First : from word (this paper attempted to potential employees)

Her comment:

This paper is based on the research done.. You should be highlighting on your paper is focusing on what. Should relate this to the problem and the need for job description.

Second: in all analysis of the problem part

Her comment:

The literature should be incorporated in the problem and also in the proposed solution where you need to justify why is it a problem and when you proposed a solution it should also be as per agreed by the suggested literature.

 

Proposed solution:

First: In all of this part

Her comment:

Your solution should be related to the problem identified. For example you suggest that there should be job description in the work place.. Therefore state the process of coming up with the job descriptions.

 

Second: in the line number 6 the word (labor)

Her comment:

Are you suing this approach? What are the things that you collect and you need to show how this is being done.

Third: in implementation part

Her comment:

Your proposed solutions should show how you have come what with the job descriptions in detail, whereas in the implementation sections explained how the HR department at the organization will implement this? Are there distributing it to their workers or it is being kept in a manual/ or can it be access in the computer etc.

Two principles form the basis for this assignment. One, in order to know where we want to be, we first must examine where we are. Two, a planned event with stated goals has a better chance of succeeding than those events where goals are virtual and not concrete.

This assignment helps you set goals as you learn how to become an effective organizational change leader or a consultant.

Reflect on how you generally react to change. Common reactions may include, "Oh no!," "Yea, here we go again!," "Oh, well, whatever," "No, and no, and no again," or "Change? What change?" To complete this assignment, you need to complete a free online assessment. Click here to access the online assessment.

Using your textbook readings and scholarly articles from the Argosy University online library resources for research, respond to the following:

• Describe your general reaction when dealing with change. How do you respond to others' needs? Do you focus on the task at hand, expect others to embrace the change as inevitable, reassure others that they will be able to adjust to change, show indifference to the change process, or examine reasons for others' reluctance and try to counteract those forces?
• Identify your strengths in how you react to change.
• Identify and explain areas for growth in how you react to change. These are areas that you might want to focus on in this course. Be sure to include specific behavioral changes. What do you think will be the most difficult areas to address, and how will you manage it?

Write a 3- to 5-page reflective essay in Microsoft Word format. Apply APA standards for writing style to your work, including a title page and references.

Utilize at least one professional literature source in your essay. Professional literature may include the Argosy University online library resources; relevant textbooks; peer-reviewed journal articles; and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov).

Persuasive Speech Instructions

This course requires you to present a persuasive speech to an audience of 3 or more adults. You must use a camcorder to record the presentation. After recording the presentation, you must download it from your camcorder onto your computer and then upload it in Blackboard using Kaltura. To do this, follow the Uploading a Video to Blackboard with Kaltura tutorial document, which is in the Assignment Instructions folder. Your grade for the speech will be determined by the degree to which it satisfies the requirements listed below.

Topic Selection

This assignment requires you to research a global, national, regional, state or local problem that apparently exists because humans in general or a specific group of humans are neglecting their duty to promote the things God values in this world. See the Alban text pp. 73–76 for more about the things God values.

· The problem may be political, economic, educational, environmental, medical, religious, or cultural. It may be a false belief or set of beliefs (about God, nature, or other people) that needs correction, a wrongful attitude or type of attitude (toward God, nature, or other people) that needs adjustment, a neglectful or wrong way of acting (toward God, nature, or other people) that needs to change, or a state of needfulness or brokenness that exists as it does because of human indifference or inactivity.

· The problem must be a social one that deters many individuals—not just a few isolated lives—from experiencing life according to God’s Word as he intended when he created the world the people in it.

Among the social issues that could generate a qualified speech topic are the following:

abortion, infanticide, or euthanasia

discrimination (racism, sexism, ageism)

abuse (child, elder, self, spousal)

ecology (climate change, pollution, littering)

addictions/codependency/eating disorders

education (underachievement or illiteracy)

air, land, or water pollution

famine, drought or diseases

animal abuse or vivisection

labor issues (child labor or sweatshops)

bioethics (cloning, eugenics, stem cell research)

marriage (divorce, cohabitation)

birth or population control

poverty (world hunger or homelessness)

crime (street, juvenile, gang, or white collar)

sex (pre-marital, extramarital, homosexual)

criminal justice (prison crowding, recidivism)

slavery or human trafficking

 

The following sites may be helpful for discovering or exploring these and other qualified topics:

Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity

The Heritage Foundation

Family Research Council

The Rutherford Institute

The American Enterprise Institute

The Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life

The Discovery Institute

Speech Goals : Because this is a persuasive speech—a speech in which you try to persuade the audience to believe or value something or to act in a specific way (see the Alban text pp. 328–349)—and because you are to use this particular speech to advocate a redemptive solution to a social problem (see the Alban text pp. 72–77), your goal in this presentation is to use information from appropriately credited expert sources in 2 ways:

(1) To identify the social problem and to establish, with information from credible sources, that it exists somewhere in the world, and

(2) To prescribe a redemptive remedy for the problem—a remedy that, if implemented by someone or a group of people, would promote something that God, according to Scripture, values and that, if implemented, could help somebody experience life as God, according to His Word, meant it to be experienced. For a helpful but not exhaustive list of things God values and corresponding biblical supports see the Alban text, pp. 73–76.

Examples: In such a speech, you might use information from documented expert sources to establish that abortions claimed 630 lives in your home county last year. You would then use Scripture to argue that God values human life, including preborn human life. Finally, you could argue that the county must take 3 specific steps, described by you, to eliminate or diminish the frequency of abortion in the county. Alternatively, you might also use information from documented expert sources to establish that the federal government authorizes the use of a certain chemical in the treatment of drinking water and that credible research from sources A, B, and C indicates this chemical actually causes cancer. You could use Scripture to establish that God wants humans to protect the bodies he created. You would then argue that the federal government must take steps to protect people by banning the chemical from use in the treatment of drinking water.

As you promote something God values (e.g., life, quality of life, creation care, etc.) through this speech, be sure you do not condone or promote something God’s Word discourages or prohibits (e.g., fornication, adultery, homosexuality). After all, a solution is redemptive only if it promotes something that God values according to Scripture. If you are uncertain whether your proposed solution to a social problem satisfies this standard, discuss this in advance of the project’s deadline with your instructor.

 

Other Topic Criteria: Your topic must satisfy not only the preceding criteria, but also the topic selection criteria set forth in the Alban text and the Liberty University Online Honor Code. In addition, your topic must comply with the following:

· Topic Appropriateness: Avoid any topic that leads you to portray legally or ethically questionable texts or behaviors in a favorable light. This includes but is not limited to theses that advance sexually promiscuous activity, the use of illegal substances, or other behaviors that Liberty University’s statement of values prohibits. Questions about the appropriateness of topics, sources, etc. should be directed to your instructor early in the speech-planning process.

· Topic Originality: Your speech topics MUST be researched, selected, and delivered primarily for this course and not primarily for, or in conjunction with, a presentation for a church group, a Sunday School class, a social group, or any other small group. You may not give a speech that serves a double purpose.

· Topic Grading Criteria: You must choose a topic that enables you to construct the speech in a way that satisfies the specific requirements of the Speeches Grading Rubric, which lists the criteria that your instructor will use when grading your presentation.

Research, Organization, and Outlining

Basic Requirements: For your persuasive speech, you are required to:

(1) Research credible sources for information about your topic.

(2) Form a thesis (a statement that argues for a position) for your speech based on your research.

(3) Express this thesis as a complete thought in a single thesis statement sentence.

(4) Choose the information from your research that most powerfully delivers the type of information that this thesis statement requires.

(5) Present this information in a logically sequenced outline of properly documented main points, sub-points, and perhaps even sub-sub-points, using the Persuasive Speech Outline Template document as your formatting guide. Your outline in its final form will serve as the blueprint that you mentally must follow while extemporaneously delivering the speech to your audience.

· Research Requirements: For your persuasive speech, you are required to use 4 expert sources. You must use and clearly cite examples, illustrations, statistics, quotations from experts, etc. from at least 4 expert sources in this project. An expert source is a person, group of persons, or organization with documentable expertise in the area it addresses. Information from such sources typically derives from personal interviews with credentialed experts or from documentable print and/or electronic publications (see the Alban text, pp. 161–167, for more about this).

· The Bible as an Expert Source: While you may of course use the Bible as a source when related to your topic, it must be in addition to the 4 required sources.

· The Alban Text as an Expert Source: The third section of the Alban text, pp. 405–480, and the U.S. Government’s Occupational Outlook Index count as 1 of your 4 sources, not as 2 separate sources.

· Non-Expert Sources: Never use information from anonymous or questionable sources such as Wikipedia or any printed source authored by someone whose credentials for addressing the topic are not clearly established.

· Liberty University Database Source Options: It behooves you to consult the Liberty University Library’s research portal for access to many potentially useful, credible databases.

Organization and Outlining Requirements :

Topical Sequencing Required: You must use the Problem-Solution organizational patterns for addressing your topic (see the Alban text pp. 220–222 for more about this).

The Draft and the Final Outlines: The speech outline process involves 2 submissions. After reviewing your draft outline, your instructor will post constructive feedback that you must heed and assimilate as you compose the revised final outline. The draft outline and the revised final outline must be submitted as Microsoft Word documents via the designated Blackboard submission links.

Use the Outline Template: You must use the Persuasive Speech Outline Template document as a guide for constructing your speech outline. Retain the given formatting. Provide information for each category—an audience description, organizational pattern, purpose statement, etc. Include clearly distinguished introduction, body, and conclusion sections.

Outline Parts:

· The introduction must be listed in this order: your attention-getter, credibility statement, thesis statement, and preview statement.

· The body must include 2–5 main points, each with supportive subpoints, and perhaps even sub-subpoints. These will consist mainly of documented examples, illustrations, statistics, quotations from experts, etc. that you have derived from the 4 or more expert sources that this project requires.

· The conclusion must include a summary statement, a call to action, and a concluding element that refocuses the audience’s attention on the thesis.

· The Works Cited (MLA), Reference page (APA), or Bibliography (Turabian) must properly credit your sources and must do so in the format prescribed by the respective format used.

 

Document Your Sources Properly:

· In-Text and End-Page Citations: Whether you directly quote, summarize, or paraphrase it, any information that you present in your outline and in the speech itself must be explicitly attributed to the source from which you derived it. This requires you to use parenthetical citations or footnotes in the outline itself to show which information derives from which expert source. This also requires you to list the same sources on a Works Cited (MLA), Reference (APA), or Bibliography page (Turabian) in the format prescribed by the style manual that you choose for this project.

· Use Direct Quotes Sparingly: If you include directly quoted material from another source in your outline, it must account for no more than 20-percent of the outline’s content.

· Offset Direct Quotes with Quotation Marks: You must place the directly quoted material inside double-quotation marks to make it clear that you are not claiming to be the originator of the quotation’s wording. Failure to use double-quotation marks to offset directly quoted material constitutes plagiarism. Plagiarism a serious academic offense that results in automatic failure of the assignment or automatic failure of the course (see the Liberty University Honor Code for more information about this).

Speech Recording and Submission Process

You must record and submit your Persuasive Speech presentation in a manner that satisfies the following requirements. They are outlined first and then explained in further detail below that. Your failure to satisfy these requirements will result in the grading penalties prescribed by the Persuasive Speech Grading Rubric:

Basic Speech Delivery Requirements:

· You must use a camcorder to record your speech presentation.

· You must upload your recorded speech presentation to Blackboard using Kaltura for the instructor to view and to grade. Use the Uploading a Video to Blackboard with Kaltura tutorial document, which is in the Assignment Instructions folder.

· Your speech must be 4–6 minutes of uninterrupted, recorded presentation.

· You must deliver your speech to a visually-documented live audience of 3 or more adults.

· You must deliver the speech extemporaneously. Your speech delivery must have a natural conversational quality. DO NOT READ YOUR SPEECH. Speeches that appear to the instructor to be read may be deemed unqualified for grading and may not be accepted.

· You may use notecards for occasional reference during the speech presentation if needed. However, do not let these become a visual distraction. Do not use computerized devices or larger pieces of paper for these speaker’s notes.

· You must maintain strong posture, gestures, and eye contact with the audience, and you must avoid any visually or aurally distracting mannerisms while speaking.

· You must use an effective volume, pitch, rate, and vocal delivery during the presentation.

· You must properly use a visual aid during your speech delivery.

1. Digital Camcorder Requirement: The instructor needs to clearly hear and see your speech in order to assess presentational qualities and determine your score for the project. Thus, you must use a digital camcorder or other digital video recording device to record your speech presentation and a computer to upload it to Blackboard using Kaltura for the instructor’s viewing. If you do not have a camcorder with uploading capabilities, you can acquire a camcorder via MBS, Liberty University Online’s official textbook provider. You could also consider borrowing such a device from a friend, your church, a public library, or other source. Unless you submit the required audio-visual recording of your speeches, you are highly unlikely to complete this course with a passing grade and should consider withdrawing from it.

· Webcams: Although a computer webcam may be used to record a speech in a manner that satisfies the aforementioned requirements, the instructor will not accept a speech recording in which the speaker appears to be reading his/her speech from the computer’s screen. This includes all speeches delivered by a speaker who appears to be sitting or standing too close to the camera, even if this speaker was not, in fact, reading the speech.

Also, it is strongly recommended that you use a tripod or a trustworthy audience member to hold your camcorder to allow for stable video recording.

2. Speech Recording Requirements: Before you record your speech, be sure to practice it in advance. Practice recording it for personal evaluation so that you can determine how to improve the speech’s presentational qualities. Additionally, ask someone to help track the time for you and give signals to let you know whether you have satisfied the presentation’s time requirement.

· Your speech recording must be unbroken. Do not stop the camera until your presentation is complete.

· Document your audience first. Your unbroken speech recording must begin by visually documenting the required live audience of 3 or more adults.

· Keep the camera still during the speech. Except when panning the camera from your audience toward the lectern, the camera must remain in a stationary position and stay focused on the speaker throughout the presentation.

· Stand the proper distance from the camera (8–15 feet) while speaking. Your speech must be given from a standing position (unless you have a Liberty University documented handicap that restricts your mobility). If you appear to be standing closer to or farther from the camera than this, your speech may not be accepted for grading. A speech seemingly delivered from a sitting position in front of a webcam will receive a score of zero.

· Be visible throughout the speech. The top half of your body must be visible throughout the entire speech presentation.

· Your recorded speech must last 4–6 minutes from its first spoken word to its last spoken word. Speeches that exceed or fall short of this will receive point reductions per the terms of the grading rubric.

3. Speech Download Requirement: Once you finish recording the speech presentation, download it to your computer. Using media viewing software, confirm that your presentation is visible and that the sound is audible before you upload it. Most computers come with already-installed media player software (e.g., Windows Media Player or QuickTime). If you do not have media player software on your computer, consider these free downloadable programs: GOM Media Player or VLC Media Player.

Always keep a copy of the speech recording file in case technical complications require you to repost the file to your instructor.

4. Speech Submission Requirements: Once you have viewed your speech on the computer to verify that it is presentable, upload it to Blackboard using Kaltura. Use the Uploading a Video to Blackboard with Kaltura tutorial document, which is in the Assignment Instructions folder.

5. Revised Speech Outline Submission Requirement: Submit your corresponding revised final speech outline—one that assimilates the changes your instructor recommended in response to the draft—via its separately placed link. Your speech outline submission is due by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.

If, due to personal reasons, you do not feel comfortable using Kaltura, please contact your instructor, as alternative means of submission are available.

Note the following submission-related advice:

· Never try to submit your speech file directly via Blackboard as a file attachment. This will not work. You must use Kaltura to upload the video to Blackboard (refer to the Uploading a Video to Blackboard with Kaltura tutorial document, which is in the Assignment Instructions folder.

· Confirm that your upload succeeded. Watch the entire video to confirm whether the upload was successful.

If you have questions about these guidelines, direct them to your instructor as soon as possible.

A company’s culture is often buried so deeply inside rituals, assumptions, attitudes, and values that it becomes transparent to an organization’s members only when, for some reason it changes.
—Rob Goffee
Culture is embedded within every organization. Yet, because culture is woven throughout the everyday interactions and atmosphere of an organization, it can be difficult to assess and explain how the culture influences the inner workings of the organization.

As a nurse leader-manager, developing a sound understanding of an organization’s culture can help you to achieve quality improvement initiatives and identify strategies for enacting sustainable change.

For this Discussion, you analyze the culture of an organization and consider how this relates to achieving goals related to quality improvement. You may wish to focus on the same organization that you have selected for your Course Project.

To prepare:

Review the information on organizational culture in this week’s Learning Resources.
Reflect on the culture of an organization with which you are familiar. Consider the following:
What elements of the organization’s culture seem most prominent or significant to you?
What beliefs, dispositions, and/or actions seem to be most valued? Why do you think so?
What do you notice about the expectations, assumptions, and more demonstrated among people within the organization?
What artifacts provide clues about the culture?
How do these cultural elements contribute to or detract from the organization’s ability to meet prominent goals and objectives?
Consider how you, as a nurse leader-manager, could apply your knowledge of this culture to facilitate quality improvement initiatives within this organization. How would you leverage the strengths of the culture, and address limitations or obstacles that may arise within it?

 Post an analysis of the culture of the organization that you selected. Explain how you think this particular culture contributes to or detracts from the organization’s ability to meet goals. Explain how you, as a nurse leader-manager, could utilize your knowledge of this culture to facilitate quality improvement initiatives within this organization. 

Please read Case Study 1 – Monsanto Attempts to Balance Stakeholder Interests in your textbook on pages 382 – 395.  Then, answer the three questions following the case on page 393.

Please remember that Homework Assignments must be a minimum of 1-2 pages typed, double-spaced, in size 12 Times New Roman font or similar with standard one inch margins.  Homework Assignments must be written in paragraph form and be free of any grammatical errors.

This week, you reviewed why myths and misinformation often take hold, and you explored some ways to spot misleading claims in the broad field of nutrition. Journalists have limited space to take complicated and nuanced research findings and make them understandable for the public. In this assignment, you will have the choice between two topics: the safety of food dyes and the links between these dyes and behavior/mental health, or the efficacy of Vitamin B in preventing mental illnesses.

 

Once you have made your choice, do the following:

 

Read the research study first. As you read, analyze the study protocol and conclusions, using the skills you practiced in last week’s assignment. You do not need to write an essay, but think about your responses to the guidelines posted above.

Read the accompanying news article that reports on the study.

Review the linked consumer website that also focuses on the topic.

Complete the readings/review in this order.

 

Next, make a PowerPoint or Prezi presentation that compares the original research study with the reporting that you found. Your presentation should summarize the study, evaluate the strength of the reporting, and note whether the consumer website is accurate. Note any misinformation or myths that you come across in the news article and consumer website, and show how you would restate the claims.

 

Length: 4-7 slides

 

References: Use the materials provided in the resource list for this week.

You should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to  University's Academic Integrity Policy. Review Academic Integrity Tutorial to refresh your knowledge of how to achieve academic integrity.

All character and company names are fictional and are not intended to depict any actual person or business.  Your work with UWEAR and PALEDENIM is coming to closure. You have sent an e-mail to the client requesting feedback on any final requests before you close the project. Teresa Tramlin, the chief executive officer (CEO), has sent you the following e-mail in response:  It has been a pleasure working with you on this project. For your final deliverable, we are requesting a comprehensive change management framework that we can use to build upon as we move forward. We realize that there is much to do to create the culture we envision and build allegiance to the merged organization. Mike and I need to fully understand our role as leaders as well as help our managers understand their role in building employee commitment. We look forward to your recommendation regarding strategies and tactics to successfully complete the merger, navigate through change, and align personnel, culminating in an effective, successful organization. As you reflect on this final deliverable, you realize that the new values-driven culture, including the code of conduct, represents just part of the change faced by the newly merged organization. Other areas of change include, but are not limited to, work roles, reporting structure, and key business processes.  Assignment  Recommend a change strategy and process for Theresa and Mike to follow. Applying concepts from this unit and prior units in the course, create your recommendation for Theresa and Mike that addresses, but is not limited to, the following:   Overall change management model, such as Lewin, Kotter, or ADKAR Explain the value of this model for the UWEAR-PALEDENIM scenario. Recommend specific actions related to application of the selected model. Managing the people side of change, including resistance Key leadership and management behaviors for effective change Identify topics about which you would like additional information to fully respond to the request for the change management framework. 

Research and use peer-reviewed journals in the library to learn more about those areas. Apply concepts from at leastpeer-reviewed 2 articles that you researched to the development of your recommendation.
