create a comparison matrix where you will choose three leadership theories to evaluate, compare, and apply to business, as are required to examine theories and research and then relate them back to practice within the business setting.

For each leadership theory that you select, be sure to address the following:

• Provide an overview, including the main characteristics of the theory.
• Discuss the origins of the theory, including the seminal theorist, his or her research used to create the theory, and the year the theory was developed.
• Discuss how the theory has evolved over time. Who has built on that theory, and what were their additions or modifications to the theory? You can also create a timeline within your assignment to add a visual display to the evolution of the theory.
• Compare your three theories to one another. Analyze the similarities and differences among the three chosen theories. You can choose to create a graphic to show the comparison between the theories as opposed to just bullet points and paragraph information.
