Before beginning work on this discussion forum, please review the link Doing Discussion Questions Right, the expanded grading rubric for the forum, and any specific instructions for this topic.
From the bulleted list below, select one topic on which you will lead the discussion in the forum this week. Early in the week, reserve your selected topic by posting your response (reservation post) to the Discussion Area and identifying your topic in the subject line. By the due date assigned, research your topic and start a scholarly conversation as you respond with your initial or primary post to your own reservation post in the Discussion Area. Make sure your response does not duplicate your classmates’ responses.
- Compare the Trait and Skill approaches to the Style approach. Where do the approaches overlap? Where do they diverge?
- Compare the Style approach to the Situational approach. Where do the approaches overlap? Where do they diverge?
- Research the Contingency Leadership Model (Fiedler), the Situational Leadership Model (Hersey & Blanchard), and the Path-Goal Model (House). Compare the models, including implications for leadership development.
- Research the Leadership Challenge model (see Supplemental Lecture pdf in the assigned readings of this week as a starting point).
As the beginning of a scholarly conversation, your initial post should be:
- Succinct—no more than 500 words.
- Provocative—use concepts and combinations of concepts from the readings to propose relationships, causes, and/or consequences that inspire others to engage (inquire, learn). In other words, take a scholarly stand.
- Supported—scholarly conversations are more than opinions. Ideas, statements, and conclusions are supported by clear research and citations from course materials as well as other credible, peer-reviewed resources.
For grading:
- The reservation post and initial post are assessed in the rubric line item “Quality of initial posting.”
- Neither the reservation post nor the initial post count toward days of participation.
- Follow-up posts made throughout the week to your classmates and professor will apply to participation points in the rubric.
- All the posts will be assessed for writing mechanics and information literacy. Be sure to review the expanded rubric for more details on grading criteria.

Comprehensive Exam Prep
Looking ahead in your DBA program, the final step in the course sequence is a comprehensive exam. Students must successfully pass the comprehensive exam before moving on to the dissertation phase.
Your preparation for the comprehensive exam should have already started via your study in previous courses, self-documentation of your learning, and completion of the reflection journals with your mentor.
For the Week 3 paper, you will provide an annotated outline that:
- Segments the OB field into at least three broad categories. You may have more than three categories, but the minimum for this assignment is three. For example:
- Individual
- Group/Team
- Organizational/Environmental
- Provides a set of core topics beneath each of the broad categories. At this point in your doctoral development, you must have at least five core topics for each category (thus, a minimum of fifteen total). You may have more than five topics for each category (and eventually you will in your preparation for the exam!) but the minimum for this assignment is five topics for each of your categories (or, at least a total of fifteen topics if you have more than three categories).
- Integrates one annotated resource (key author—with brief description or bullet points of important points the author makes about the topic) for your fifteen core topics. You may provide more than one resource per topic, but you must have at least one resource each for a minimum of fifteen topics.
- Synthesizes key learning from working on the guide, next steps you will take working on your guide, and potential benefits beyond comprehensive exam preparation.
