Overview of Chapter Questions. There are 8 chapters in your leadership text. There
are eight chapter questions assignments (this is one of them), which correspond to each
of the chapters. You will complete one set of chapter questions after reading each
chapter and then upload each set to Blackboard before the cutoff date and time specified
in the syllabus.
My expectations are a minimum of 3-pages (single-spaced, 12 point font) for each set
of chapter questions. Your chapter questions are listed below.
