Critically evaluate leadership in Iphone, demonstrating how leadership led to a particular (singular) outcome. Ensure that you focus on one outcome (desirable or otherwise). As you are doing the analysis for a new CEO, assume that they are aware of important information about the company, and that therefore they do not require general background information. ONLY GIVE BACKGROUND INFORMATION THAT IS CLEARLY RELEVANT TO YOUR ANALYSIS. Using theory make reference to practical examples that highlight your analysis and discuss practical areas of improvement where possible. The aim of the report is to critically evaluate leadership and identify how leadership led to a specific outcome in your chosen organisation.

In light of the discussions above, in what areas could you organisation improve? As with the themes, justify improvements theoretically then practically, i.e. explain using sources of analysis the theory behind what you’re suggesting the organisation should do. Explain practically what the organisation should do. Explain theoretically how it will lead to desirable outcomes. What other academic perspectives are there on what you’ve suggested? What are the limitations to your plan? How can they be overcome, or why do they not apply in this instance?
