o Behavioral Theory
o Skills Approach
o Your Own Selection
Compare each approach for the following domains using the Historical Leadership Matrix:
o Description
o Primary characteristics
o Strengths
o Criticisms
o Discipline-specific applications
******The matrix is a pre-writing ‘tool’ to use as you analyze literature on a specific topic. Once you have completed the readings, the matrix provides a ‘visual’ of the information to use for evaluation: similarities/differences, pros/cons, etc.
Complete the Historical Approaches matrix located in Appendix A of the Example Paper and list the references in the references section of the Example Paper.
Submit the Example Paper with a properly formatted title page, properly formatted references, and the completed matrix in Appendix A.
