MBA 600 - APPROVED SCHOLARS

Module 1 Assignment

For this assignment, students are expected to choose an activity in which you are involved—anything that includes a group of people who collaborate to achieve common goals and ideas. This can be at work, on a team, in a group, class, a place of worship, or in a volunteer capacity. A successful written submission will detail the following:
Who is the leader? Who are the followers? Describe the interactions between the followers and the leader. Describe the tasks you participate in, and then identify the traits and behaviors of the leader. Do they match the situation? What kind of leader would be best for the situation? Is a leader even necessary? Why or why not?
Use the concepts presented in the resources posted in Canvas, as well as the course textbook, to analyze the nature of the situation. Synthesize the course materials presented in Canvas and the textbook. Submit a two page (minimum), written assignment synthesizing the course content with your selected example. Use and refer to these resources to describe how your chosen leader excels or struggles.
Charts and figures may be included in support of the written content. Remember corporate websites are incredibly helpful to identify information about organizational management practices, but students will also want to rely on supportive articles and editorial opinion on the organization (or the business leader) when and how appropriate.
All written submissions in MBA 600 should be written in APA style and formatted accordingly. Students are not expected to include a title page and running head until the final paper in this course. For assistance please visit the Lynn Library (Links to an external site.)
Written Assignment Guidelines: Below is a grading rubric to assist students with how to best prepare the submitted written assignments in this course. APA writing standards are expected. This includes paper formatting, citations, reference list, and writing in the third-person tone of voice (writing in the first person does not comply with APA). Scholarly writing is expected. Critical thinking and the synthesis of course content should result in an analytical written submission.
