Case Study

Our case study in this short course will be Barack Obama`s key leadership traits. In my opinion, Barack Obama has always been a leader in a true sense. Even before becoming the 44^th US President and holding 2 terms at the office, Obama was a prolific politician and was revered by the American public especially from his home state of Illinois and city of Chicago from where he was elected as Senator as well.
