What is the difference between a theoretical model of leadership and a leadership style?

8-10 PowerPoint slides with 200-250 words of speaker notes per slide

At your next luncheon meeting with Rae Marie, Vice President of Operations for MyShoppingSpreeTV, she arrives visibly troubled. She discloses, “I have 17 people reporting to me, and now I have 2 open positions. I feel confident that my people know what they are doing, but I am not sure they trust me. Until I can get this position filled, I have spread out the responsibilities of the open positions to everyone on the team, but, as a department, we seem to get less and less done. As soon as we solve one problem, another one appears. In addition, my boss Jim, keeps adding more to our project list.”
She confides that she is concerned that her employees do not respect her authority. When you inquire about her approach, her personal leadership style, and the methods she uses to influence her employees, she admits that she has not had time to reflect on her leadership style and is not quite sure what you mean. You share with Rae Marie that there are studies of leadership styles and multiple definitions of leadership styles can be found. However, a leadership style can be broadly defined as the manner and approach of providing direction, implementing plans, and motivating people.
Hoping to offer some perspective on the subject, for your next visit, you offer to put together a slide presentation to illustrate theoretical models of leadership related to the methods that leaders use to influence their employees. Your dedication to sharing your knowledge of leadership reassures her that she has a solid resource in you.
In your presentation, do the following:
Analyze the differences between 3 theoretical models related to leadership (one of the theoretical models should be transformational leadership)
Identify the goals of each theoretical model that you have selected
Illustrate the relationship between each of the 3 theoretical models
What is the difference between a theoretical model of leadership and a leadership style?

Use the six questions below for your interview because they are related to community risk reduction methods including occupancy, egress, fire detection, suppression systems, storage, and lighting.
Do you feel all occupants of your establishment can evacuate quickly in the event of an emergency? Why, or why not?
What training or education have you had that ensures you are providing a safe environment for your guests?

Discuss each of the responses you received during the interview to explain the establishment’s risk reduction methods.
Identify any potential or obvious risks associated with the establishment.
Compare your findings to a historical fire from your textbook by explaining how codes developed from that historical fire compare to the codes followed by the establishment your interviewee discussed. Also, explain how previous investigations help to prevent future fires.
You will write a minimum of two pages for this project. Ensure you follow APA formatting and guidelines, including in-text citations for your personal communications with interviewees (proper APA format for personal communication can be found below).

When? What was happening in the world that serves as context for the
document?), analyze the argument, and then explain why the document is
historically significant (what does it tell us about a particular
society or moment in history?)
The key here is to succinctly demonstrate an understanding of the

Quality of historical significance. Does the student explain fully
why the document is historically significant and/or what it tells us
about a particular place and time in history?

Explain how this topic has affected (or not affected) your beliefs about teaching.

Overview
Throughout this course you will be challenged to expand your skills and knowledge in educational psychology as well as develop your teaching beliefs and values. The reflective learning papers allow you to reflect on content in the course.
You will write three (3) reflective learning papers.
In each paper you will include three (3) sections, one for each unit/chapter that you selected from the units available for that paper. For each unit/chapter you will select one topic from the unit/chapter to summarize and reflect on. You may choose anything, but you should select a topic that is covered in some detail in the text so that there is something substantial to discuss.
For example, Assignment 1 covers Units/Chapters 1-4. You will choose three of these four units/chapters to include in the reflective paper. If you choose Units/Chapters 1, 3, and 4 then your paper would have a section for each of these, and each section would be about just one topic.
Units/Chapters covered Select:
Assignment 1 1-4 any 3 of 4
Assignment 2 5-9 any 3 of 5
Assignment 3 10-14 any 3 of 5
In each section of the paper you will
summarize the chosen topic.
reflect on what’s interesting to you about that topic.
discuss how you would incorporate the topic into your teaching.
