C. Along with the ones discussed in B you can choose at least two of Situational, Transformational, Authentic, Adaptive for each issue.
I will be looking for your understanding of the theories which means your ability to explain the tenets of these theories through the lens of your textbook. You may add other research but I am primarily looking for your citations and references from Northouse. I have been stressing this all semester.
Your application of the tenets of these theories to the social issue you have identified. This requires you to discuss all aspects of the social issue and the traits, skills etc. that will be needed to lead effectively through this situation. You can add specific examples from leaders in the society today to support your points.
Your analysis of the effectiveness of these leadership theories in leading effectively. You will be responding to the question :Why?
Why would these theories help a leader to lead effectively in this situation?
