Homework
IN ADDITION to reading the Clawson article in full prior to Saturday’s class… here’s the additional “pre-work”/homework for Saturday:
Because there’s A LOT of leadership theory content to cover, and we have only two class sessions to do it, our lectures/discussions will hit the high points on four major theories: Trait, Behavioral/Skill, Situational/Contingency, and Transformational. Specifically, we’ll be covering those in GREEN FONT further below.
So, your first class assignment provides the opportunity to go deeper into a specific theory or approach of greatest interest to you (that is NOT among those highlighted in green).
Assignment:
Once you’ve read the Clawson article, select one of the 6 major theories (and a specific approach within the theory, such as Gardner’s Attributes… that is NOT highlighted in green.) Do some additional reading on your selected theory/approach, enough to get the “gist” and be able to summarize it in your own words. Bring your notes to class; this may include a series of distilled bullet points or full narrative — as long as it summarizes the theory accurately but in your own words.
Your theory/approach options (taken directly from the Clawson article) include those NOT in green font (a.k.a., anything in black is fair game):

Maccoby’s Types
Gardner’s Attributes
