Personal Reflection Paper
50 points possible
Submit to Blackboard as .doc, .docx., or .rtf attachment by: Tuesday, October 4 at 1200 noon
When reflecting on your own views of leadership, followership, and teams, it’s important to look back to where and how those views were formed, your current views, as well as look ahead to the future. This writing assignment will allow you to engage in reflection, analysis, and goal-setting.
Quality papers begin with an attention-getting introduction which previews what you’ll talk about in the paper in the exact order it is discussed.
Part 1: Personal Profile (approx. 1 page)
Discuss in a separate paragraph each of the following aspects.
- Followership experiences that have influenced you and how.
- Leadership skills/abilities you believe you naturally possess (things that come easily to you) along with leadership skills/abilities you have developed through your various experiences
- Your greatest accomplishments as part of a group (regardless of whether you were a leader or follower in that group). Point to specific or tangible/concrete accomplishments).
**Throughout this section, I will look for connections to course material (theories, concepts, etc.) as you explain each part of your profile!**
Part 2: Personal Leadership Philosophy (approx. 3/4 to 1 page)
In this a substantial paragraph, answer the following questions, highlighting the key concepts that are bolded below so I am sure to see them. Be sure to write in a cohesive paragraph—do not just number your answers.
- What is your code of ethics as a leader? In other words, what principles/values are essential to your leadership behaviors?
- Discuss your style of leadership (pulling on course material, naturally).
- Share your viewpoints about what makes you an effective leader.
Part 3: Personal Leadership/Followership Goals (approx. 3/4 to 1 page)
Regardless of your future plans and/or career path, you will have an opportunity to demonstrate and refine your group interaction skills.
Begin this section discussing how your past group experiences (in which you were a leader and/or a follower) relate or have prepared you for your career demands as well as your personal life.
Finish the section with three specific goals for the coming years that relate to either leadership or followership. These should be goals that you can begin working on yet this semester. You certainly do not have to achieve these goals by December 2015, but you should lay out a specific, tangible plan for how you can begin practicing and improving your abilities. Your plan should address a) the steps will you take in order to reach these goals; b) when these steps will take place, and c) how you will know when you’ve been successful in reaching your goals.
End the paper with a conclusion that reviews the ideas you’ve covered in the same order they appear, wrapping up the paper succinctly.
Final thoughts
This paper could easily be twice or even three times as long as the section length approximations specify. You likely will not find it particularly difficult to meet the recommended lengths. However, please note I will not read past the third page of your paper. Consider this an opportunity to make your thoughts concise, choosing your wording carefully.
You can and should use first-person in this paper, as it is your reflection.
Correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar are expected. Papers with excessive typos or errors will not be read or evaluated.
The paper should be written in essay format. You are strongly encouraged to use subheadings for each section to organize your thoughts, along with bolding key terms or concepts.
The paper should use double-spacing, 1-inch margins, and 12 point Times New Roman font.
You do not need to provide citations for course material if you are simply referencing concepts or terms. You should provide citations in APA format if you are using direct or paraphrased quotes from either textbook.

Project Analysis: Purchase of a New Mobile Primary Care Van
$7.00We are investigating the purchase of a new mobile primary care van to use in screening residents in an under-served Central Florida areas. The van will last for 5 years and costs $68,000. We will pay for the acquisition and maintenance of the van partially from foundation grants and partially from receipts from the county health department. The county has agreed to reimburse us $15 for each patient it screens using the new van. We expect to serve 800 patients per year with the van. It will cost $3,000 per year to maintain the vehicle, and includes all relevant costs. We use a discount rate of 5 percent.
- How much will we need in foundation grants this year to make the purchase break-even financially?
(Hint: What is the net present value of the costs of buying and operating the van over its lifetime, less the payments that will be received from the county? Are the payments from the county sufficient? If not, how much must be raised in grants before the van is purchased?)
I have attached a spreadsheet for you to use in coming up with these numbers. This must be turned in excel (otherwise it will earn a zero)

IT Value in Business Paper
$22.50Module 4 – Case: Sustaining IT Value for the Organization
As before, the Case for this module asks you to prepare an essay using the writing style, format and referencing methods described in the course Graded Activities and Writing Guides (see the Module 1 required supplemental readings)
This Module’s Case is about creating “IT value” through a combination of strategies, tools, cultural initiatives, and processes. Like most strategies, understanding IT value is an opportunity to combine management’s best practices internally and externally, as well as to create dialogue with non-IT leaders. The key is to identify new value opportunities as well as to improve upon current IT values by taking advantage of technology, partners, customers, and organizational experience.
IT managers are tasked not only to create IT value from cost reductions but also to communicate that IT is pivotal to value designed organizations. IT management must understand the concept of IT value creation at the strategic level in order to guide tactical processes, decisions, and operational improvements. Promoting IT value is also a strategy for guiding organizational policy to guard information services and the IT infrastructure from undue risk. As an IT policy example, the module introduces a brief article discussing organizational continuity and disaster recovery plans.
