Case Study-Leadership

  • For your case study, read the sections titled "Visionary" through "Affiliative Summary" of the following article from the required reading assignment:
  • Preston, G., Moon, J., Simon, R., Allen, S., & Kossi, E. (2015). The relevance of emotional intelligence in project leadership. Journal of Information Technology and Economic Development, 6(1), 16-40.
  • In your case study, be sure to address the following items:
  • Include a brief statement as to which of the leadership styles (visionary, coaching, affiliative, democratic, pacesetting, and commanding) presented in the article that you are most comfortable employing, in general.
  • Select and analyze one of the scenarios below. Be sure to provide the number of the scenario you chose.
  • Scenario 1: As a manager, you have two employees who have a difficult time working together. While nothing specifically unprofessional has been done by either one of them, other team members have expressed concern that the differences between them are causing tension, and some other team members are having difficulty performing their work. Some have even gone so far as to say that the situation is causing a hostile work environment.
  •  
  • Based on your understanding of the discussed leadership styles in the article, which would you choose to handle this situation?
  • What elements of that style do you feel will be most helpful in resolving the problems faced?
  • How would you proceed with handling the scenario?
  • How does the role of leadership in the decision-making process serve to establish an organizational climate oriented to meet business goals?
  • Utilize the CSU Online Library to locate one journal article to use as a reference that supports your case study. Your case study should be three pages in length.
  • Be sure to include the rubric elements from the guidelines below:
  • The analysis should present an insightful and thorough discussion with strong arguments and evidence.
  • The content should be highly relevant and informative while remaining on topic.
  • Accuracy and close attention to detail should be clearly evident in all parts of the assignment.
  • The writing should be clear and concise with proper sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation, and it should be free from spelling errors.
  • The number of sources should meet or exceed assignment requirements, and all sources should be academically credible, and properly cited using APA formatting with in tex citations

INSTRUCTIONS::

You will be required to choose a specific idea and write two, 2-page scripts, and a rewritten scene in Writers Guild of America (WGA) properly formatted page form. Each one of the 3 writing assignments will have a dedicated purpose.

 

Write down the first 2 pages in proper WGA screenplay format for your film idea. It should include an opening image and the theme of your film clearly stated.

 

Your "Script: Pages 1–2" must be submitted in Discussion Board Forum 4 by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday and in a Word document by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 6.

 

Choose one of your classmates' scripts (posted in Discussion Board Forum 4) and rewrite the script based on changing 3 of the 5 following elements:

Changing the location from a public space to a private space or vice versa.

Note that this change should be reflected in dialogue and a character's actions, because characters speak differently using their internal voice and private spaces whereas in a more public space they may be reluctant to express themselves is freely.

Changing the gender of the lead character and in so doing the dialogue.

should be changed to reflect the voice of an opposing gender.

Changing the time period.

Note that this change affects the technology that surrounds the characters as well as the cultural norms of the day.

 

Change the genre of the movie. 

Rewrite the script from the supporting character's point of view so that he/she become the lead in the movie.

Looking back at feedback provided by your fellow students regarding your first 2 pages (image and theme) as well as a rewrite (or rewrites) provided by your fellow students, make changes in your first 2 pages and continue to write the next 2 pages which will now include the setup and the catalyst, or “knock at the door” for your character.

Reflection Paper On Team Members Satisfaction

The employment of different types of power might influence a team member's satisfaction, and thus, his or her motivation to continue. In regards to your current industry and/or the culture of your current organization, write a reflection paper that addresses the following requirements: Describe which motivational theory, as described in Harell and Daim in the required readings for this unit, would be the most appropriate for your industry/organization. Why? Describe which of the original power types from the French and Raven power taxonomy, as described by Elias (2008) in this unit's required readings, would fit best with the selected motivational theory. 

Your reflection paper should be three pages in length. APA format in text citations.  

Be sure to include the rubric elements from the guidelines below: The response reflects in-depth consideration and personalization of theories, concepts, and/or strategies. The writing should be clear and concise with proper sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation, and it should be free from spelling errors. The response includes all major components: accurate accounts of the topic area, critical analysis of the topic area, and scholarly or professional application of the topic area. The response demonstrates synthesis of ideas presented, and the implications of these insights for the learner's future learning are noted. 

 Be thorough and a good rule of thumb is to ask and address the "who, what, where, when, why, and how" questions when doing the paper and include a clear thesis as well as your conclusions and points.

Quantitative Reasoning and Analysis

Assignment: Introduction to Quantitative Analysis: Confidence Intervals

In your Week 2 Assignment, you displayed data based on a categorical variable and continuous variable from a specific dataset. In Week 3, you used the same variables as in Week 2 to perform a descriptive analysis of the data. For this Assignment, you will calculate a confidence interval in SPSS for one of the variables from your Week 2 and Week 3 Assignments.

To prepare for this Assignment:

· Review the Learning Resources related to probability, sampling distributions, and confidence intervals.

· For additional support, review the Skill Builder: Confidence Intervals and the Skill Builder: Sampling Distributions, which you can find by navigating back to your Blackboard Course Home Page. From there, locate the Skill Builder link in the left navigation pane.

· Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you chose) from Week 2.

· Choose an appropriate variable from Weeks 2 and 3 and calculate a confidence interval in SPSS.

· Once you perform your confidence interval, review Chapter 5 and 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document.

For this Assignment:

Write a 2- to 3-paragraph analysis of your results and include a copy and paste of the appropriate visual display of the data into your document.

Based on the results of your data in this confidence interval Assignment, provide a brief explanation of what the implications for social change might be.
