KQ1 and KQ2 are deliberately open questions. KQ1 is

designed to stimulate candidates’ thinking about the

kinds of things that they believe affect and constrain

the actions of leaders. Candidates will then build on

their thinking as they respond to Q2 by developing

their ideas with reference to their reading and research

on leadership theory. They might explore whether the

different leadership models have anything to say

about how different kinds of leaders respond to their

circumstances. It would also be useful for candidates

to explore the concept of ‘success’ and what we mean

when we talk about “successful leadership” or

“successful leaders”.
