Discuss  the specific leadership theories and styles that support your  definition of a public leader. Provide a rationale to support your  answer.

Create a ten to twelve (11) slide presentation in which you:

1. Create a title slide and references section (as indicated in the format requirements below).
2. Narrate each slide using detailed speaker notes with your  presentation.
3. Briefly summarize your idea of a public leader. Cite experiences and research to support your assertions.
4. Discuss  the specific leadership theories and styles that support your  definition of a public leader. Provide a rationale to support your  answer.
5. Discuss  gender diversity in the workplace, including the increasing numbers of  women in the workplace and leadership positions. What are the main  barriers to women’s political participation and expression? What is the  role of government and political parties to address this gap?
6. Predict three (3) public leadership trends that you believe will be particularly significant within the next decade.
7. What  is the most important idea that you have learned in the course? How can  you apply what you have learned? What will you do with whom, where,  when, and, most important, why?
8. Include  at least four (4) peer-reviewed references (no more than 1 year old)  from material outside the textbook. Note: Appropriate peer-reviewed  references include scholarly articles and government websites.  Wikipedia, other wikis, and any other websites ending in anything other  than “.gov” do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Include  a title slide containing the title of the assignment, the student’s  name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The title  slide is not included in the required slide length.
• Include  a reference slide containing the sources that were consulted while  completing research on the selected topic, listed in APA format. The  reference slide is not included in the required slide length.
• Format  the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide, two to three  (2-3) colors, two to three (2-3) fonts, and two to three (2-3) relevant  graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art, etc.), ensuring that the  presentation is visually appealing and readable from eighteen (18) feet  away. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Slides should abbreviate the information in no more than five or six (5 or 6) bullet points each.
• Slide titles should be based on the criteria being summarized (e.g., “Four Key Attributes,” “Responses to Budget Issues,” etc.).
