This was the third cases study from my Leadership & Management course. It’s on Andrea Jung, CEO of Avon, as she struggles to revive the cosmetics giants flagging sales.
This paper is the second case study from my Leadership in Management class. It looks at Wendy Kopp’s history leading Teach For America, which you may be surprised to learn was in danger of dying several years after startup (when this case study is set).
This paper is a case study based on Tipping Point Leadership for my Leadership in Management class. It’s set in 1990 and is about the state of the New York Police Department just as Bill Bratton (who you might remember for his “broken glass” approach to crime fighting) is taking over.
This is the first paper I wrote for my Leadership in Management course, which I took second semester senior year. It was a pretty good course, although predictably Republican in its politics. This paper is a summary and analysis of The President, The Pope, and The Prime Minister. It may not be clear from below, but while I found the book interesting because I lack a good education in that time period, it’s also impressively slanted and not something you should take as gospel.

This was the final paper for my Presidential Primaries, Nominations, & Elections class. In it I study the impact of a President’s personality type on his electoral and governing success.

(Such things are hard when you only have 43 samples to look at!) Read more
War Powers are complicated beyond belief for something that seems so simple in the Constitution.
So now we’ve seen the 2008 Presidential election, and we’ve done some reading on the nature of realignment elections. My Presidential Primaries, Nominations, & Elections professor asked us to write a paper on whether this year’s Presidential election should be considered a realignment election. Read more
I loved this class (Introduction to Constitutional Law: National Powers). When Prof Thomas spoke it often felt like I had Josh Lyman lecturing me and my ~5 classmates. And if I thought I could have made a living doing nothing but constitutional law I would have gone for it.
