In the readings, "What's Authentic Leadership" and "Discovering Your Authentic Leadership" the authors discuss the characteristics of authentic leadership which is a theoretical perspective that is popular today.  

Identify a contemporary business leader that you think embodies all (or most) of these qualities well.  Support your position with an analysis of the Authentic Leadership characteristics provided in the resources by giving examples and providing evidence from business publications, popular press articles, or news pieces (cite your sources).  Be specific in your analysis of characteristics.

Rather than Googling "authentic leader," I encourage you to think about a well-known business that you like/support, and do research on a high-ranking leader in that company to learn something new about a leader where the name may be unfamiliar to you (and us).
