Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Define what is a public leader? Cite experiences and research to support your assertions.
2. Based  on your readings, describe and develop an overview of a public  leader—one male and one female—that embody your ideal of a public leader  and the leadership theories and styles that they manifest.
3. Reflect  on the events of the 1990s and the tremendous social and governmental  changes that happened at that time. Discuss the roles of Nelson Mandela,  Desmond Tutu, and F. W. de Klerk in facilitating change, recognizing  diversity, and leading courageously.
4. Discuss  gender diversity in the workplace, including the increasing numbers of  women in the workplace and leadership positions. If you’ve ever had a  leader of another gender, discuss the pros and cons of your experience.
5. Suggest one (1) key strength or weakness that could influence your ability to be a public leader. 
6. Include  at least four (4) peer-reviewed references (at least one (1) must be no  more than 3 months old) from material outside the textbook. Note:  Appropriate peer-reviewed references include scholarly articles and  government websites. Wikipedia, other wikis, and any other websites  ending in anything other than “.gov” do not qualify as academic  resources. 

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be  typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with  one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA  or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional  instructions.
