ESSAY COMPETITION

Plus travel expenses to attend a winners' luncheon hosted by Senator Glenn 
in Washington, D.C. in May 2004 Topic-What is the Essence of Excellent 
Leadership? Leadership has never been more important. Governments, 
businesses, nonprofit organizations, and international alliances all seek 
excellent leaders. Citizens and employees express disappointment in their 
current leaders. Ethical failures of leadership make headlines daily. What 
makes an excellent leader? Are these leaders born or can they be trained? 
Does the essence of excellence in leadership vary between the public and 
private sectors? Is one type of leadership effective on the local level 
while another is  needed for global politics? Are different styles of 
leadership effective or are there essentials of leadership that all 
leaders must embrace? Does history offer useful examples of excellent 
leadership? Do other disciplines, like psychology, economics, political 
science, or management science, inform our concepts of leadership? Is 
leadership changing with globalization, new technologies, or other trends? 
How can we develop the most effective leaders for the next generation? The 
John Glenn Institute for Public Service and Public Policy and the School 
of Public Policy and Management at The Ohio State University invite 
college students worldwide to explore these issues through a public policy 
essay competition. Who is Eligible? Students must be full-time college 
juniors or seniors in accredited U.S. colleges or universities as of 
January 15, 2004. What is the Content of the Essay? Students should write 
a 1,500-word essay addressing the topic question (What is the Essence of 
Excellent Leadership?); the other questions outlined above are an aid to 
thought. The essay may center around one or more of these questions--or

leadership. SUBMISSION DEADLINE:  MARCH 15, 2004
