New York, NY: Harper Note: You must integrate the some of the resources you have learned in the first seven weeks of the course to support your paper such as your leadership style, the DiSC, the TKI, the Vroom -Yelton decision making model, emotional intelligence, the 5 Dysfunctions, Winning, 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 identification of the authors, for example, Smith (2001). When the authors of a source are not par t of the formal structure of the sentence, both the CELERITAS TEAM ANALYSIS 8 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 author s 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 the example in the following paragraph. The full source citation will appear in the list of ref erences that follows the body of the paper. 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 inclu de 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 ap pear (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 part 2 of this assignment. Delete these and all instructions in your final paper. CELERITAS TEAM ANALYSIS 9 CELERITAS TEAM ANALYSIS 10 CELERITAS TEAM ANALYSIS 11
