The Link in Strategic Thinking & Leadership the Art of War Book Discussion

/in /by

I’m working on a Management exercise and need support.

 

  • Purpose: To articulate the linkage between strategic thinking and leadership: Leaders need to think strategically to achieve a goal. We want to find an example of this topic in our reading and be able to explain the linkage.
  • The following pages are relevant for the written assignment and the leadership section of the class.
    • Art of War – read the following pages – these are for the written assignment
      • 40 – 43 #1: “Laying plans”
      • 48 – 51 #3: “Attack by stratagem”
      • 64 – 68: #7: “Maneuvering an army”
    • The pages 45-69 from The Principles of War: just think about what is being said, not the details – you can almost skim these pages – They are the pages for “Chapter III and IV”
  • Format:
    • One inch margins
    • 12 point font, any professional font style is fine
    • Double spaced
    • Length maximum three pages →but you can get a good paper in just under two pages.
    • Can use some, but not entirely, outline format to list some points, but the points need to be in complete sentences.
    • Single space your name and date in the upper left corner
    • If you want to list any references you can do that but not needed
  • Incorporation of the The Art of War and/or The Principles of War – might help to have one or two quotes from the book.
  • Incorporation of the textual material: might help to have one or two quotes or references from The Goal and/or the IBM book and/or Onward. Think about what happened to Alex or Lou or Howard and what they did.
  • Alternatively, you can reflect on the recent events in other situations with relation to the books and topics from class. See sample papers on Canvas.
  • Comments:

oFind one point of interest to you and write about it. Just start writing and it will develop.

oWrite to yourself, not to the instructor

  • For example, answer one of these questions or any point that is of interest to you:

1.On page 47[1] Sun Tzu states that the leader of the army is the arbiter of the people’s fate. How does this relate to our books and a topic from class?

2.On page 64 Sun Tzu states that there is nothing more difficult than tactical maneuvering. What do you think he means by this in relation to our books?

3.On page 45 of The Principles of War, Clausewitz gives three objectives of war. Apply the third objective to our books and a topic from class.

4.On page 61 of The Principles of War, Clausewitz talks about “a great difficulty.” How does this apply to Lou and Alex and Howard?

5.On page 61 and the following page of The Principles of War, Clausewitz addresses points that discuss his topic of “friction.” Comment on one of these points in relation to Lou and Alex and Howard.

6.You can also apply questions to another situation if you want: campus club, work experience, sports team, and the like so can exclude the above reference to out books.

Human Relations Email Response Discussion

/in /by

I’m working on a Management exercise and need support.

 

Yes, another exercise in Human Relations, the manager with disgruntled employee. We see disgruntled employees in the military, civil service and the business world. You can not escape them, but this class may help you think about ways to deal with them. The reading assignment is good, and often your peer replies will be very interesting. Enjoy!

1. You have just been hired by Yummy Juicy, a national corporation that sells organic juices at most major retail stores. You have been hired as the West Coast Distribution Manager. After about five weeks on the job, you get the following email:

Sir/Ma’am,

You are hurting this company. You have continued to try to force all of us to change our ways and follow procedures that are no good. I am not sure why you got the job. You trained us on the new procedures, which wasted hours of our time. Don’t bother to reply to this email, I know nothing will change.

R/

Bob (disgruntled employee)

2. Complete the following:

a. Develop an email response. Use the three-step process for being assertive. Bob is one of your first-line supervisors and has been with the company for 20 years. Mary, another supervisor tells you that Bob is just trying to bully you and that most other supervisors love the new processes. (I realize many of you would call Bob into your office, but for this assignment, you must generate the email).

b. Do you find it difficult to be assertive in your own life (personal and professional)? Why or why not?

c. What are the risks of being assertive with Bob? Make sure you utilize common course terminology when explaining the risks.

3. Mary comes to you later in the day and says, “Boss, Bob is trying to negotiate with you, he has a target in mind, and is not flexible, so his limit is not much different than his target.” Explain what Mary is talking about (explain, in your OWN words, the concepts of targets and limits during negotiations).

Employee Engagement & Organizational Success Analytical Review

/in /by

Can you help me understand this Management question?

 

Choose an article (newspaper, magazine, industry journal) that relates with one of the management functions or more than one but not required to do all (planning, leading, organizing and controlling).

Submit an APA formatted Word document approximately 5 – 7 pages not including cover and reference page.

Use the worksheet below for the requirements to be included in your paper.

Article Analysis Worksheet

An article review is a piece of writing where you summarize and assess another person’s article. It entails a logical evaluation of the central theme of the article, supporting arguments and implications for further research.

TIPS of getting started:

  • Define the main idea: When reading for the 1st time, concentrate on the overall impression. Brainstorm ideas on what the author wanted to tell and think whether he or she has managed to reach the goal.
  • Look up unknown terms. Don’t know the meaning of certain words and expressions? Highlight them and don’t forget to check what they mean using reliable sources of information.
  • Highlight the most significant ideas. When reading for the 2nd time, take a highlighter to emphasize the most vital ideas for understanding the article.
  • Write an outline. A well-written outline will ease your life significantly. All your thoughts will be grouped. The detailed plan helps not miss anything important. Think of those questions that should be answered in the process of writing.
  • Brainstorm title ideas. When choosing an article, bear in mind: it should reflect the main idea. Make it eye-catching and concise.
  • Check an article review format example. You should check whether you know how to cite an article using the proper style. Take into account that the citation rules differ in APA and MLA format. Ask your teacher, which one you are supposed to give preference to.
  • Write a good introduction. Provide the central ideas presented in work in just one brief paragraph. Make an accent on the key concepts and arguments of the author. Include a thesis at the end of the introduction.
  • Write in a formal style. Use the third-person and remember that this assignment should be written in accordance with a formal academic writing style.
  • Summarize, provide your critique, and conclude. Express your opinion on whether the author has achieved his or her goal or not. Mention the drawbacks of the work if there are any and highlight its strong points as well.
