3 Person Leadership Power Point Presentation – Use of pictures and images to graphically display your analysis of the major themes and
to show biographical portraits, within the PP, recommended.
Prepare a short Power Point Presentation – equivalent to a short research paper Title page and Source page- on the following three people: Former
President of Ireland, Mary Robinson, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, and former Governor of Louisiana, Huey T. Long.
Organize the Powerpoint into sections describing their pertinent biographical elements, historical information, (who they are and what they
did), their political – Leadership – qualities, perhaps looking into their most significant achievement (s) and their ratings/scales of integrity, by example
and your analysis.
17 PowerPoint Slides is sufficient. Be thorough, use pictures and images and base your work on Good, Solid & Accurate facts from the information
you gather. May use books, internet and biographies. 1 Slide should be your Title page, the last Slide should be your works cited (bibliography)
page. Always give credit to your source, within your writing/PP with the use of quotes, or footnotes, or indenting a passage from a book or article, see
the Library website on APA writing for a guide.
Each symbolized Honor, Integrity and Leadership in different degrees.
Examine the concepts and administrative ideologies within the Chapter to augment and to form the foundation of your presentation. Draw upon the
Traits and Characteristics of Leadership.
Short Description of the 3 Leadership Figures Below
Mary Robinson– Elected as the first woman to serve as President of Ireland from 1990-1997. She was appointed to serve in the United Nations
as a High Commissioner of Human Rights and has worked tirelessly to support those that need a voice to save them, women, children and her
native Ireland.
Senator Edward Kennedy – Massachusetts 1932-2009
Huge tip included!!!
One of the longest tenured SenatorÂ’s of our time who is noted for his altruism, Legislative effectiveness and leadership in the U.S. Senate.
Huey P. Long– Former Governor of Louisiana and US Senator. Rising political figure in the 1920’s and 30’s and portrayed in the movie “All the
Kings Men”, as the character Willie Stark.
Watch this movie. It is a great illustration of the kind of politics and government witnessed in the southern part of our country during the 1930Â’s
and sets the tone for the structure of our political environment in the next decade.
“The central character of Willie Stark (often simply referred to as “the Boss”) undergoes a radical transformation from an idealistic lawyer and
weak gubernatorial candidate into a charismatic and extraordinarily powerful governor. In achieving this office Stark comes to embrace various
forms of corruption and builds an enormous political machine based on patronage and intimidation. His approach to politics earns him many
enemies in the state legislature, but does not detract from his popular appeal among many of his constituents, who respond with enthusiasm to
his fiery populist manner.”
