At the beginning of Part 3 type the name of the leader who you interviewed, the person’s job title, and company name. Your interview can be in person, via phone, or virtually.
In this section you will need to contact one individual who has a leadership role in any company or organization.

More specifically, based on the information that you shared from watching each of your four videos, what did the leader who you interviewed agree with and what different or additional opinions did he or she have regarding the topic in the video?
After your interview, type a one paragraph summary of the comments that the leader shared with you regarding each of the four videos that you viewed. Label each of the leader’s summary comments as above: V-1: Type in one paragraph what you learned from the leader’s comments about that first video that you talked to them about. Then repeat this process for the remaining three videos. Each paragraph should contain between six and eight detailed sentences. When you complete Part 3 you will have 4 detailed paragraphs.
Again: Important Note: Your interview can be by phone, virtually, or in person.
