelling and supporting arguments.
