Comparing theories

Based off the book The Leadership experience 7th edition by Daft. A 3-5 page paper examining TWO theories of your choice to analyze the similarities and differences in the two theories (cover pages are not needed and bibliography pages do not count toward the total).

As you will find, many theories seem similar at first glance, but there are differences in how they were developed and how they are practiced. You should demonstrate a solid understanding of these two theories and be able to analytically process the connections or crossovers between the two. You should also note the specific differences. Finally, you need to provide rationale as to why these theories matter and how they might be applied.

Support your thoughts with course concepts, terminology, and outside credible research.

In your paper, you should:

• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of two different leadership theories
• Draw connections between the two theories
• Explain differences between the two theories
• Be able to explain at least one situation in how these theories could be applied
