- Introduction:
1. Discussion of the challenges of reactive leadership. What background is necessary for your reader to understand the problems presented?
2. Your introduction should at minimum:
- Set the stage (frame the case study problem and key issues).
- Discuss the challenges that are presented.
- Design some measurement or testing system to measure change of case study problem.
- Discuss the leadership foundations that may help or hinder problem solution.
- Discuss organizational design strengths or weaknesses.
- Discuss communication strategies—successful or otherwise.
3. All introductions should end with, ideally, a thesis statement that lets the reader know the goal of the discussion/paper in its entirety.
- Frame the Problem:
- What is the history of this case study? What are the specific challenges presented by leaders and their actions?
- What changes are needed for a successful conclusion to the problem? Discuss a system that might be used to measure the change you discuss. Is it anything like the research process?
- How would program evaluation play a role?
- What measures would you use?
- Organizational Design:
- How are organizations designed and is this a factor in the case study?
- Do you sense some specific organizational metaphor that may have limitations?
- What changes, if any, might you implement?
- Foundations for Leadership:
- What are the leadership challenges do you find in responding to actions of the case study leaders?
- How do they relate to the styles and types you covered?
- Are there any foundations that you think the organization leaders should consider as they move forward?
- Modern Management:
- Is there a distinct type of leadership principle that goes with properly handling efforts aimed at specific problems? Given what you have learned, is this a value added or a hindrance to the problem you framed above? How so?
- What, if anything, would you recommend as change?
- Communication Strategies:
- What were the communication strategies in leadership at the case study organization?
- Is there room for change? If so, what change is necessary?
- Provide a Plan:
Now that we know the intricate ins and outs of leadership, what are the potential places for improvement and what would you do to solve the problem you posed at the beginning of this paper? Is it just a tweak, a new evaluation process, a new type of organizational structure, a leadership style? What will you do to maintain or improve the interaction at different levels to ensure future success?
- Conclusion:
Rather than tell where we’re going, the conclusion should tell where we’ve been: a summary; then, communicate your final plan conclusion about the behaviors exhibited and what actions you might take. Make the reader believe your ideas present the best course of action to take for success
