Assignment: Business Administration
Many different leadership theories exist today, and although they are all unique in some ways, many of them have similar characteristics associated with them. For this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation where you will choose three leadership theories to evaluate, compare, and apply to business. Remember, as a scholar-practitioner, you are required to examine theories and research, and then relate them back to practice within the business setting.
For each leadership theory that you select, be sure to address the following:
Provide an overview, including the main characteristics of the theory.
Discuss the origins of the theory, including the seminal theorist, his or her research used to create the theory, and the year the theory was developed.
Discuss how the theory has evolved over time. Who has built on that theory, and what were their additions or modifications to the theory? You can also create a timeline within your presentation to add a visual display to the evolution of the theory.
Compare your three theories to one another. Analyze the similarities and differences among the three chosen theories. You can choose to create a graphic to show the comparison between the theories as opposed to just bullet points and paragraph information.Choose one theory to evaluate in regard to practical use in business. Provide real-world examples of how this leadership theory could be effectively used by leaders in an organization. Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
Support your presentation with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.
Length: 12-15 slides.
