Final Exam

Leadership & Organizational Behavior

Choose and connect three of the integrative questions from this course to answer this
question: "What is the most effective way to lead?" Give me one answer, not three separate
ones, that integrates the material from three different classes. The questions up to today are listed
on the next page.

I am grading you on your ability to connect the class material together, demonstrate
understanding, and make a coherent argument. I encourage you to revisit the “depth of
understanding” slide provided in the Toolbox, as a guide.

Use Times New Roman, 12-pt font, and double-spacing.

You can use your notes and talk with each other. However, you must submit your own work.
This means your own examples and your own novel applications, if you provide them.
