Please discuss about these 5 theories and I am nursing officer in Sri Lanka and add in small personal experience stories in end of the theory. (nursing experience in Sri Lanka)

I choose this 5 for my assignment

Bass (and Avolio)’s Transformational and Transactional Leadership
Hersey and Blanchard’s Situational Leadership Model
Kanter’s Organizational Empowerment Theory
Path-Goal Theory
Servant Leadership Theory

Example: One of newly graduated nurse in our hospital in Sri Lanka, was struggling with medication errors during busy shifts on a medical ward. Recognising this, our clinical nurse manager, applied the Path-Goal Theory to support her. Our nurse manager clarified the goal of improving medication safety and removed barriers by coordinating with doctors to ensure clear and timely medication orders. She provided training and assigned a mentor to guide this new nurse, using a supportive leadership style to build confidence. manager also set achievable goals and acknowledged new nurse progress, motivating her through positive reinforcement. As a result, she performance improved significantly, and the ward experienced a reduction in medication errors.
Please add this kind of small personal experience story for these 5 theories
