This is your first of five Leadership Analysis Paper assignments (remember, write in your own words just as if you were casually talking to a friend or colleague).
Take a few moments to reflect on your experience with a leader that made (or makes) you feel safe. It can be anyone a boss, coworker, political figure, family member, military leader, etc. Address the following in your essay:
Name of the leader and describe your relationship with him or her
What qualities does this leader possess that make you feel a sense of security?
What values and beliefs do you and this leader have in common?
What if you didn’t have these values and beliefs in common? How might you feel about this leader?
