Your Final Paper will use leadership theory to address the issues of Corin Fiske at WEAA, including the
following:
What are the issues faced by Corin Fiske at WEAA? (I attached the case study)
Given the financial circumstances at WEAA, ideal options like paying volunteers or hiring and paying
show producers are out. Instead, Corin Fiske will need to rely on her leadership abilities to address
the issues. Keep in mind that Corin Fiske can’t simply add more duties on top of what she is currently
doing.
So Fiske is already on a nonsustainable path—so as you plot out a plan—you need to develop some kind of
reconceptualization of her time use, including how she can stop doing some of what she current is
doing. That’s something you need to think through.
Identify which Leadership Theories that you think help provide the best guidance in determining how
Corin Fiske might approach her challenges at WEAA. Apply at least three of the nine focused on in the
course: I’ve chosen Leader-Member Exchange Theroy, Transformational Leadership, and Situational
Leadership. I’ve attached descriptions of each.
For each leadership theory be sure and explain the theory and how it would be used to apply to one (or
more) of the issues facing Corin Fiske, and then develop from that a recommended course of action. The
theories should fit together coherently. If you find theories are in conflict with each other regarding
the course of action or emphasis, point it out, and indicate the direction you’d recommend and why.
While I am familiar with the theories and the case, always provide sufficient evidence, so that the
reader clearly understands your line of reasoning, and make sure that your application of Leadership
Theories is done with sufficient clarity and detail.
Remember every week you’ve explored how theories apply to the case—that prior work along with the
feedback you’ve received will often be an important building block as you put this paper together. (I
attached these for reference as well if needed)
Your paper should have an introduction—that overviews the case and your use of leadership theories to
approach it. (approx.. 1/2 pages)
Then develop in detail the issues faced by Corin Fiske at WEAA (approx. 1/2 pages)
Then organize the paper in a manner that clearly addresses issues while bringing in appropriate
leadership theories with clarify and detail. (approx. 2 pages)
Note consistency or conflicts across the theoretical approaches (1/2 page)
Summarize the key findings and likely outcomes in your view from following your advice (1/2 page)
