    Leadership Theory Analysis Paper
    (2023-10-02) Strong, Jennifer
    Throughout the students learned about leadership philosophies, models, and theories. Some of these have made complete sense and you can see how you can incorporate them into your life and leadership behavior; others might not work with your leadership style/situation. As you have been offered a buffet of leadership this semester, it is ultimately up to you to decide how to apply this to your leadership journey. This activity challenges students to identify a leadership theory they "like" and how they will use it moving forward in their leadership development. It also challenges students to identify a theory they do not "like" and explain why they believe it is not useful and how to modify it to work in their context.
