Observation Paper (20 percent)
Select an organization in which you have worked or with which you are very familiar enough to perform an observation. Identify the organization’s mission, vision, and core values. Discuss the culture of the organization as you experienced it.
Using your understanding of the relationship among mission, vision, culture, and leadership, make four (4) recommendations for improvements in the organization. For example, you may discover that the employees are unaware of or do not consistently act in accordance with the core values of the organization. Perhaps the culture of the organization is inappropriate to support the achievement of the mission. Your recommendations should recognize the importance of mission, vision, and core values, and the impact those statements should have on the culture of the organization. Students are expected to apply terminology and concepts of leadership to the paper.
You will be required to submit a three-four paper. Writing should be clear and concise in APA format. This means that students are required to use outside credible sources with in text citations and a reference list. Students are expected to paraphrase and not use quotes. Deductions will be taken when quotes are used and found to be unnecessary.
