The main point as stated is to look at the leadership qualities- good and bad of Andrew Carnegie. What was his transformational leadership qualities and how did it affect those around him and his employees.
You have the opportunity to select a book that is of interest to you, read it, and provide a review as to how well you think the book does (or does not do) what it was intended. Give some thought to the leadership topics that are of particular interest to you. You may find that you are interested in exploring transformational, situational, or ethical leadership--or that you are interested in learning how these techniques have been applied in real-life in existing companies.
Explore the books that are available on your chosen topic, and select one. I would recommend starting with Amazon. Amazon is also helpful in selecting a book because of the posted user-reviews of the books. These reviews are great in preventing you from choosing an absolutely awful book as well as helping you find something you will enjoy reading. That is key to this assignment! You should ENJOY the book!
Your choice of book should also support the evolution of your Personal Leadership Philosophy framework. You will be asked to consider this book in your final Personal Leadership Philosophy and its influence (and others) on your philosophy. The list below should be a good start as you make your selection.
