Theorectical Perspective

For this assignment, please write a well-formulated paragraph on the theoretical perspective you think is the most prominent for each the 3 leaders identified below. I have provided links to relevant information on each person. Please use ONLY these links and no outside sources (note: points will be deducted for this). Don't be surprised if you find information that reflects each of the three mainstream theoretical perspectives for each person. What you're looking for is the theory that is the most prominent. Which one stands out the most and why? Be sure to demonstrate your understanding of the theoretical perspectives and to include specific evidence (e.g. words and/or actions of the leader) to support your analysis in each paragraph. To organize your thoughts, I recommend using the MEAL plan.

Each of the three paragraphs should be a minimum of 250 words long and quotes should make up no more than 10% of your submission.

Please exclusively use the course materials and the sources provided specifically for this assignment.

Please be sure to put quotation marks around material copied word-for-word from another source and to cite the source. Also, be sure to cite paraphrased information. Please use the Turabian citation style.

Please use 12 pitch, Times New Roman font and 1 inch margins.
