Title of Your Essay
Start the first paragraph here, which should introduce your reader to the subject you are writing about. Do not label this paragraph as “Introduction.” Instead, simply write your paper’s title as a level 1 heading: bold, centered, with title case.
Leadership Theory
Spend time planning your paper. A good practice is to brainstorm and research ideas and decide how to express the main idea or thesis and what to include. Once you have a rough idea of what you want to discuss or argue, create an outline or to help you organize your paper and the evidence you plan to present in each body paragraph.

Conclusion
You only need to label the conclusion with a heading as shown here if you have a lengthy paper and have included headings for each section. Otherwise, you can simply begin your conclusion as your final paragraph in your paper. The conclusion should do more than summarize what you’ve stated already—it should also include the importance or significance of the topic under discussion.
