Unit 2 Mastery Assignment: Leadership and Followership Analysis Paper (Part 2 of Capstone Project #1):
First, based upon your research from Unit 1 and any additional research suggested in your instructors feedback (none provided) or needed to deepen your analysis, identify your major program of study (Strategic Leadership) and then describe in some depth, supported by your research, the desirable:
1) Followership styles
2) Followership traits
3) Leadership styles
4) Leadership traits that are directly applicable to your major program of study (Strategic Leadership).
Second, develop at least four (4) conclusions from your research and analysis regarding how your research study of Leadership and Followership has informed your understanding of the roles of leaders and followers working in fields associated with your major program of study. Describe how this understanding has shaped your goals and career aspirations that you will pursue upon your graduation (I plan to work for the US Government as a GS [general schedule] employee upon completing my bachelor’s degree, and then getting into investing in real estate rental properties and owning small businesses, eventually).
Third, conclude your analysis by explaining why the Leadership and Followership styles and traits you identified are of importance to your future career success in your major program of study (Strategic Leadership), citing your research sources as appropriate.
For this research, use only peer-reviewed and credible sources. News sources, general information Websites, encyclopedias, or other similar sources may not be used.
You may use the sources identified in your bibliography submitted in Unit 1 (see attached Unit 1 bibliography you guys wrote in my last order).

A minimum of 2,000 words excluding the title page and references is required.
