  Stop the video questions – Throughout the video I will insert “stop the video” slides.  I will present a question for you to answer.  These are discussion questions, not test questions.  They are the type of questions you might receive in a traditional in-class setting, designed to spark discussion on the topic.  These answers do not have to be researched or fully developed; they are your reactions to the topic of the video.  I suggest opening your word processor and typing the answer to each question.  Please label each question with the question number presented on the slide (example question 1-3).    

2727 unread replies.3535 replies.For this assignment you will be using pre-writing techniques to generate specific ideas, details and examples for your essay.
Process:
In your journal: Try to fill a number of pages with the following directed brainstorming exercises. This will help you develop material for your essay.
1. List specific examples of ways that people use the 8 different types of intelligence described in Gardner’s essay. List as many examples as you can from each type. Many activities will need to be listed under a few intelligences. Cooking, for example, would fall under kinesthetic as well as logical.

 

2. Create a cluster or mind map brainstorming examples from your own personal experience with the 8 intelligences. (Write the type of intelligence in the middle of the page and then all the specific examples around in bubbles. Or put yourself in the middle and go from there.) Think of examples from throughout your life. Get specific. See how many you can come up with.

 

3. Once you have filled a page or two, take one example from Step 1 or 2 and write it at the top of another page. Freewrite about that specific example. Describe in specific sensory detail. (Who, what, where, when—scent, sights, touch, sounds, taste.)

 

4. Repeat Step 3. Repeat until you have described many examples.

 

Discussion Forum: Post one or two descriptions, notes, or ideas from your journal; about a page is good.

 

In your responses to classmates, see if you can extend and connect ideas. This type of group brainstorming can be very fruitful in developing ideas for an essay.

Please make sure that you carefully address each question including details to support your answers.  Each answer should connect back to information from the book or discussion videos.  Please use detail from the class to answer each question.  The strongest answers will have specific detail regarding topics from the book and lectures.

 

You will use the 2 case studies from Harvard Business Publishing to complete the paper. Please note that there are strict copyright rules for the use of this case. 

 

Please address each question separately.  Label the question with the number below, and organize your document by question. 

 

Questions for “The Team that Wasn’t”

 

1. How effective has this team been?
2. What norms have emerged?
3. What is the culture of the group? How would you evaluate their interpersonal processes using concepts from the book?
4. What leadership theories apply either as leadership you see as present or leadership concepts that are not present, but you feel would be useful?

 

Questions for “Can you fix a toxic culture”

 

1. Create a fishbone diagram to analyze possible root causes of problems in the organization. Include an actual diagram.
2. What is the culture of the organization? What type of work attitudes are relevant to this case?
3. What leadership elements (or lack of) and theories do you see operating in this case?
4. What plan of action would you create in this scenario?
5. What ethical issues are raised by this case?
6. What elements of psychological contracts may exist for employees in this case?

 

      This is your culminating project in place of a final exam.  All work should be completed independently, without consulting other students, faculty, or others.  The work must be your own, do not copy material from the internet.  More thorough answers will receive more points.

Reading the entire article is highly recommended. For the purposes of this assignment, you will only be reporting on section 6 of the article: 6. Decalogue Content.
