After learning of the changes about to impact your department at EEST following the Ouest acquisition, you have approached your VP, whom you consider a mentor,

to discuss how best to prepare yourself to guide your staff and meet the expectations of the new management. She has suggested that it might be appropriate to put in some study of different leadership models and to think explicitly about which ones might be effective in such a situation. Research the Library and investigate at least three (3) different leadership models. Use the Discussion Board to:

Describe each model
Identify the situations in which it is considered the most effective
List the advantages and disadvantages of following the model.
