Paper 1 write a 500 words papers about the principles of change, change management and how most people fear change because they are not comfortable to step out of their comfort zone. simply share your reflections on change whether it’s organizational or change more broadly. Write in-depth about the topics rather than trying to cover everything superficially. Crucially, the purpose of the paper is not to summarize these concepts; rather, it is to react, reflect, and retort. As a rule, don’t tell me things I already know. As examples, you might discuss how some topic(s) would be usefully applied in your current workplace, your rationale for disagreeing with the topic, or how a given topic connects to some other topic(s). Essentially, I am looking for some deeper consideration of the materials. Paper 2 write a 500 words papers about Organizational Conflict and Culture, the ways to manage sources of conflict such as difference in cultures and assumptions, or differing values, opinions and beliefs. simply share your reflections on conflict and culture and how to manage them.

Paper 3: Pitch Assignment ( After reading the instruction please note that I would like the paper to talk about: The consequences of drunk driving with the hope of raising people awareness on the subject.) A young woman was enrolled in a community college US government course I took a few years ago. In class, she constantly mentioned environmental issues and proclaimed herself to be supremely environmentally conscious. Throughout the semester, she was unapologetically and unrelentingly self-aggrandizing and condescending. While many of the other students in the class undoubtedly supported the spirit of her message, they grew increasingly hostile toward her because of her communication style. I would imagine this young woman had already modified her lifestyle as much as possible to accommodate her beliefs regarding environmental impact, sustainability, and consumerism. However, she failed to realize that her greatest opportunity for making a difference in the world was in influencing others to adopt more environmentally-friendly practices. Thus, despite general support among the class for the content of her message, the delivery of her message irritated others and sabotaged her ability to impact them and, thus, the world. This outcome was unfortunate but avoidable. What are you passionate about? What ideas would you like to promote among your peers and the greater world? Why should the world care? How does the delivery of your message affect your persuasiveness and success? Your task for this assignment is to write a speech concerning something you are passionate about. Your goal is to inspire the audience to change some aspect of ourselves, such as our behaviors, attitudes, opinions, beliefs, or values. You should inspire us to want to learn more about your topic. You should convince us that your behaviors, attitudes, opinions, beliefs, or values regarding the issue are right and worthy of adopting as our own. Simply describing your passion is insufficient. The purpose of the Pitch Assignment is to provide you an opportunity to hone your verbal and written communication skills, which are cornerstones of effective leadership and the management of organizational behavior. The importance of the quality of your verbal and written communication cannot be overstated for your career and life. As such, this assignment explicitly requires you to craft, examine, and develop the verbal and nonverbal content of your speech. Beyond improving communication as a leadership skill, this project simultaneously gives you a platform to persuade others about the importance of something you care about. Deliverable: is your Pitch Script. As the name implies, it is your script (i.e., the written text of what you will say) for the pitch you will deliver. It should adhere to all the formal requirements outlined herein and follow university standards for spelling and grammar. Stylistically, it should be clear, concise, and compelling. The language should be colloquial rather than academic. Your pitch script should be just 575-625 words. The first 50-75 words of the pitch should, as a distinct paragraph, provide an introduction to you and your topic. What is your name? What do you do? How did you become passionate about the subject area of your pitch? Why are you talking to us? Most importantly, let us (i.e., the audience) know the purpose of your pitch. Directly indicate to us what idea, social cause, behavior, attitude, opinion, belief, or value you would like us to adopt. Also, please explicitly dedicate your pitch to someone or something important to you and your passion (e.g., “I’d like to dedicate this pitch to my fourth-grade teacher, Ms. Mills, who taught me the importance of mathematics.”) The remainder of your pitch should illuminate your passion. I would encourage you to be as specific as possible when identifying your passion. If your passion is fitness, give us a specific sport, routine, or regimen. If your passion is nutrition, give us specific dietary guidelines. If your passion is traveling, recommend a specific destination. Also, I would strongly encourage you to discuss a passion more intriguing and less conventional than fitness, diet, or traveling. Before you begin to write, it would be helpful to consider the structure of your pitch. Beyond the introductory paragraph, you are advised to divide your pitch into three sections, each composed of three to five main points. Below I provide loose recommendations for the first two sections, but the final “call-to-arms” section is required. This structure will help you to organize and later internalize the content of your pitch. The first section of your pitch might relate your personal interest in the topic via a story wherein you, another person, or some other entity (e.g., a company) act(s) as the protagonist, thereby showing some personal connection to your passion. For example, if your passion is maintaining a connection to your culture through the elders of your family, you might tell a story about how you and your grandmother used to make some specific food item together when you were a kid. The second section might discuss your passion on a more macro scale. Thus, you might cover the history leading up to its current state, what might happen in the future, and the ramifications of adhering to or disregarding your ideas regarding the subject. You might provide statistics or pose and answer a rhetorical question. The third section should convey your “call-to-arms” to your audience, wherein you ask us to change in some way, reinforce why we should change, and provide us guidance as to how to change. Annotate Tactics You are required to use and annotate at least 12 distinct verbal persuasive techniques in your pitch. Properly doing so is worth up to one-half of your grade for the second Pitch Script. Examples of persuasive techniques include Charismatic Leadership Tactics (CLTs), influence tactics, principles of persuasion, and any other identifiable techniques you might wish to employ (e.g., anaphora, alliteration, inspirational quote, etc.). You may use and annotate nonverbal tactics, but they do not count toward your 12- tactic minimum. Also, you may use and annotate specific verbal tactics more than once, but you may only count a specific tactic once toward your 12-tactic quota. For example, you may use multiple metaphors, similes, and analogies, but you may only count that tactic of “metaphors, similes, and analogies” once. You should annotate your use of these tactics using the “Comments” feature in Word (available under the Review tab). When you save your Word document, ensure that “All Markup” is selected as the “Display for Review” option in the “Tracking” section of the “Review” tab. Please refer to the example below to see how it should look upon upload. Nonexhaustive List of Persuasive Tactics Charismatic Leadership Tactics Metaphors, similes, and analogies • Stories and anecdotes • Contrasts • Rhetorical Questions • Three-part lists • Expressions of moral conviction • Statements that reflect the sentiments of the group • Setting high goals • Convey confidence that the goals can be achieved • Creating a sense of urgency • Invoking history • Using repetition • Talking about sacrifice • Using humor Principles of Persuasion • Liking • Reciprocity • Social Proof • Consistency • Authority • Scarcity Influence Tactics • Rational Persuasion • Consultation • Inspirational Appeals • Collaboration • Apprising • Ingratiation • Personal Appeals • Exchange • Legitimating • Pressure • Coalition Other Tactics: You may use other identifiable tactics, as I did in the sample script above. Examples of such tactics include anaphora, alliteration, colloquialisms, proverbs, inspirational quotes (limited to 10-15 words with a citation provided), cultural references (e.g., celebrities, popular characters from TV or movies), etc.
