Students will choose between 2 paper options.
Option 1: Choose a book on leadership. Write a paper in which you consider the nature of leadership, the significance of the concepts presented in the book, and implications for practice and application. Your paper should also include a discussion on which leadership theories (review Ch. 2 of your text) are represented in the book you chose. You must receive permission from me for your book choice. Be sure to submit your choice early (via email). I can also offer suggestions. The paper should be written as a scholarly argument, not a personal reflection on the book’s topic or author.
Option 2: Choose one of the leadership theories presented in Chapter 2 of your textbook. Write a scholarly argument in which you explore the history and development of the theory, and implications for practice and application
