This website is one of the final projects for Dr. Bullock’s Political Science Seminar Leaders Versus Entrepreneurs. POL 452 focuses on finding the similarities and differences of great leaders and entrepreneurs over time. Using the two textbooks Leadership: Theory and Practice by Peter G. Northouse and Entrepreneurship: A Very Short Introduction by Paul Westhead and Mike Wright, along with case studies of people like Ralph Nader, Oprah, Gandhi, Lois Gibbs and others; we ask what makes successful leaders and entrepreneurs? The class was broken into five units: 1. Introduction, 2. Political Leadership and Entrepreneurship, 3. Economic Leadership and Entrepreneurship, 4. Social Leadership and Entrepreneurship and 5. Synthesis. Over the course students wrote reflection essays about the units which are posted here. The class finishes with a 20-25 page research paper about the strengths and weaknesses and successes and failures of leaders and entrepreneurs about a topic that students choose individually.
