This activity requires that you develop a leadership case of your own. Specifically, you'll be expected to develop (i. e., "make up") a case that requires the application of some of the leadership principles we’ve discussed over the course of the semester to real-life situations. It is expected that your case will be substantive in nature and will, by means of the discussion it is intended to generate, provide valuable insight into the effective practice of leadership concepts. The case you develop need not be particularly long (1/2 to 3/4 of a page, single spaced, will suffice), but it will need to be integrative -- meaning that it’ll need to deal with several of the leadership concepts we’ve discussed. Concepts discussed:
(1) the trait theorists (2) Katz (3) Blake & Mouton (4) Hersey & Blanchard (5) House (6) the LMX theorists (7) the transformational leadership theorists (8) the authentic leadership theorists (9) the servant leadership theorists (10) the adaptive leadership theorists, and (11) the followership leadership theorists

Onsider the following subscription behavior information from genie, a web site that provides tools for constructing a family tree (ancestor search). subscriptions cost $9.99 per month, but you are charged for the entire year at the time of purchase. there is a one-year minimum term when you sign up for the service. once purchased, subscriptions are set to renew automatically unless the subscriber cancels them. when a membership renews, it renews for a one-year term and again you are charged for the entire year. there are no variable costs associated with providing this service to an individual customer, but genie does engage in customer relationship activities that they believe will increase customer retention. these customer relationship activities cost genie about $10 per year per customer. based on a sample of 1000 customers that joined genie five years ago, near the time when the company was founded, they were able to determine how many of those customers remained subscribers in the second year, third year etc. based on this information, genie calculated the average annual retention rate to be 20%. genie uses an annual discount rate of 8%. a. last year, genie spent $10,000 placing advertisements on google. genie management believes that these advertisements were responsible for about 300 new subscribers. would you recommend to genie management that they purchase more google ads? b. suppose a newly-introduced loyalty program increases the number of customers that remained to 30%. does this new data change your answer to 9.a? c. do you have any hesitations or concerns about making recommendations to management based on your above estimate of customer lifetime value?
