Leadership Theories

For this assignment, you will apply the two leadership theories discussed this week to a human services organization of your choice.

This can be the same agency as the one that will be the focus of your Signature Assignment. Assume you have been asked to present during a training meeting for newly appointed leaders of this agency.

First, briefly describe the social service agency[1] with which you are familiar. Be sure to include the mission and goals of the agency, the population(s) it serves, and the organizational structure of the agency.
Apply either the path-goal or leader-member exchange theory to the agency. Determine which approach you think best describes how the agency is managed and explain why.
Explain whether this approach results in the best outcomes for the clients served. Recommend best practices to ensure ethical standards are upheld during client service delivery.
Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists and should cite material appropriately. Add audio to each slide using the Media section of the Insert tab in the top menu bar for each slide.

Support your presentation with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.

Length: 12-15 slides (with a separate reference slide)

Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide
