The Organizational Leadership Term Paper SPR21 is intended to serve two purposes.
First, it should cause you to look back over Eikenberry and the characteristics of a good leader and to begin putting them all together in your mind as you envision a “remarkable leader.”
Second, it should cause you to look ahead to the end-of-semester project where you will have to interview a leader about what leadership is. You should be able to take some of the ideas that you pull into this paper and use them as talking points and questions in your interviews later.
For this paper, I’d like for you to write around the topic of “What qualities do you think are essential to leadership, and what makes one person a better leader than another person?” Yep. Pretty open-ended.
I would suggest that you start with your Eikenberry journal articles and see what you can pull from them as you think about the body of the paper. It is intended to be a blend of academic research and your interpretation and thoughts.
From a structural perspective, it will be 4 ½ to 5 pages, with up to 5 academic journal references that are built into the paper using APA style. You may reference Eikenberry, but that WILL NOT count as one of the references, although it should be listed on your reference page.
There should not be a cover page or any type of introductory class material on the first page (in other words, I do not want you to take up space on the first page by putting your name, my name, the class name, the date, the semester, etc). In a header on each page, put your name and the running header title of your paper, such as “Sams – Leadership Traits.”
The paper will be written in Calibri font, 11-point typeface, and it will use the 1.15 line spacing setting, with 0pts before and 10pts after each paragraph. It should use the default Word margins. Email me if you do not know how to set all of this up, because you will lose easy points if you do not use this formatting.
The very first line on the very first page should start the introduction to your paper, and you should have written four full pages and be at least ¾ of the way down the fifth page when you are done. It should not go more than three lines onto the sixth page. There does not have to be any headings or subheadings. You should have some sort of brief introduction to the paper and some sort of wrap-it-all-up conclusion section.
Please insert your reference information into the body of the paper using the (author, date) method and place all references on a reference page which does not count as one of your 4 3/4 pages.
Please note that I will be using a plagiarism detection software in the grading of the papers, so make sure that you summarize any reference information from published sources (academic journals, etc.) into your own words. I DID NOT use this plagiarism software with your Eikenberry articles, because I wanted you to be able to cut and paste from those documents into this term paper, if the flow was natural. If we had used the software on those files, it would have flagged this paper as a plagiarism of those files. If you copied and pasted from the articles into your Eikenberry papers, it will show here as plagiarizing from the original source, so put that in your own words. Even if you put it in your own words when you did the Eikenberry summaries, putting your own words into slightly different words should further ensure that the software doesn’t think that there are any matches. This software looks at anything that has been published, including books, websites and blogs, magazines and journals, and other papers all over the world that have been put through this software. Short answer – do not use ANYTHING from any other source without putting it into your own words first.
When you have attached your file to the dropbox, close the box and come back a little while later to see what the “originality score” is that is attached to it. This score is inaccurately named, as a HIGH number indicates that a LOT of material IS NOT original. You are trying to get a number as close to zero as possible. If your paper has a higher number than you want, you can rework parts and submit a second file. I have set up the assignment dropbox to only keep the MOST RECENT file.
Please email me if you have questions.
The basic grading is this, and there is a more detailed grading rubric in a separate Excel file attached to this dropbox.
