MGMT 5273 Week 7 Assignment: Comparative Leadership Paper
Assignment 3: Comparative Leadership Paper – 300 points
Each student will write a paper comparing and contrasting Machiavellian leadership with either transformational, authentic, or servant leadership theory (student’s choice).
Following an introduction with a thesis statement, the student will:
- Define and describe Machiavellian leadership and the chosen leadership theory and compare and contrast how a leader using each style would differ on three major themes: communication, motivation, and organizational change, and
- Evaluate the impact each leadership style would have on a leader’s perspective of environmental scanning, strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and evaluation and control. Finally, the student will summarize their findings with a concise conclusion.
A sample APA paper will be provided to assist the student with formatting. The student will cite the textbook, a minimum of three articles from peer-reviewed journals, Scripture, and the book The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli.
The paper will be between 2400-3000 words in length (at least 8 typed pages), not including the title or reference pages. The paper will be evaluated using the Comparative Leadership Paper Rubric.
