Assignments
There is one primary deliverable for this course – the completion of a 35-page document (plus a title
page, abstract, table of contents, reference pages, and appendices) that describes a project that
involves an organizational change, program development, or training development approach.
Additionally, it should include your role in leading others within this project. The document should be
double-spaced, 12-point font as per APA, e.g., Times New Roman, and with 1” margins. This project
may be retrospective, current, or prospective and may represent an actual or hypothetical project.
While the paper can be hypothetical, it is strongly encouraged that the paper be in a field that the
participant is thoroughly familiar with. Please also note that all courses need to be addressed in the
paper.
What do I need?
I have already written the Introduction. Please use the introduction as an outline or blueprint of the paper, written from the perspective of an audio-visual program director seeking to implement a change initiative project in the realm of compliance.
This term project will need a total of 50 APA resources that are PEER-REVIEWED. Avoid using any regular citations, as they will get flagged. The paper MUST have an AI score of 0%.
I will attach copies of previous paper examples to follow.
Please incorporate tables where necessary as they relate to the content.
Finally, ensure the paper has theory well-incorporated throughout the document but make the application pieces of the project the main priority.

Student will submit a Leadership Philosophy paper – Your paper will be a synthesis of what you have learned (from this course, other courses, personal experiences, the leadership studies minor, and your undergraduate college career) represented through your personal philosophy of leadership defined. Your paper should be 2 pages in length (double space). Start with one-sentence of your definition of leadership. Then, support it. Why those words? Why not other words? What do they mean? What do they mean to you? Where does that come from? How has it developed? This paper should walk us through your definition with lots of elaboration, introspection, and synthesis, and should use course content liberally. In the paper, students could connect leadership theory to their leadership philosophy.

Please answer the following questions.
1. Why is it important to clearly define the topic for a research study?
2. What are the main issues that students should be aware of to develop a powerful and persuasive t problem statement?
3. Why is it important not to use personal pronouns in an academic paper? (review this website for assistance:
Thanks.

Using the outline as a guide, please write an essay of 1375 words reflecting on leadership in the Harvard style and include over 10 references.

After viewing Dr. Fleming’s video and completing this week’s readings, create a visual illustration of the elements of your own identity. Your visual should include both your personal identities and your group/social identities and should be a comprehensive list of the various elements of your identity. How you choose the separate your core identities from those that are farther from the center is up to you. The illustration can be as plain or as colorful and creative as you like. If you create your illustration by hand, be sure to scan/photograph it and include it with your paper. Save your illustration as a jpeg and include it with your reflection paper. This section does not count toward your total word count for this assignment.

In addition to creating your identity illustration, address the following prompts:
Introduction
What are the 4-5 most important (core) elements of your identity?
Where and how were each of these aspects of your identity formed?
Think of the last time that one or more of these identities were threatened. (The focus here should be on a threat that came through the words or actions of another person or other people, not internal battles you might have experienced within yourself.)
How did you respond?
Northrup (1989) believes that conflicts that threaten or are perceived as threatening to our core concepts of self very often result in intractable conflicts. How does your example support or refute this belief?
In your opinion, why does identity have such a major impact on a person’s response to conflict? Support your view with information from the course, the textbooks, or other academic material.
In your opinion, how does your identity impact your personal conflict style that you discovered in Module 1?
Think about your personal reaction to conflict in light of what Shapiro called the repetition compulsion. Respond to the following questions adapted from p. 65:
What recurrently dysfunctional pattern(s) do you exhibit in conflict? (We all have them!)
At the moment when this pattern occurs, what is threatening your identity? Be specific and introspective in your explanation.
Which of the common issues listed on p. 66 lure you into the repetition compulsion? Is it something else? Why do you think these things pull you in?
Conflict is almost never one-sided, and the ability and willingness to own your own contribution to a conflict is indicative of an increasing level of emotional intelligence (which we will discuss in the next module). With that in mind, think back to a recent conflict in which you were personally involved. How did your own words and actions contribute to the escalation of this conflict? Provide specific evidence of words that you said and/or actions that you took that made the conflict more difficult for everyone involved.
Consider a long-standing conflict with which you are personally familiar. It should be one in which you are personally involved if possible, or at least one with which you are very familiar with the parties and the details. Synthesizing the material from Northrup and Shapiro’s section on the sacred and any other academic material you find appropriate, analyze the conflict in terms of its intractability and the sacred.
What do each of the parties hold sacred that is threatened by this conflict?
Is it possible for the parties to disentangle the sacred from the secular (Shapiro, pp. 105-107)? Explain.
Is this conflict intractable? Explain.
