  • Project Part 1

    This milestone will help you to complete Part I of the final project by choosing and analyzing theories of leadership.

    Overview

    You are a manager at a large company. You have been assigned to a mentor. Your mentor is very excited that you are taking this course. Theyve asked you to create and share your own theory of leadership. Your mentor wants to make sure that your personal growth is based on theory and practice. They have asked you to first show the foundation of your leadership approach.

    Directions

    You will choose three theories that you have studied in this course. Your theories should be a combination of classic and contemporary theories. Then select three leaders who exemplify your chosen theories and three leaders who are anti-exemplary. The six leaders can come from your work on the Module Two Discussion, additional research on notable leaders, or a combination of both.

    You will analyze each theory for its strengths and weaknesses. You will then evaluate how the styles of the leaders you have identified are good examples of these theories.

    You will use what you learned in Part I for the second part of the final project. In Part II, you will apply the theories to an organization and explain your personal leadership philosophy.

    Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

    1. Introduction
    2. Introduce your three chosen theories and three chosen leaders that you identified, which align with those chosen theories. Be sure to provide a brief explanation of why you have selected these in particular. How do they apply to your personal leadership style or the development of one?
    3. Analysis of Established Theories
    4. Theories Review
    5. Summarize the major principles of the chosen theories and the potential impact on empowerment and emotional intelligence.
    6. Explain how these major principles look through the lenses of those in the roles of power and influence in an organization.
    7. Theories Critique
    8. Analyze the strengths of the three theories and their potential impacts on the individuals, groups, and organizational levels.
    9. Analyze the weaknesses of the three theories and their potential impacts on the individuals, groups, and organizational levels.
    10. Theories Application
    11. Evaluate the effectiveness of the leadership styles of the leaders who exemplify your selected theories. For instance, what aspects of their leadership styles align with your identified leadership theories?
    12. Evaluate the effectiveness of the leadership styles of the leaders who are the anti-exemplary of your selected theories. For instance, what aspects of their leadership style(s) do not support your identified leadership theories?
    13. Apply the selected leadership theories to your past or present organizational context. This is where you think about the interplay of the selected leadership theories and the individual, group, and organizational levels of your past or present organizational context.
    14. Conclusion
    15. Summarize how the theories can alter organizational decision making in relation to roles of power and influence, especially in relationship to your own personal leadership style.

    What to Submit

    Your submission should be 45 pages in length (in addition to title page and references) and should use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
