 Leadership and Communication

This assignment will not only help you improve your leadership and communication skills, it will also establish the foundation for other courses you take at CSU-Global.
For this assignment, research the topic of leadership and communication.   Make sure you address the following questions:

1. What communication strategies are associated with effective leadership?
2. What are some barriers to effective communication that a leader should overcome?

Be sure to evaluate the sources you find via the library or open web for credibility.  To make this assignment more meaningful for you, base it on your job or other life experience (perhaps as a volunteer for an organization or as a student at a university) as much as possible. 

Your assignment will be 3-4 pages, in addition to the title and reference pages.  Include all elements listed below in your paper. View the sample paper – Does your paper look like this? to see how these elements should appear. Keep in mind that this assignment structure reflects that of most Critical Thinking assignments at CSU-Global.

Title Page 
You can use the APA Template Word document, which is already formatted in APA style. Just replace the informational placeholders with your information. Write directly into this template and save it as your own paper.
