The assignment is to write a research paper that uses a
recognized leadership theory and use that to describe how that leadership
theory would apply to a nonprofit organization’s executive director
(CEO). I am interested in having you think about the organizational
structure of your nonprofit (or any nonprofit), the staffing, the type of board
of directors, and the mission of the organization and then consider
a current leadership theory and how it might be helpful in
enhancing the leadership capacity of the ED. You will establish a connection between the leadership of
your selected nonprofit and a leadership theory you believe to have the
potential to strengthen the leadership capacity of your organization.
Some
leadership theories from which you might want to choose are described in these
books:
1. The
Leadership Challenge by Kouzes and Posner
2. Adaptive Leadership by Ronald Heifetz and others
3. Leaders: Strategies for Taking Charge by Burt
Nanus and Warren Bennis
4. Primal Leadership (Emotional Intelligence) by Daniel
Goleman, Richard Boyatzes, and Annie McKee
5. Appreciative Inquiry by David Cooperrider
This is a research paper and should demonstrate your ability to seek
information outside the assigned readings from this class. As
graduate students, you are expected analyze material and not simply
regurgitate what you have read.
