a) INTRODUCTION: List the topics selected, the movies that address each topic, and the type of organization where you will apply the “lessons learned.”
(b) SUMMARY: Include a summary (two to three paragraphs) of the two movies you selected. Keep in mind I may not have watched the movies, and need to understand each movie’s main content.
(c) CONNECTIONS: Tie each movie to a diversity and inclusion topic. Reference credible sources (see “paper guidelines,” below). You may also add here “lessons learned“ from the movies, the articles/book chapters you read, and class discussions.
(d) ETHICAL LEADERSHIP APPLICATIONS: Explain how you would apply what you learned as an ethical leader. Remember that leadership is not the same as authority. We all have the ethical responsibility to lead, wherever we are and whatever our position may be. Keep in mind our class mantra: “What will you do with the power you were given?”
(e) ORGANIZATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Finally, write a series of recommendations for your organization. What should the top leadership DO to enhance inclusion and psychological safety?
Make sure your final paper addresses ALL the items above.
Your final paper should follow the APA style.
- Include an APA formatted COVER page. Tip: For a sample APA paper, CLICK HERELinks to an external site..
- Each page should be numbered using the correct APA format.
- Citations should be included using the proper in-text APA format,
- Your sources may include peer-reviewed journal articles, credible industry publications such as the Harvard Business Review, and credible websites from research, think tanks, or academic organizations. Look for articles no older than five (5) years. Exception: Theoretical content may be found in older publications.
- What’s the minimum – Here is a “rule of thumb” guideline: You will probably need at least one page for each of the paper components: Introduction, Summaries, Connections, Ethical Leadership Applications, and Organizational Recommendations. If you write the minimum, therefore, you will need 5 (five) pages, not including the cover and the reference pages.
