Required Elements: Comparative Analysis You will conduct a comparative analysis of your two research articles, discussing which article has more face validity, that is, seems to be a more accurate or powerful influencing agent on leadership. You will use a critical eye to evaluate and draw conclusions about which of the two variables you researched (either personality, age or gender) is a stronger predictor of leadership style, using arguments presented in your articles (primarily) and illustrations from your own work experience (secondarily). Make sure to address the following questions in your analysis. How did your understanding of leadership change when you considered the main points of each of your articles? Which variable do you think is more influential on a persons leadership style and why?
