Pick a Manager Homework

Do this report in a PowerPoint format.

In this manager assignment, you will need to do some research.  Pick either Yvon Chouinard or Meg Whitman.  Do some research on them.  Do NOT just go to wikipedia!  ( I will know it and be upset if you do.)

• What skills does the manager have? 

• What management styles does the manager use? 

• What motivational theory best describes the manager's approach? 

• What does the manager do to lead?  How do you evaluate the manager? 

You must answer this question: What have you learned that you will do as a manager? 

The paper is due at the beginning of the first class of the week.  This homework assignment will be counted towards the student's participation grade.
