LDR 300  Week 2 Individual Assignment Leadership Theories 

As a leader, you often need to display or clarify a concept. A matrix is a

grid that contains information and offers a visual model of ideas. For

this assignment, you will create a matrix that explains leadership

theories.

Research the following five leadership theories and include these in

your matrix (use the matrix template provided):

• Trait theories of leadership
• Behavioral theories of leadership
• Contingency models of leadership
• Skills approaches to leadership
• Situational methods of leadership

Develop the definition and characteristics of various leadership theories

and approaches to leadership (trait leadership, behavioral leadership,

contingency leadership, skills leadership and situational

leadership). These should have sufficient depth to be able to

demonstrate a good understanding of the theory.

Provide one or more examples to support the definition or

characteristics of each form of leadership. This should be more than

just a further explanation of the theory. It should be an actual example

of how the theory came into play or was demonstrated in a real

situation.

Write out your explanations in each section (a section includes the

description of a particular theory and the examples of it) using about

350 words for each section.Therefore, the overall matrix should have at

least 1750 words in total.

Format your Leadership Theory Matrix with the template and consistent

with APA guidelines.
