Interview an individual who has a leadership role.

Create a 1,050- to 1,400-word company newsletter (formats may vary depending upon company's style; check the internet or Microsoft® Word for templates) by incorporating the following areas: 

• Develop a profile of this individual that can be submitted to a company's newsletter.
• Identify the individual, his or her position within the company, and briefly describe the organization.
• Interpret the individual's leadership based on the Five-Factor personality model and offer one or more examples of the management and leadership roles of this individual.
• Explain one incident where this individual had to solve a difficult problem or situation because things did not go as planned. What lessons did he or she learn from being able to problem solve, even when what he or she had been taught did not work.

Format your profile consistent with the newsletter template provided or another template you find.

Spell check and proofread your newsletter carefully.
