Critical Analysis of LeadershipYou will need to complete the following project on leadership that assesses leaders in a work-related environment.This project focuses on critical analysis of leaders approaches to their leadership in a work-related environment and provides recommendations on how to sustain or
improve leadership effectiveness.
Identify three interviews or biographical accounts of Australian CEOs, business or third sector leaders from the Australian news media, a professional management
journal or management-related
magazine. Justify your selection.Analyse these cases, and from a critical perspective, compare and contrast:a) the ways in which each leader is constructed as a leader by the accounts;
b) how the leaders describe their conceptualisation of leadership;
c) how each leader conceptualises success through their leadership.Critically evaluate how each leaders practice of leadership impacts the success of their organisation,
using relevant theoretical perspectives you have covered during your study.
Identify organisational issues one of these three leaders is facing. Drawing on current leadership research (from the last five years) what advice would you offer this
leader to assist them in addressing these issues?
Finally, draw conclusions from your entire critical analysis, and make recommendations about how relevant theories and research can assist leaders to fulfil their
role.The task assesses the following learning outcomes:be able to critically analyse, in the context of the framework of relevant theories and research, current and projected issues which impact on organisational
leadership and organisational success;
be able to synthesise issues for organisational leaders and evaluate plausible impacts
requiring leadership decisions;
be able to explain the relationship of effective leadership and the success of organisations;
be able to develop a leadership plan and implementation strategies.
