Leadership Theories

This paper is third WI designated assignment and builds on the previous paper. Based on the feedback from the OB Project – Part 1 you will now produce
another essay, that is a 2-3 page written report (excluding title page, references and any figures, tables or appendices). Each paper will include an APA
formatted title page and a separate References page. Do not include an abstract, table of contents, or appendixes. The primary topics included in this paper
are as follows: Providing a brief overview of the problem (3-4 sentences), the following:
Theoretical Lens – The topic:Leadership Theories , apply that topic to the your chosen organization and the problem developed in OB Project- Part

  1. Describe very specifically how the concepts, principles, and findings represented in the topic matter to the problem, and how they can be leveraged to articulate a solution. [about 1 page]
    Recommendation – Provide a list (at least three) of very specific recommendations/action steps that flow out of the discussion of the topic and that can
    help solve the problem. In thinking about how to craft the topic into those recommendations, strike a balance between being practical and being bold. Every
    organization has key constraints (culture, organizational stakeholders, and competitive environment) that need to be taken into account when designing
    interventions. Although those should be considered, resist the urge to “play it safe”, as that tendency often leads to modest interventions that are ultimately
    ineffective. [about 1 page]
    All work submitted for grading shall be of collegiate quality, language, depth and organization. All work should be proofread, free of grammatical errors,
    include proper citations, and be in accordance with The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed. (APA Ch 2, 8-10). Please refer
    to the grading feedback for your first part of the project to avoid making the same APA mistakes again.

Leadership theories

 

Present research on the major leadership theories studied within the course;
Apply Leadership in Theory and Practice to a leadership initiative/endeavor within thecandidate’s home institution or in an educational setting. For example, if you have started a new initiative, or had to make a change within your organization, then how did your leader (or you) address that within the organization. Are there examples of traits, skills, behaviors, servant leadership, situational leadership, transformational leadership, etc. that were utilized or observed during that experience? Simply make connections and apply the appropriate leadership theories covered in the course to the leadership initiative within your own organization.
Report on the outcomes of that initiative based upon your observations, interviews, and first hand involvement;
Include an overall reflection on candidate’s own leadership style in relation to the results from the numerous surveys such as: Leadership Trait Questionnaire, Skills Inventory, Blake & Mouton Leadership Inventory, the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) Form 5X-Short, and/or the Ethical Leadership Style Questionnaire (Short Form), etc.
Lastly, address topics associated with leadership such as motivation, ethics, and the concept of authority. (Can be embedded or addressed separately.)
