Select a transformational leader of your choosing. (Barack Obama) Write a 3 page
paper explaining how this leader was transformational in what s/he
accomplished and what traits s/he had that inspired others to follow. You must use direct and indirect quotes(paraphrased) from Northouse.

When you turn in any papers, you will always want to ensure you are
pulling research from the Northouse text and citing in with your
papers. You can do this in a mixture of ways, but both ways should be
happening. Those two ways are through direct quotes from Northouse and
through indirect (paraphrased) quotes. This helps you get in the
practice of writing for your dissertation. I have put some examples
below, as I will be looking for the correct usage and that will be a
part of your points moving forward. Please do reach out if you have any
questions.
Here are key points for using direct quotes for APA style for short quotes (less than 40 words):
Enclose the quote in double quotation marks.
Include the author’s last name, year of publication, and page number
in parentheses after the quote. Use “p.” for a single page and “pp.”
for a range of pages.
Example: “Familiarity with nonnative speech in general, although it
is clearly not as important a variable as topic familiarity, may indeed
have some effect” (Gass & Varonis, 1984, p. 77).
Here are the key points for using indirect quotes in APA style:
An indirect quote is a paraphrase of someone else’s words, where you restate the idea in your own words
When using an indirect quote, do not place the paraphrased text in quotation marks
You must still cite the original source by including the author’s
last name, year of publication, and page number (if available) in
parentheses at the end of the paraphrased text
For example: According to Smith (2019), the literature on this topic shows no clear consensus (p. 4)
The most important things to remember are to cite the original
source and to paraphrase the idea in your own words rather than quoting
directly. This demonstrates your understanding of the material.
