Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on course module concepts, which will include your synthesizing book chapter content, article content, media clip content, and self-assessments and/or exercises. Additionally, you will develop, understand, and apply your own style of leadership and communication with each of these module assignments. For each Critical Reflection Paper, you will include content from all chapters, articles, videos, and self-assessments.
Critical Reflection Paper 1 (Chapters 1-4; articles)

Upon completion of the Critical reflection paper assignment, you will gain critical thinking and communication skills in real-world situations and obtain a better understanding of leadership and communication theories applied in the workplace.

The 
Critical Reflection Paper will be a 

minimum of ten double-spaced pages 
(pages can be longer), substantively outlining the K&P chapters, a minimum of substantively discussing three take-aways from assigned articles/media clips, and a paragraph reflection of the module self-assessment/exercise.

Instructions for each content module

1. Read the assigned Kouzes & Posner book chapters.

2. Read all articles and review any media clip videos.

3. Complete any self-assessment and/or exercise (if included in module).

4. Outline the K&P book chapters as if you were to teach the course. These need to be brief, but discussed well to show clarity in your understanding of the chapter’s content. Note that this is written out in paragraphs and not listed.

5. Discuss in paragraphs, a 
minimum of three take-aways/revelations from articles read/media clips viewed.  Explain/discuss/describe well. Synthesize your viewpoint as well. Add how you have or will apply to your workplace. It may also help for you to discuss one challenge that you might have regarding the module’s theme/content and how you plan to address it. If you incorporate your own additional article/media clip information, please cite the source.

6. Discuss your self-assessment results or exercise results from that content module. How do you view your results in light of how you communicate and lead others? If you incorporate your own article/media clip information, 
please cite the source using both in-text citations for every paragraph and listing of sources on a reference page.


Required Guidelines


Formatting:

· Use separate paragraphs

· Use 

sectional bolded paragraph headings
 in proper format for ease of reading. It must be clear which sections you are addressing.

· Use bulleted lists where applicable; use graphs and tables—any visuals helpful in presenting content where applicable, but these should not count towards the 10-page minimum.

· The document should be a professionally formatted business document as if you were to give it to your boss or client—an executive summary of the material. The document should look good!

·
APA: This paper must include APA format for in-text citations (for every fact not yours and in every paragraph) and a reference page. Not in-text citing at all or not citing enough is considered plagiarism. Example, at the end of paragraph: (Kouzes & Posner, 2017).

·
Paraphrasing: The paper must be written in your own words 
without quotes. No copy and pasting content at all. Turnitin will be used. Note that if you are outlining the chapter, the similarity index may be higher, but the general rule is that it should not be above 20%. Check the similarity index in Turnitin submission to ensure that no more than 4 words in consecutive order are highlighted.  Don’t worry about the flow of content from the chapters being similar, just outline and discuss in your own words. DO NOT use any purchased papers or papers found on the Internet or any papers you have written for another class. Self-plagiarism is also serious and will result in a failing grade.

·
AI-Generated Content: Your reflection papers must be your own work and not from AI-generated content. I do check all assignments for this. A “0” Failing grade will be assigned for any AI-generated content. 

 
Warning: any plagiarism violation will be taken seriously. Just do not do it!

·
 Citations: Cite sources for every fact and every paragraph. Anything that is not your own opinion, must be cited and referenced. Use APA format for citations and reference page. No need for APA rule of “running head.” Include a reference page that lists all sources used. Fully list your sources and do not just list the URL link.

You schedule a phone call with the five new team members and discover that they are upset about the recent impersonal message they received from human resources informing them that they would have to relocate to Raleigh in order to stay employed; no one expressed excitement about joining the team. During this conversation, you also discover that many of the new team members have more education and experience than the people currently on your team. Based on the conversation, you notice that most of these team members are likely older than you, whereas all of the current Raleigh team members are younger than you. After the call, one of your current senior team members approaches you about rumors that are circulating concerning the Raleigh team being required to train the new team members from San Jose. They heard that there are plans to eliminate positions and are concerned the new hires will ultimately be taking their positions.

Next,  explain the areas of conflict for the team. Make sure to include contributing factors and the possible impacts. 3. Articulate the desired outcome of any conflict resolution activities. · How would you like to see this conflict resolved? · What is the “best-case” scenario? 4. Recommend action steps for managing areas of possible conflict with a detailed explanation on how the action steps contribute to conflict resolution. 5. In the presentation only,  use dialogue to communicate the appropriate main ideas to the audience. Although you will not give this presentation over video, you should use the speaker’s notes section in PowerPoint to write the accompanying speech.
