Write an essay (1,250 – 1,500 words) analyzing the unintended consequence(s) of a decision.

3. Identify a subgroup of people in your immediate circle of contact with whom you have the ability to conduct a critical incident technique (CIT) interview regarding their experience with leaders in their own lives.
4. Conduct a minimum of three interviews.
