Imagine you are a proposing a training on systemic leadership for Skyland Trail. Develop a PowerPoint presentation describing how systemic leadership could be applied to the people side and structural side of Skyland Trail. Make sure you equally address the following:
1. How does systemic leadership apply to how you would work with the people in your organization?
2. How does systemic leadership apply to how you would work with the processes and structures of your organization?
3. Give a few examples of how you could implement people and structural processes as they relate to systemic leadership.
Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as speaker notes for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.
Support your presentation with at least five scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources may be included.
Length: 12-15 slides, PowerPoint
Notes Length: 100-150 words for each slide

Create a 2-3 page draft proposal for the Final Research Proposal (due at a later date). Be sure to include the research question, literature review, hypothesis, etc (see attached).
-Please review the two writing samples attached as well as the feedback notes. This is JUST A DRAFT and will be build upon in the final phase.
-I have added a few references and can add more at a later. Please avoid international journals as they are hard to get copies of. Would like a combination of books and scholarly article references.

Describe an example of your leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped resolve disputes, or contributed to group efforts over time

The assignment is about an in-depth project for a master’s thesis, we are two people who will write this project, only my part will be written by you (see attachment), which is the theory of inter-organisational relations. A part has already been written by one of you, but there is something missing so more needs to be built on. I received feedback from my supervisor, who believed that there were too many theories that had been mentioned. The supervisor said that the theories used must be relevant for further research (the master’s thesis), and that 2 or a maximum of 3 relevant theories should be chosen (remember to remove the theories that do not need to be included anyway), RDT and the collaboration theory were good enough and that it should be more in-depth and a link to knowledge development in the theory part so that there is a red thread between my text and the person who will write a theory about knowledge development. The research questions you proposed should also contain knowledge development, as entire preliminary projects are about “Inter-organisational relations and knowledge development”.
There must therefore be some mention of knowledge development through the text, I think the supervisor meant it so that there would be a connection between my text and the fellow student’s text.
When you remove the pages that are not to be included anyway (about 3 pages), then you must fill those pages again with more relevant content as said.
