    What does it take to be a Great Leader?

    Throughout this course, you will be creating a personalized leadership handbook that can be used for years to come. We will research and apply management techniques in each class assignment, and at the end of eight weeks, you will have a blueprint for your success as a manager.

    Let us look at four essential management concepts: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Using the class text and, predominately, articles from Librarys full-text databases (like Academic Search Complete, Business Source Complete, and/or ProQuest Central), research each of the essential management functions. Do not use any quotations. Consider best practices from a management perspective. Talking points are included for each of the functions.

    Planning

    A managers role in supporting the companys vision and mission
    Managerial participation in strategic, tactical, and operational planning
    How managers establish and track goals and objectives for themselves and their teams
    Organizing

    Organization Design, including individual job responsibilities
    Maintaining Corporate Culture and Social Networks
    Leading

    Leadership and Decision-Making
    Communications
    Working in Groups or Teams
    Motivating subordinates
    Controlling

    Systems/Processes (Establishing and tracking performance standards)
    Strategic Human Resources: having the right people in positions
    Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. NOTE: Failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring Level 2-Developing for Meets Assignment Requirements, Critical Thinking, and Use of Sources and Mechanics on the grading rubric.

    The paper should be written in the third person; this means words like I, we, and you are not appropriate. Refer to yourself in the third person as manager, or you can write about what the project team will do, rather than saying I and we.
