Discussion 2

For your Discussion this week, research the Business Source Complete database in the Walden Library for interesting and compelling articles on the topic of leadership styles. For assistance on how to use the Walden Library, consult the document Walden University Library Tips and Tricks, which can be located by clicking on the Learning Support Docs link in the course navigation menu in the online classroom. Then, select an article from the library that resonates with you. You need to access the full text of the article, and it should be more than 2 pages in length. Do not worry if the article you select has a complicated research design (e.g., describes complex quantitative research techniques), as usually the introduction and summary conclusion pages have interesting concepts and findings to discuss.

Most of the articles you find in Business Source Complete will provide a PDF of the article. For the water cooler activity, it is preferable to attach the PDF of the article to your post. If the article you find in Business Source Complete only provides the full text as an HTML file, paste the HTML file in a Word document and attach it to your post.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 5

Post the author(s) and title of the article on leadership style(s) that you found interesting. Provide a paraphrased summary, in your own words, of what the article says about leadership style(s), why you chose it, and what you learned from it, relative to what you have studied this week and throughout the course to date about leadership in business settings. Include the article as attachment to your post.   300 words APA format due in 8 hours
