The paper must include a minimum of 5 pages of material (not including the cover page or reference page) and be formatted in APA style (7th edition).
Choose a leadership paradigm that interests you.
There are sub-groups for various leadership theories. Task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership, for example, are both available in behavioral theory; simply choose one to focus on. You don't have to look into every single leadership philosophy that falls under it if you pick relationship-oriented leadership. Consideration, empowerment, servant leadership, and ethical leadership are examples of relationship-oriented leadership. Simply pick one to concentrate on.
