Leadership Theory Paper Milestone #2: Assessing Strengths & Limitations
Review the content requirements for the Leadership Theory Paper. Note that one of the key requirements is to explain the foundational philosophical assumptions and principles of each of the selected leadership paradigms. In this written assignment, take one of the theories you selected for your Leadership Theory Paper (I selected Behavioural Theory, Transformational theory, AND Trait theory, please chose one ) and explain its foundational philosophical assumptions and principles.
You will submit a draft of this written assignment to the Writing Center for feedback in order to become familiar with this resource prior to submitting a draft of your final paper in Week 5. At the doctoral level, you should become accustomed to developing multiple drafts before submitting a complete paper to your instructor – the Writing Center’s paper review option will be a great guide in this continuous improvement process. You will need to submit a draft of this written assignment by Day 3 of Week 3 so you that you have time to make changes and submit a completed paper to your instructor on Day 7.
As you prepare this written assignment for the course, please keep in mind that a successful final draft of any written assignment should be the product of brainstorming, outlining, and writing multiple drafts. Many of the assignments in this course are building blocks toward the final Leadership Theory paper, but it is important to keep in mind that you will need to continually revise your work using the feedback from your instructor as well as the Writing Center as you use these pieces to develop the final draft. University of the Rockies Writing Center is a great service for all students, offering 24/7 live chat support and a 24 hour feedback turnaround for papers and discussion posts. It is suggested that you submit a draft for the Writing Center for this paper, and required of you for the written assignments in Weeks 5 and 6. In addition, continue to leverage Grammarly and Turnitin as you build toward the final paper.

It will be good practice now and in future courses to use RefWorks to organize your sources. If you haven’t done so already, review the RefWorks 2.0 Quick Start Guide (Links to an external site.) and this instruction sheet on setting up a RefWorks account (Links to an external site.).
- Watch the Annotated Bibliography tutorial video(Links to an external site.) from the Writing Center.
- Find five articles that are relevant to your topic for the final paper, which should be scholarly, peer-reviewed journal article sources that are each ten years-old or newer.
- From those five scholarly articles, choose at least three references to use in compiling an annotated bibliography in APA format (6th ed).
- Use this template(Links to an external site.) from the Writing Center to structure your annotated bibliography. Include a title page (see p. 41 of APA Manual, 6th ed.).
