Assignment 7B

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.
