solved The purpose of the case study assignment is to identify

The purpose of the case study assignment is to identify leadership issues related to a public safety event. It should focus on a current leadership issue in homeland security or public safety that occurred no more than five years ago. You will assess the issue and develop a plan for addressing it. The case study issue will lead to the Research Paper where you develop a plan to resolve the issues identified. Make sure the case study is leadership based and not just a problem. The more issues you identify with the leader(s) involved in the event, the easier the research paper will be. Do not attempt to solve the problems identified in your case study here, save all of that for the research paper.
Do the following:

Make sure the case study is leadership based and not just a problem
Pick a historic or current leadership issue in your discipline or major that occurred no more than five years ago
Select a public safety event which you will use as a lens through which you will assess applicable leadership issues associated with the actions leaders took in response to the event.
Incorporate the course materials into your assessment of leadership issues, i.e., apply what you have learned about leadership so far to how leaders responded to your chosen event.

Avoid the following:

Confusing an “issue” with an “event.” Pick an event, such as a natural and man-made disaster, terrorist attack, civil uprising, etc.
Selecting an organization as the subject of your Case Study (remember to pick a public safety event)
Conducting an organizational assessment (don’t confuse an organizational with leadership assessment)
Identifying technical, management and/or organizational deficiencies and describing them as leadership issues (refer to Week 2 lecture notes, especially Table 2.1, to identify true leadership issues)
Attempting to solve the problems identified in your case study here (save all of that for the research paper)
