You are to address the assignment in two parts.
Working in groups of 4 to 5 members, you are to produce
1) A 12 to 15 minute powerpoint presentation, and
2) A Group Report (no longer than 1200 words) on the following:

Task:
Each group will select a leader or well-known public figure of their choice.
The selected figure can be a political or historical figure, business person, sports personality,
celebrity, influencer or other well-known figure. Choose a figure about which much will have
been written. Examples might include:
 Ghandi,
 Nelson Mandela,
 Martin Luther King, and so on.

In the course of their career or lifetime, this person will have demonstrated exceptional political
skills and exceptional personal resilience.
You may use one leader to address both parts of the assignment or you may choose to use two
different figures to address each part of the assignment.

Section A: Focus Political Intelligence

Based on your understanding of political intelligence:
1) Provide a brief introduction and rationale for selecting your chosen leader/person.
2) Explain what we mean by political intelligence and in what ways this person displays or
lacks this attribute, drawing out their key leadership and EI Traits. Provide supporting
examples/evidence from documented records about this person to substantiate your
response.
3) What recommendations would you make for this person to improve their political
intelligence?

Section B. Personal Resilience

2) Explain what we mean by Personal Resilience and in what ways this person displays or
lacks this attribute, drawing out the links to their EI. Provide supporting

Structure for the Group Report
The structure of your report should follow the following format:
1) Project Summary (120 words maximum): Explain the purpose of the project and what
you will discuss.

4) Individual critical reflections on Group work (110 words): This section is to be
answered individually. Each of you will write about your experience of doing group
work. Your answer might:
a. Describe the dynamics of the group and explain how well you were able to work
together e.g. you may want to discuss how your TEIQue profile or social style
(Bolton and Bolton) impacted on how you performed within the group.
b. What new knowledge or skills did you gain from working in a group in terms of
your own political intelligence and personal resilience? How will you use these
in the future?
5) Concluding remarks and group reflections (110 words): This section should provide a
summary of your report and the group’s combined reflections on what worked well,
what did not work so well and what you would do differently in terms of the group’s
resilience.

Note: The suggested word count for each section is intended to serve as a guideline for how
you might structure your report.

Structure for the Powerpoint Presentation

The structure of your presentation should include the following:
1) Introduction
2) Your answer to Section A: Q1, Q2 and Q3.
3) Your answer to Section B: Q1, Q2 and Q3.

questions about the presentation. You should select your most confident presenters to
present.
