Application: Leadership Theories and Styles
"Leadership is one of the most observed and least understood
phenomena on earth."
—James MacGregor Burns, political historian, in
Leadership
(1978)
Throughout history, scholars have developed theories to explain
the traits, behaviors, and goals of effective and ethical
leadership. A leader's personality and the leadership theory he
or she follows influence his or her leadership style. Leadership
style refers to the traits, skills, and behaviors a leader exhibits
in situations. John Lewis, a civil rights activist, was a leader in
the U.S. Civil Rights Movement and regularly demonstrated
ethical and caring behavior as well as a desire to help others.
For this Application, you evaluate the degree to which John
Lewis's style reflected a particular leadership theory.
Review “Eras of Mainstream Leadership Theory and Research."
Consider the similarities and differences among the great man,
trait, contingency, transformational, servant, and multifaceted
leadership theories. Also, think about how to choose which
leadership style to use.
Review the article "Ethical Leadership: A Review and Future
Directions." Consider the similarities and differences among
transformational, spiritual, authentic, and ethical leadership
theories.
Review the video
Minds That Matter: John Lewis

leadership theory best describes this style.
The assignment (2 pages): Due by Sunday 11/01/15.
