Assignment 2: Professional Development Program Proposal

Due: Week 6, worth 175 points

Length: The assignment should be five to seven pages, excluding title page and reference page

Important: You will continue with the same organization you selected in Assignment 1.

Focus: For this assignment, you will develop a proposal for a professional development training program. The program centers on motivational strategies and how an emotional intelligence management approach would benefit department managers.

Context:

Imagine that the CEO has charged you, the task force leader, with researching emotional intelligence (EI) in order to propose a professional development program.

Key considerations:

Your proposal should detail how a new incentive program, based on an EI management approach, will foster teamwork, strengthen interpersonal relationships, enhance communication, and increase overall performance. Be sure to focus on these aspects throughout your paper.
Your program’s proposal must include supporting research concerning how motivational strategies enhance job satisfaction and team output. Insert these references/ sources to support your position throughout the paper.

References needed: at least two quality resources such as the course textbook, company website, business websites (CNBC, Bloomberg, etc.), resources from the Strayer Library, and/or outside sources. Note: Wikipedia and web-based blogs do not qualify as credible resources.

IMPORTANT: Please remove the text in color in this template and replace with your information.

Leave the text in black as it is. You are required to write the questions and then provide the response or use headings for each section.

You must use headings!
