Critically compare alternative leadership theories (skills, style and trait approaches) to assess their validity, and their utility in helping to analyse and explain the behaviour of leaders in your organisation

Review the leadership behaviours and approaches that are common in the organisation you work within or one with which you are otherwise familiar. Identify how the role and nature of the organisation, its corporate governance and its operating context and external environment shapes these. 

Critically compare alternative leadership theories (skills, style and trait approaches) to assess their validity, and their utility in helping to analyse and explain the behaviour of leaders in your organisation. In particular, you should consider how these theoretical perspectives are relevant to the ethics, values, knowledge, skills, behaviours and other characteristics expected of effective leaders in the organisation.
