Leaders create a compelling vision, build high-performing teams, and navigate complex

management, risk assessment, and industry-specific expertise (Kotter, 2012).

emotional intelligence, and the ability to build consensus and inspire trust (Goleman, 2006).

 Evaluate how the client's leadership and management practices have contributed to their
successes and challenges.

 Research the client's values, beliefs, and norms.


 How is their culture reflected in their mission statement, branding, and employee
testimonials?
 Discuss how the client's leadership and management practices have shaped and reinforced
their culture.
