This report is a reading and writing exercise and deals with the books of De Pree (Leadership is an art) and Bennis (On becoming a leader). You should read the books as if they actually mean something to you, and then write an essay answering the following questions:

1. What are the main points of the two books respectively regarding leadership?
2. Are there any significant similarities or differences between the two books regarding their view of leadership?
3. How does their view of leadership resonate with your own understanding of leadership?

The result should be an essay covering no more than 1500 words, well developed text (not counting front page and list of references) that really shows that you have read and understood the books. The limited number of words means that you should be really careful about what to include, how to balance your text between the three parts, and, generally, how to write the essay as good as possible. The deadline for this report is the 10th of October, 09.00 and will be delivered digitally.
