Title: Developing an Adaptive Leadership Toolkit to Address Organizational Challenges
Scenario
You work as a director of leadership and learning for an organization that makes prosthetics. This year’s employee engagement survey results for the organization show that some leadership practices are rated lower, while some practices were rated higher. The new chief human resources officer (CHRO) met with the team to discuss the general results. Everyone agrees that the company’s focus should be on both specific leadership development areas perceived as strengths and on those rated as areas for improvement, primarily regarding social intelligence, emotional intelligence, and the interpersonal skills of effective leaders.
To help this initiative, your manager, the vice president of leadership and learning, asked you to create an adaptive leadership toolkit that can be used throughout the organization. To begin this work, you conducted a personal leadership self-assessment and turned this into a personal development plan. Then you shared this artifact with your manager. Your manager was impressed with the thoroughness of the personal development plan and saw value in incorporating it as an exemplar within the adaptive leadership toolkit for use by all people leaders in the organization. After receiving such positive feedback from your manager, you are now ready to move forward on developing the adaptive leadership toolkit that will be shared with your manager and chief human resources officer (CHRO) of the organization.
Prompt
Summarize the business problems the organization is currently facing and describe how the adaptive leadership toolkit will address these problems.
Based on the employee satisfaction survey, identify the skills and behaviors that are current strengths exhibited by leadership and explain how these strengths are critical to the success of the organization.
Based on the employee satisfaction survey, identify the skills and behaviors that are current areas of weakness for leadership and explain how these areas may be improved by applying the self-assessment you used to create your own personal development plan.
Describe the importance of including a personal development plan as an exemplar in the adaptive leadership toolkit and explain how SMART goal setting can help to improve the areas of weakness for leaders within the organization.
Explain how the personal development plan and SMART goal setting could help develop the leadership styles of the leaders within the organization.

“Uncovering the Truth: The Hidden Dangers of Methamphetamine” Slide 1: Title slide with project title and presenter’s name Slide 2: Introduction – Briefly introduce the topic of drug use and the purpose of the presentation
Many of the drugs that we will cover in this course have serious risks and long-term side-effects. Efforts in the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) and similar programs tried unsuccessfully to discourage drug use in children and young adults. These programs often were based on scare tactics and only highlighted the dangerous parts of drug use which teens found to be disingenuous. The goal here is to create informative and honest content to educate young adults about a potentially dangerous drug – this project should not ignore the desired effects and should focus on how a drug influences their brains and bodies.
Potential Drugs for Presentation: Heroin, Fentanyl, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Adderall
The presentation should cover the following points:
• How does the drug work?
• What are the risks (from a biological lens)? **This is the biggest section for this project**
• Are there long-term health effects?
• What do you do in case of addiction and/or overdose?
DETAILS FOR PROJECT:
Create a presentation tailored to a general audience and NOT an expert in the drug you choose.
• Include a brief summary (1-2 slides or equivalent) on the drug and its mechanism of action. The majority of your presentation should NOT come from the video lectures from the course, but from independent research and should include a minimum of 3 studies from the primary literature (USE PUBMED AS A RESOURCE FOR LITERATURE)that support your presentation. 25% of the project will be based on accessibility to a non-expert, creativity and keeping the interest of your audience!
• Create a script for me to record a video (maximum of 12 minutes) to cover the basic information about the drug and the questions listed for each project (see above). The video should be accompanied by visual aids (e.g. powerpoint slides, whiteboard drawings, etc). Please be as creative as possible! -

“Persuading for Civic Engagement: The Power of Visual Aids in Effective Speech Delivery”
Visual Aid(s) – the use of at least one visual is required.
Time limit: 6 minutes (safe range 5:30 – 6:30, outside of that you start to lose points)
Delivery Form: extemporaneous
Research: Basic research requirements: At least two separate sources with sources cited within the text of the speech, with parenthetical references (or endnotes or footnotes) and with a works cited page.
Objective:
IMPORTANT: All speech topics must rise to the level of being Civic Engagement. That specifically means a topic that has beneficiaries (or benefits, or impacts) someone or something beyond your audience. So for example, persuading us to get more sleep is not Civic Engagement, this topic only seeks to benefit the audience. Persuading us to help combat food insecurity by donating to a food bank does rise to Civic Engagement. Or persuading us that we need to raise the minimum wage. Apply this logic to any topic you chose.
Option A: A speech of 6 minutes designed to persuade the audience on either a Question of Fact or a Question of Value. This speech will require research and skillful handling of the methods of persuasion. Individuals who speak on Questions of Fact will need to give special attention to evidence and reasoning. Those who speak on Questions of Value must be sure to identify their standards for judgment and to justify their value in light of these standards. This speech will require research and a skillful use of the methods of persuasion. Special emphasis should be given to evidence and reasoning.
Option B: A speech of 6 minutes designed to persuade for or against a Question of Policy. Speakers may seek either passive agreement or immediate action from the audience, the latter being encouraged as long as there is an appropriate action for the audience to take. In either case, speakers should be sure to deal with all three basic issues of policy speeches – need, plan and practicality. This speech will require research and a skillful use of the methods of persuasion. Special emphasis should be given to evidence and reasoning.
* The speech must be timed to no more than six minutes. All grading will stop at nine minutes and the speaker will lose points for any aspects of the speech not covered due to being over the time limit. -
