Assess the impact, influence, and importance of leadership styles and philosophy on change. As part of the final project, critique your selected case to assess the leadership style and philosophy exhibited by the change agent. Describe how the leadership philosophy influences and drives institutional change. Draw connections to institutional context. Support your conclusions with course literature and referenced sources. This milestone submission addresses critical element IV, section A (leadership style) and section B (leadership philosophy) of the final project, and it serves as an initial draft for these elements. Substantial instructor feedback will be provided for foundational support of the final project.

As you consider the case study you selected and work through course content, consider ways to build on this milestone submission to expand your analysis, assessment and application of these pieces of the project for your final submission in Module Nine. As you work on your milestone submission, it is important to note that not every aspect of the final project will be addressed by your milestone submission. When preparing your milestone and final project submissions, be sure to support your work with supplemental information and additional resources beyond the required resources and readings.
