Organizational Leadership Vision: Due 3/15
For this final reflection paper, you will be identifying five concepts from the course that you have found useful to you as you imagine yourself in a future leadership/management or ownership role in an organization. You can use any material from the entire course for this assignment that you have not written about already. A concept would be something similar to the items you have been writing about all semester for your organizational behavior and leadership papers.
Introduction
One sentence describing the assignment.
The Vision [125-150 words]
Please project yourself in a future role in your career in which you imagine that you have responsibility for the success of a group of employees. Start your paper off with an introductory paragraph that sets the context for this future role, by giving some information about the type of company or department that you would picture yourself leading in the future. Identify the time setting, i.e. five from now, ten years from now, etc. The more clearly you can paint a picture of this future role, the more effective the rest of your paper will be. Include some idea about the type of work that most of your employees will be doing, at least the major job families in the company.
Concept Description [250-300 words]
For this section you should first explain your approach and give an overview to the concepts you are choosing. This section will bridge the gap between the role that you defined above and the concepts you will be applying. Then identify the concepts that we have studied throughout the course, that you imagine would be useful for you to use as a leader in order to establish a strong organizational experience for your employees. Identify each of the five concepts that are most important and provide a very short definition (one or two sentences) of that concept, as if you are explaining it to your friend from home who has never studied these concepts. DONT COPY the definition from the textbook, as the point is for you to show (in your own words) what you understand.
