Analysis of a Theoretical Framework for Leadership

Select a book about leadership by a successful leader whom you believe has adopted leadership as a vocation. It can be a book by a well-known individual in the discipline of leadership or a leader in your own field, religion, sport, or another area of personal interest. Students are encouraged to select their book early in the course (at least before the end of Topic 2) to allow time for thoughtful reading and planning for this assignment. ( I’m choosing “Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence By Dr Ben Carson MD ( Cecil Murphy)) .
