Final Paper. This 10-page paper written in
APA style will include:
I. Abstract
II. Problem Statement (or Statement of Need)
III. Identification of Theory
IV. Review of Relevant Literature
V. Plan to Address the Problem or Need with Theory
VI. Evaluation of Plan Implementation
VII. Conclusion
VIII. References
The final paper topics can come from any of the material we have covered in the first three Units or that
we will cover in the last three Units (as noted in the syllabus).
In Section I your abstract should adhere to abstract guidelines set forth in the APA Manual.
In Section II you should identify a problem or need (something you deem to need improvement) in your
organization.
In Section III you should identify a theory or theoretical application from our studies (to include our
textbook) that you can apply in your organization to help mitigate the problem or eliminate the need.
In Section IV you should research the theory that you selected to identify relevant research or case studies
that may help apply the theory to improve your organization.
In Section V you should utilize your research from section IV and your personal knowledge of your
organization to develop a plan to implement a solution or program/intervention in your organization
(based on the theory you select and your research).
In Section VI you should determine how you will assess the success of the plan (metrics, survey data,
industry rankings, etc.) you will implement in your organization. This assessment should be detailed.
In Section VII you should summarize your paper.
Section VIII is your reference page; it needs to be in strict adherence to APA guidelines.
An example for a paper might include a student identifying a lack of effective decision making in their
organization. They may utilize Richard Daft’s effectiveness indicators as a theoretical base for their
paper. As a result of researching the theory, they identify Daft’s attribute of internal processes,
specifically decision making power at all organizational levels as something they want to utilize for
developing a plan to implement. The plan may include implementing decision making training, enhanced
communication protocols among workers, supervisors, and directors, or hiring more experienced
personnel. Evaluation measures to determine the success of the plan’s implementation could include
decreases in mistakes, cost savings, less grievances, etc.

TOPIC: LEADERSHIP IN THE WORKPLACE
Leadership in workplace
I would like to talk in my paper project about leadership why it is important, how we can become a leader and talk about three of its most famous theories,
“The Great Man Theory” by Thomas Carlyle who based this theory that the leader is a natural born leader most of the time in families that are already in power and for that reason people that are not born into the aristocracy or into the elite class can be a leader or at least great leaders.
Thomas Carlyle said that the natural leaders will arise according to the situations. “Trait Theory” is the second most important theory explained as well for Thomas Carlyle but in a different decade, this theory mentioned that the leaders born with a very specific characteristics or traits. Finally,
“The Behavioral Role Theory” by George Herbert Mead that mention that people need to socialize with the roles and follow them. I believe that it a very interesting topic from which we will learn more about if the leader is natural born, the leaders must have a specific characteristic or if the leaders can be made and why leadership it is important.
