You should write the case study in such a way that you start your answers from line 1. That is, there is no need for large introductions that we see in essays. You should apply the principles you have learned from lecture material/tutorials/readings that are specific to the case study. Case study 2 answers should be written in narrative form (i.e. sentences not bullet points).
Individual Case Study 2
Use the Ridgeway case information from Case Study 1.
Required: Based on your analysis of Ridgeway in Case Study 1, you are now required to continue your analysis of the leadership issues unfolding by answering the following questions. Use the same list of issues and assumptions from Case Study 1 where necessary.
1. In reference to Chapter 10 of Northouse (2016), Reading 12 by Sun (2013), what aspect of servant leadership might work for Susan given the context and examples presented in the case (500-600 words)
2. In reference to Chapter 11 of Northouse (2016) and Reading 13 by Gagnon et al. (2012), how would you describe the differences between Bens and Susan’s style? In using any additional assumptions from Case Study 1, please explain why these differences exist (500-600 words).
3. Now refer to Reading 15 by Lewis et al. (2014). In what ways do the five paradoxical leadership practices relate to the leadership issues at Ridgeway? What benefits might Susan obtain from learning to apply adaptive leader behaviour? (500-600 words).
4. Based on Chapter 12 of Northouse (2016) and Reading 16 by Rock (2008), there is much to understand about individual behaviour. Using key ideas and theories from these readings, explain the possibilities underpinning Wong’s leadership style? (500-600 words).
Please Note: Use a minimum of 7 references (including the one’s listed above) to support your answer

Guidelines for late Assignments
Due to fairness and equity for all other students who submit their assignments on time, if a student submits an assignment after the due date without (prior) approval of the examiner then a penalty of 5% of the total marks gained by the student for the assignment may apply for each working day late up to ten working days at which time a mark of zero may be recorded.
If you require an extension for a legitimate reason (e.g. ill health, personal circumstances not including work commitments, or for some other critical reason), please seek an extension on or before the due date by writing to the course examiner listed earlier.
