Recent Question/Assignment
Case fact: we did a Pechakucha presentation about ethics and social responsibility. Plese follow instructions carefully in order to write critical reflective writing. I have provided two example reports for your understanding but remember the topics are different in those reports and do not copy anything from them, just to understand how it looks like.
Please note- Our group has 6 members and they are mostly from different cultures and countries. Sometime they used to speak their language during the group discussion in which others get offended.
Team leader was not initiative and I had to take initiative instead. When making our presentation we had some different opinions but later we came into a better solutions that everyone agreed. There was democracy leadership which everyone can participate in idea forming and had equal participation and listened everyone’s ideas.
Please let me know before you start writing what are the leadership issue, team and conflict issues which need to be written in section one. So I can agree with you and continue the rest. I also attached the relevant lecture notes for your assistance. Make sure you make academic reference when needed to support your arguments.
You must use a minimum of 10 references:
• 10 different academic journal articles – peer reviewed
• No other source such as Blog, newspaper, magazine, books or other Internet source • No general Internet based sources.
Structure :
•Executive Summary
•Introduction
•Section 1: (around 200 words): brief review of your team experience from Pecha Kucha presentation.Maybe identify 3 issues which you can discuss around Leadership, Teams and conflict topics. Make sure you use your words wisely as you only have 200 words to
explain. If you use more, you will have less word count for more valuable next section.
•Section 2: (around 400 words): Presenting a detailed critical analysis of the issues you mentioned in section one related to to Leadership issues and supporting your view with peer reviewed academic journal articles. It is important that you critically analyse the issues you mentioned in section 1 here and not repeat yourself or get into the details of who said what, what caused what. Even though is is fun to read the all the gossip, you will not gain any marks if you explain what happened again. As an example: if your leader was very motivational and this helped you get a great mark; search about motivational leaders effect on team success... Be specific in your research; OB is a huge topic and you will still find thousands of articles even if you be specific.
Section 3: (around 400 words): Presenting a detailed critical analysis of the issues you mentioned in section one related to to team and conflict issues and supporting your view with peer reviewed academic journal articles. It is again important that you critically analyse the issues you mentioned in section 1 here and not repeat yourself or get into the details of what happened. You will gain marks from your analysis!
•Section 4: (around 200 words): Based on these analysis, outline your learnings about leadership,
teams and/or conflict. What would you do different, what have you learned, your mistakes... Support these with research again!
• Conclusion
