The introduction will explain why it is important for processes to run smoothly within a work environment, and how it impacts that environment. Description of the Situation Describe the non-existent or poorly implemented process in your work environment (past or present) that is the subject of this paper. This will probably take a few paragraphs, but you will have to explain it as if we know nothing. The easiest way to explain this section is to think of it like an abstract or introduction. This section, if written properly, can actually act as the abstract for this paper. It will, in a sense, set up the rest of the paper, which is the review of the case, analysis, recommendations, and the summary and conclusions sections. Remember, cite authors. You should NOT write “According to his book” as your reader has NO IDEA who or what is that. Instead, write “According to Kouzes and Posner (2017), ...” The paper should be written in third person narrative, but for this paper, the first person will be accepted. You will NOT use the first person plural, “we,” or the second person. “you.” One other note: an organization is an “it,” not a “they.” Remember that when you use pronouns describing an organization. Improving the Process and Becoming a Better Leader: Begin text here. This section will address how you would or did improve the process and will also explain how you might/or did become a better leader by improving the process (or processes). You will put your response here, but in essay format. Remember to use in-text citations for all referenced sources. Risk Taking Begin text here. This section will address the question, What kinds of risk taking and experiments you might need to undertake to change or improve the process, and include a clear description of those items. You will put your response here, but in essay format. Remember to use in-text citations for all referenced sources. Tradeoffs Begin text here. This will address the question, What are the tradeoffs and potential benefits, and include a clear description of those items. You will put your response here, but in essay format. Remember to use in-text citations for all referenced sources. Required Planning Begin text here. This will address the question, Describe the planning required to lead the process change, and include a clear description of those items. You will put your response to the first question here, but in essay format. Remember to use in-text citations for all referenced sources. Building Commitment Begin text here. This will address the question, How will you build commitment within the organization, and include a clear description of those items. You will put your response here, but in essay format. Summary and Conclusions This section will tie together all sources used for this case study, conclusions drawn from the reading and any inconsistencies. This section will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice the paper has a continuous flow; there are no page breaks or gaps between sections. The only page breaks occur between the title page and the introduction, as well as and the summary/conclusions and the reference page. You must also provide at least three (3) peer-reviewed references and cite the references in the form of in-text citations in the body of the paper (i.e., the textbook and six [6] additional peer-reviewed sources). Again, when you reference material in your paper, you must also have in-text citations in the body of the paper for each reference. Remember, EVERY citation must correspond to a reference and EVERY reference must correspond to a citation. You CANNOT have one without the other. All references for the case study must appear on a separate page (see the following page for an example). See Reference Page example on next page References This section will reference all original work cited throughout the paper. The heading should appear at the top of the page and all reference material should be listed below in alphabetical order by first last name; also, the title for books is always in italic format and in sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title for articles is in sentence format, not in italic, but the name of the publisher is in italics. See examples below: Barzani, R. S. (2014).
