Developing a Leadership Plan
Select a contemporary leadership challenge. It can be in your workplace, an organization you are currently or previously associated with, or an organization you can research through peer-reviewed resources. In this paper you will propose a leadership plan to the CEO and Board of Directors that will address this challenge.
Explain why leadership in this organization is not functioning to its potential and identify what needs to change.
Present a brief descriiption of at least four leadership models and determine which leadership model(s) are exhibited in this organization.
Select a model and explain how your selected model will support success for the organization.
Describe the exhibited behaviors by the leader(s), and explain whether they add value.
In analyzing the leader(s), present a brief descriiption of at least 4 leadership styles and determine which characteristics and leadership style exhibited requires improvement through reflection or training.
Explain to what extent conflict is present, both positive to challenge the status quo and negative based on personal agenda pursuit.
Examine the role that effective communication will serve toward conveying the scope of the problem and resolution in the situation.
Describe Tuckman’s teamwork performance stage, and recommend leader support to optimize conjoined efforts.
Summarize your findings and recommendations to the CEO and Board of Directors.
Your completed plan for the CEO and Board of Directors should be a minimum of seven pages in length. A title page or reference pages do not count toward this requirement. You may utilize charts, data, tables, and other visuals as needed, but this is not a requirement and does not count towards the page length.
You must use at least five peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to support the concepts for your paper, three of which must come from the CSU Online Library. Your textbook can be a resource. All sources used must have citations and references properly formatted in APA Style. APA formatting of your paper is also required.

Attached is the literature review for a research paper. The research question is: “How can leaders enhance communication within their trams in post-COVID-19 work environments”
The only section that needs to EDITED is Overview of Study 3. (which should contain AT LEAST on overview, a purpose, analysis and possible recommendations).The current writings are confusing and have too many additional sources added to the content. The overview of the study needs to be more precise and relate to research question/study. The notes from the grading have been added to the document. I have also added the original article for study 3 but it can be changed if needed for editing.
There needs to be an ADDED section of Theoretical Framework for the entire literature review.

Instructions:
Diversity in the workplace has never been a more relevant topic than in recent years. Understanding the impact of culture on a place of work and how to define workplace diversity is critical to any leadership role. Additionally, as the prevalence of workplace violence increases, nurse managers must understand both regulatory and leadership implications when assessing and addressing inappropriate or violent behaviors within teams.
In this Discussion Board, choose one of the topics below for your original post. Be certain to address each of the questions for that topic. In response to your peers make certain you participate in discussions of both topics.
Topic 1: Workplace Diversity
How would you define diversity in the workplace? How would you know if a workplace was diverse or not? What are advantages and disadvantages related to the level of diversity present in the workplace.
In your opinion, what are the positive and negative impacts of culture in the workplace? As a leader what should you encourage and discourage?
As a leader, how might you employ the national CLAS standards to accomplish this?
Topic 2: Workplace Violence
How would you define workplace violence? Provide examples of workplace violence from your readings, personal, or professional experience.
Are there reliable standards and clear definitions for workplace violence from a legal perspective? Do you think the definitions agree?
Which regulatory bodies provide the most reliable definitions? Are there any areas that may not be clear?
As a leader, you are responsible for preventing workplace violence. What resources would you recommend for a leader to assist with that responsibility?
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references.

Instructions and additional resource links are provided in the Word document attached. I’ve also attached 2 sources but feel free to include additional ones if relevant to the topic. Please let me know if you have any questions at all.

Coursework involves readings and two separate assignments.
Please see instructions attached. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Scenario
Suzan has worked for Organization ABC for one year. During her 30-day review, Suzan received amazing scores
from her supervisor. During her 60-day review, Suzan’s performance was deemed as acceptable, but her ability to
communicate with her colleagues was lacking. During Suzan’s 90-day review, Suzan’s supervisor, at the time,
expressed that her performance needed serious improvements. Unfortunately, Suzan’s supervisor noted the
following:
1. Suzan did not provide her colleagues with messages from customers and vendors.
2. Suzan’s phone skills were ineffective, especially when interacting with customers.
3. Suzan’s temper was a concern and she often raised her voice when she became frustrated.
You have been hired to replace Suzan’s previous supervisor. Between Suzan’s 90-day review and presently (her
annual review), you have noticed that Suzan’s performance still is a problem. Before her departure from the
organization, Suzan’s past supervisor stated, “Suzan is nice; however, she is a horrible communicator. I cannot work
with her, as she is such a challenge to deal with… Good luck, as Suzan is one of the worst employees of
Organization ABC.”
During your first week in your new role as supervisor, you met with Suzan to understand more about her
performance. She stated, “I am a hard worker; however, I only was told what I was doing wrong. I am willing to
learn. Can you help me become the best employee for Organization ABC? I want to succeed in this role.”
As a supervisor, you know that you have various responsibilities. One of your responsibilities is to address
performance deficiencies. Although Suzan was provided with a job descriiption, which included detailed
information about the critical nature of communication in her role, she needs additional support.
Create a plan, specific to Suzan’s needs, detailing how you will
utilize the following to ensure improved performance:
1. Observation and documentation
2. Updates
3. Feedback
4. Resources
5. Reinforcement
For example, when thinking about observation and documentation, what might you do to keep track of Suzan’s
performance? Why? When thinking about updates, how will you keep Suzan updated? Explain and justify your
rationale for each of the five components and why you made the recommendations that you provided.
Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:
Be 4-6 pages in length, which does not include the title and reference pages, which are never a part of the
content minimum requirements.
Use APA style guidelines.
Support your submission with at least
two scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles.

Write a 2 page information paper on the attached article ( “Leadership in a People First Army by MAJ Gregory T. Isham). The paper must be presented so that it is understood by the reader in a single rapid reading, and is free of errors in substance, organization, style, incorrectness.

Write a 3-4 page paper explaining how Patagonia’s alignment and leadership embody both effective strategic planning and Jesuit leadership principles? Be sure to incorporate our course readings to support your work.

Your paper should comply with all APA requirements, including but not limited to proper citations and references, page numbering, margins, and use of a title page, abstract, and reference page.
