Step 3: Choose a Case to Analyze Now that you have a better understanding of various aspects of organizational behavior from the reading in the previous step, take a look at these case studies . Choose one of these cases or look for other options. In response to the case study, write an instructive white paper (6 – 8 pages) that analyzes a company's management and leadership environment in a particularly challenging period. Your paper should:  review the issues of the case study as background for the events relating to the role of the leadership and teams  analyze the leadership practices of the organization in the case study, and define the practices that leaders used to create collaborative and successful teams, or failed to effect successful working relations resulting in negative conditions  propose remedial principles and practices that the organization might adopt to enable a better outcome After the paper is written, you will create a one -page executive summary of the paper and an asynchronous pre sentation of 12 slides, excluding the references slide and cover slide. You will have three weeks to complete the following:  create a project plan  conduct research, develop an analysis of the issues of the case, determine your argument, provide supportin g facts, and identify recommendations with an explanation of your rationale  draft and finalize your paper and executive summary, and create a narrated presentation  In the next step, you will come up with a project plan. Step 4: Create Your Project Plan In the previous step, chose a case study. In this step, you will create a single document with participation by all. Finish this step by creating and submitting the final version of the project plan . Step 5: Conduct Research Now it is time to do a closer r ead of the chosen case and do any additional research. Revisit guidelines on conducting research , if needed. Then look at Table 1, which provides some topics for your search strategies. In your search, you should consult scholarly resources as well as onli ne resources, newspapers, and business blogs and sites for similar contemporary cases. Table 1 Topics to Consider as They Apply to Your Case 1. Principles of teamwork within an organization: What were the practices of this organization, and how did these prac tices influence the issue and challenges the project team and leader confronted? 2. Best practices for leaders: What practices did the team (or leadership) employ that influenced the outcome, leading to resolution of the crisis, or further exacerbating the si tuation? 3. How the composition of leadership influences outcomes: Were there unique characteristics of the project team and leaders? 4. Judging the success of project teams, immediate and longer term: Are there any unique issues, challenges, or practices releva nt to the leaders, industry, or company? This step might be completed well before your paper is finished, or you may continue to do research as the paper is developed. Ideally, much of this step should be complete by the end of Week 9 to ensure time for w riting. Move on to the next step when you feel you are ready to begin whatever writing component the team’s project plan has allocated to you. Step 6: Writing the Paper Using the research from the previous step, you will write the white paper and executiv e summary as determined in the project plan. Your paper and contribution to the project will be graded using the project rubric. The white paper and executive summary must be completed . After your paper and summary are been completed, you should move on t o the next step, in which you will create the narrated presentation. Step 7: Narrated Presentation You must now create the asynchronous presentation that captures the primary argument and supporting facts of your paper. The presentation should be engaging and should convey:  a synopsis of the issues of the case  your analysis of the connection between leadership and outcomes  any unexpected discoveries in this case  proposals to mitigate challenges and your rationale for such recommendations In the fin al step, you will submit the paper, summary, and presentation to the correct locations. Step 8: Submit Your Work Your final assignment requires two files, a text document that contains the executive summary and the white paper, and a narrated presentation . Once your paper and executive summary are complete, create a combined single document with these elements:  Cover sheet in APA format  One -page double -spaced executive summary;  White paper, 6 -8 pages double -spaced, and in perfect APA format;  References  Presentation Once your presentation is complete submit to the assignment folder for grading.
