Class, this week we focus on your research paper and getting some thoughts on it written down. This forum will help you get ideas and maybe defeat any writer’s block.
I think that you will find the following video quite enjoyable and hope it helps to stimulate some thoughts for your paper.
The following video by Mr. Guy Kawasaki (early Apple marketing executive) is on his new book “Enchantment”. This is a very high-tech, business-focused brief, but the concepts apply to retail, military, government or any other organizations. This video gives the meat and potatoes of his book and provides relevant strategies for working with others.
What was the highlight of the video to you?
Can you take any lessons from this?
How will it affect you working with others?

1. Discuss your idea for the research paper to include an outline and reason why the topic is important to you. Make sure you go to the assignment instructions and look at what the expectations/rubrics are for the paper.
(PAPER GUIDELINES)
You are to write no longer than a 7 page paper in proper APA 7th Edition format. For your paper, you will create a fictional character for a movie. The character should be in a management position. Your paper should utilize appropriate course material (and from your own research).
Ensure you address the following topics in your paper:
Describe the personality of your character (this is to help the reader understand the challenges your leader faces).
How did your character develop their management traits?
Identify three management traits that the leader possesses, and explain why they are necessary to a successful manager.
How you can develop each skill or trait in your own life? Training, education, experience, etc. – but be specific (if you create goals they should be SMART).
What are the possible disadvantages of having these traits?
How have you seen the selected traits utilized effectively in your own experiences in life?
How can you market the traits (for this I would like to see resume bullets for each of the traits)? – Put yourself in your character’s shoes, as if they were writing a resume.
How do you relate to your character? Could you be managed by him/her/it?
The paper must include (all in proper APA 7th edition format):
Cover Page
Body
Reference Page
