Leadership Theory Application
Leadership Theory Application
Description of assignment: This assignment will provide you with the opportunity to
see the relevance and application of theory to your practice. So often theory is
disregarded as useless information, when actually, all nursing actions are based on
some theory. In this assignment you choose any leadership theory covered in this
week’s readings or the powerpoint, and provide one detailed example of how you
would apply this theory in your current nursing position. The length of this assignment
should be no longer than 2-3 pages of text, double-spaced, using APA format as
appropriate. Be sure to include a title page and reference page.
Part 1: Identify a leadership theory from your assigned readings for this assignment. In
1-2 pages or less concisely describe the main premises of the theory and provide
some analysis. Find two outside journal articles or reputable websites that
describes/applies/relates to this theory. Ideally when writing about theory, an original
source by the theorist is best.
Part 2: In 1-2 pages, provide a scenario you encounter at work and how you would
apply this theory to you practice.
