Discussion Post

Prior to beginning work on this discussion post, read ONE of the following chapters in your Northouse (2021) textbook:

1. Chapter 8: Transformational Leadership, or
2. Chapter 9: Authentic Leadership, or
3. Chapter 10: Servant Leadership.

You will analyze the leadership model discussed in your chosen chapter in the discussion forum that follows.

In this discussion, you will teach your classmates what you have learned about the leadership theory described in the chapter you chose. For your initial post, create a PowerPoint training presentation of at least 8 slides (not including the title and reference list slides), including at least 50 words of speaker notes for each slide, and citing at least two scholarly sources. Refer to the How to Make a PowerPoint Presentation resource for assistance with PowerPoint. Configure the presentation to teach your classmates the key concepts associated with the leadership approach you selected and the behavioral characteristics most often ascribed to individuals who exemplify this type of leadership.

In the PowerPoint presentation,

Question A. Describe the leadership theory, including notes you would use if you were teaching a group of leaders and managers about the key concepts of the theory.

Question B. Analyze the strengths and the primary criticisms of the leadership theory, including notes you would use if you were teaching a group of leaders and managers.

Question C. Identify those aspects of the theory that appeal to your own application of leadership skills in your professional career, including notes you would use if you were teaching a group of leaders and managers.

Question D. Identify the types of circumstances or organizations in which this approach to leadership would be most effectively practiced, including notes you would use if you were presenting examples of circumstances or organizations in which this approach to leadership would be effectively practiced.
