Gender and emotion

Purpose The purpose of this discussion is to create active engagement by students with the topic of the
leader in the leadership process development thereby strengthening their understanding of the
material and continuing to build community in the class.

You will be measured both on the quality of your initial response to subject matter as well as

influence) or unsuccessful (i.e., unable to influence) leader.

1. Name the character.
2. Provide brief background information on whom the character was trying to influence
and what was intended influence.
3. Tell whether the influence attempt was or was not successful.

Outline of previous papers

Preface:
Now that the initial research has been conducted on the approved topic, it is time to prepare a complete outline. Outlines are a foundational component of MBA research papers since they can organize concepts and demonstrate a logical order of information that will be presented. Outlines also assist in keeping track of large volumes of data, and it makes it easier for readers to follow with individual headings. For a well structured outline, APA utilizes a unique headings system to separate and classify all paper sections while structuring the flow of information and how ideas are correlated.
Guidelines:
Combine the previously created research paper sections to create an outline that will include the title and reference page. There are five heading levels and regardless of the final page number, headings are always in order starting with level 1.
Requirements:
Use the heading labels below as a placeholder where the writing process will take place.

Case Study

Directions:
Write a short summary, and then answer all of the questions at the end of the case in an APA formatted paper. The summary and questions should be one complete page. Your paper should be no less than one full page of content; you should include a title page and a reference page for a total of three pages. Please read the case about three times before attempting to answer any question and you will find you will get a better understanding of what is being asked of you. Please be sure to back up your answers with facts from the textbook, and put together complete and well-thought-out responses. I am looking for original input so please integrate your thoughts and experiences into each case assignment. Also make sure that you support and reinforce your answers and replies with factual information from the textbook, research, work/life experiences, etc
