I have a project report about The problems of Using AI to improve academic performance, and we are required to make a report on this problem, so I want you to write to me only 1-Executive summary and 2- introduction about the problem. We made a survey for the students to ask them about their use of AI to improve academic performance, I want this point to be mentioned in the executive summary.
I want just 2 references. Both the executive summary and the introduction must be between 150-200 Words

Please respond to the below post:
This week′s discussion topic asks us to discuss a proposed dissertation topic, including what we are looking to study and why. After much consideration, I believe I have zoned in on a topic of interest. My proposed dissertation topic is “What is the impact of emotional intelligence and leadership style on employee engagement and retention among young professionals with postgraduate degrees.” However, I’m unsure if I want to focus on young professionals with postgraduate degrees or just professionals with postgraduate degrees. I may even drop young professionals and postgraduate degrees altogether and focus on the impact of emotional intelligence and leadership style on employee engagement and retention. However, this research is particularly relevant for organizations that employ young professionals with postgraduate degrees, as it aims to understand the factors that influence their engagement and retention.
I would appreciate receiving feedback from all of you regarding my current proposed dissertation topic. I have always been fascinated by the influence of emotional intelligence and leadership style on employee engagement and retention. I believe that this subject is relevant and has the potential to benefit organizations grappling with challenges related to employee engagement and retention. When selecting a dissertation topic, I wanted to choose one that would help organizations through additional research.
I wish to study this subject to enhance my comprehension and gain expertise in assessing the relationship between emotional intelligence and leadership style regarding employee engagement and retention. My ultimate objective is to offer consultancy services to organizations on this subject.

Module 14: Discussion
This week, we learned about different types of leadership directives and leadership styles.

Read the case given and answer the questions:
Momena was the first of her family to go to college and, after working in a reputed organization for a few years, she got into her first-choice graduate program. During her first semester, Momena was seen as mature, professional, and well-organized. Concerns emerged during the spring semester; she seemed distracted when on campus and was absent from organization more days than she was present. She was working on a paper, but progress was slow, and in March Momena failed to turn in a draft on the date promised. Her advisor Dr. Ali assumed that more structure was needed, so she began to set very explicit expectations for products with specific deadlines attached. During their meetings, Momena was enthusiastic about her projects and eagerly promised to get the work done. However, the pattern of failing to deliver kept repeating itself. Finally, after an extended stretch when Momena was absent from the organization and had missed a deadline for a draft, Dr. Ali called her in to ask if she was serious about her work. Momena teared up and revealed that her mother was seriously ill, and she had been driving the three hours back home every weekend for the last several months to help her family. She had thought it inappropriate to mention her family crisis, not wanting to acknowledge that her personal life was interfering with her graduate studies. She asked Dr. Ali if she should withdraw from the program.

Leaders Can’t Lead Without Followers
Introduction
Leaders need to remember what they feel will affect their choices and ultimately show up as actions. Don’t expect followers to act like leaders who fail to model acceptable actions and values. Though it’s a fine beginning to start with, his terrible attitude—and maybe that of various other leaders, assuming he was right—might not be the main factor in their lack of success. Reliance on their interests, bystanders are freeloaders who exhibit a certain level of detachment (Northouse, 2022). Several people care about the issue and spend time and resources on it to have an influence. Activists are highly involved, deeply committed to individuals and the project, and ready to voice their opinions.
Behavior Defining a Follower
Among the Zaleznik, Kelley, Chaleff, and Kellerman typologies, the one behavior that defines a follower is Zaleznik’s typology, which highlights the psychological dynamics between leaders and followers; followers often display a dependent orientation in which they look to leaders for guidance and approval. The idea of “mirroring,” in which followers emulate the actions and demeanor of their leaders, is presented by Kelley’s typology, which highlights compliance and conformity as characteristics that distinguish followers (Juchnowicz & Kinowska, 2018). Conversely, Chaleff suggests a more proactive approach for followers, promoting brave followership marked by responsible criticism and responsibility (Williams, 2021). In exploring the subtleties of followership, Kellerman emphasizes how followers may facilitate and even sustain dysfunctional leadership.
Leadership Style
The leadership style suited for Zaleznik’s typology following is transformational leadership. Transformational leaders enthuse and inspire their followers by establishing a common goal, promoting creativity, and giving people the confidence to express their ideas (Riggio, 2022). Transformational corporate leaders promote open communication and appreciate the opinions of those they follow, which fosters an atmosphere in which constructive criticism is not only welcomed but actively encouraged. Under transformative leadership, constructive criticism among followers has several beneficial effects on the company (Williams, 2021). It is imperative to note that since many viewpoints are considered and integrated into decision-making processes, it fosters a culture of critical thinking and creativity and lessens the probability of making poor or immoral judgments by minimizing confirmation bias and groupthink.
How Leaders Develop Followership
Notably, making whatever conditions that the team has agreed upon extremely obvious is one of the most important ways to foster successful followership. These might include ranging from grasping the most essential business KPIs among all parties involved to avoiding multitasking throughout calls to conferences. Followers are considered to collaborate as long as all parties understand and abide by the commitments, regardless of what they may be (Williams, 2021). When there are commitments breached and no one speaks out or takes action, the organization’s culture quickly deteriorates. If the CEO was violating one of the commitments that everyone had agreed upon, the least senior worker should feel empowered to address them respectfully. This is an example of a strong business culture.
Conclusion
In light of the above, followers are not created by true leaders. They provide their followers the ability to take the initiative. One learns how to be a successful manager. The key components of effective leadership are emotional resilience, compassion, open communication, and an inspirational vision. One conduct that speaks to the spirit of followership is the capacity to provide constructive criticism. This activity contributes to organizational success and ethical leadership by demonstrating followers’ readiness to raise issues, provide other viewpoints, and question choices when appropriate.
