1. What similarities and differences do you find when comparing the two sources’ research

value to your doctoral journey? The difference between the articles is that Smiths article

which is not really valuable for a scholarly source, discusses the stages that leaders go

through to become an effective leader to the follower, whereas, ballingers article is published

in a credible database and discussed the reactions of loyal followers to the new organizational

leader after the old leader exits a company. There is a use of charts in Billingers’ article but

none is used in Simths’ article. The language is different, Smith uses more everyday

language that is causal and understood by a broader audience, whereas, Billinger’s article

uses language that is more technical, business jargon, specialized and professional.
