New York, NY: Harper Entries are organized alphabetically by surnames of first authors and are formatted with a hanging indent. Most reference entries have three components: 1. Authors: Authors are listed in the same order as specified in the source, using surnames and initials. Commas separate all authors. When there are seven or more authors, list the first six and then use “et al.” for remaining authors. If no author is identified, the title of the document begins the reference. CELERITAS LEADERSHIP ANALYSIS 6 2. Year of Publication: In parenthesis following authors, with a period following the closing parenthesis.

Note: You must integrate the some of the resources you have learned in the first seven weeks of the course to supp ort your paper such as your leadership style, t he DiSC, the TKI, the Vroom -Yett on decision making mode l, Goleman’s (1998) model of EI, Goleman’s (2000) leadership styles, the Five Dysfunctions of a team (Lencioni, 2002), Winning (Welch, 2005) etc. In the body of the paper make sure you properly format the in -text citations.

When the names of the authors of a source are part of the formal structure of the sentence, the year of the publication appears in parenthesis following the iden tification of the authors, for example, Smith (2001). When the authors of a source are not part of the formal structure of the sentence, both the authors and years of publication appear in parentheses, separated by semicolons, for example (Smith and Jones, 2001; Anderson, Charles, & Johnson, 2003). When a source that has three, four, or five authors is cited, all authors are included the first time the source is cited. When that source is cited again, the first author’s surname and “et al.” are used. See th e example in the following paragraph. The full source citation will appear in the list of references that follows the body of the paper. CELERITAS LEADERSHIP ANALYSIS 7 Example : Use of this standard APA style “will result in a favorable impression on your professor ” (Smith, 2001). This was affirmed again in 2003 by Professor Anderson (Anderson, Charles & Johnson, 2003). When a source that has two authors is cited, both authors are cited every time. If there are six or more authors to be cited, use the first author ’s surname and “et al.” the first and each subsequent time it is cited. When a direct quotation is used, always include the author, year, and page number as part of the citation. A quotation of fewer than 40 words should be enclosed in double quotation marks and should be incorporated into the formal structure of the sentence. A longer quote of 40 or more words should appear (without quotes) in block format with each line indented fi ve spaces from the left margin. 1 See the next page for the APA Style Headings for the 6 th addition and the page following for the grading rubric to be used to evaluate this assignment.
