Instructions

Assignment 1

Assignment Purpose:

In the first four weeks of this
class the students have examined the difference between leadership in the 20th and
21st century. They have examined the need for leaders to
develop leadership styles and presence as a way to help build
followers. Also, the need to build trust for relationship building in
the organization was examined. Globalization movement in the industry was the
final discussion topic which examines the unique leadership challenges in the
21st century.

For this assignment, students will
research several business leaders to discover their views on leadership
skills needed for the 21st century. The purpose of this
assignment is to have the students demonstrate their understanding of the
challenges and skills needed for the 21st century leader.

Assignment Instructions:

Step 1: Review the assignment instructions carefully.

Step 2: Review the grading rubric for the assignment carefully.

Step 3: In completing the paper, research prominent
business leaders and their views on the leadership skills needed for the 21st century.
Respond to the following items:

  • Select at least one large
    corporation leader one medium sized and one small business leader and
    compare and contrast their viewpoints.

  • In separate paragraphs,
    describe each leaders view on 21st century leadership
    using primary source video or written interviews on their opinions of 21st century
    leadership (Refrain from
    providing a biography or a discussion of the businesses they lead    ).
  • Evaluate the remarks of the
    leaders with respect to leadership styles, skills, and business
    landscape of the future.
  • Compare each leader’s views.

NOTE: In the case of
personal interviews with business leaders, the questions must be cleared with
the professor ahead of time and added to the paper as appendices.

Step 4: Write down or highlight key facts from the
interviews. Consider making an outline to capture key points in the
paper.

Step 5: Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is
double-spaced, 12-point font. The final product will be between 4-5
pages in length excluding the title page and the reference page.

Step 6: Follow this format:

  • Title page with title, your
    name, the course, the instructor’s name;
  • Introduction paragraph (must
    induce a description of the leaders chosen). The introductory paragraph
    is the first paragraph of the paper but is typically written after
    writing the body of the paper. View this website to learn how to
    write an introductory paragraph: http://www.writing.ucsb.edu/faculty/donelan/intro.html;
  • Body part addressing the
    items from step # 3.
  • Summary paragraph. A summary
    paragraph restates the main idea(s) of the paper. Make sure to
    leave a reader with a sense that the paper is complete. The
    summary paragraph is the last paragraph of a paper.

Step 7: In writing a formal paper it should be done in the
third person. What this means is that there are no words such as “I,
me, my, we, or us” (first person writing), nor is there use of “you or your”
(second person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person,
view this link: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person

Step 8: In writing this assignment, students are asked to
support the reasoning using in-text citations and a reference list. A
reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text
citation and vice versa. View the sample APA paper under Week 1
content.

Step 9: In writing this assignment, students are expected
to paraphrase and not use direct quotes. Learn to paraphrase by
reviewing this link: https://writing.wisc.edu/Handbook/QPA_paraphrase2.html

Step 10: Using the grading rubric as a comparison, read
through the paper to ensure all required elements are presented.

Step 11: Proofread the paper for spelling and grammatical
issues, and third person writing.

  • Use the spell and grammar
    check in Word as a first measure;
  • Have someone who has
    excellent English skills to proof the paper;
  • Consider submitting the paper
    to the Effective Writing Center (EWC). The EWC will provide 4-6
    areas that may need improvement.
