You are a new supervisor (you have been there 2 months) at a large organization that develops technology for the military. You have previous military service experience and just finished your Bachelor’s Degree in Management from APUS.
You are doing well so far; your immediate boss is happy with the quotas being met and can see the changes in the behavior of some of the employees around you. However, there are three employees who work for you that are causing some issues. You must constantly remind them of due dates and their work is marginal.
You decided to counsel each of them in private of course. During the counseling sessions, you found that all three employees say that you think you’re still in the military and expect too much too soon.
One said that you use positional power all the time, another said that they felt you are not receptive to their ideas on how to make the work environment more fun. The last one told you that should have stayed in the military since you like to order everyone around!

W3: Communications
Contains unread posts
Hello Students,
1. For this Ace my homework – Write my paper – Online assignment help tutors – Discussion, you need to read Part III “Communicating with Others Proactively” in your textbook.
2. Ace my homework – Write my paper – Online assignment help tutors – Discuss the key elements of positive and proactive communications that are missing in the below scenario and any other aspects of the situation you feel need to be corrected (and why). Also, complete any tasks within the scenario.
3. Then respond to at least two (2) of your peer’s answers by selecting the “Reply” link. Were they effective in their approach to each scenario?
Ace my homework – Write my paper – Online assignment help tutors – Discussion Scenario:
(A). One-on-one supervisor with employees
Your peer (a first-line supervisor at a major retail store) is conducting a performance evaluation of a subordinate in the break room, where numerous other employees are eating lunch. Your peer is raising their voice and noticeably frustrated with the employee. The employee is attempting to defend their position but it is obvious your peer will not let them get a word in edge-wise. You notice numerous other employees shaking their heads. You decide to approach your peer (also a friend) and address what you saw. What do you say?
(B). Supervisor to a team
You are a team member on a major project for a defense contractor. Your supervisor has just called an “urgent meeting” to discuss the current problems with the project’s progress. The project is months behind and slightly over budget. Most people feel it is due to the lack of resources (your project is the third priority). The meeting is in 30 minutes and you have no additional details as to the meeting content. Your supervisor routinely calls meetings with little or no warning and then expects various employees to brief their portions of the project. When employees cannot brief their sections, the meeting is often canceled and rescheduled for after normal working hours to allow “time to better prepare (words of your supervisor).” You have had enough; you decide to email your supervisor and recommend a better way to conduct the meeting.
(C). Supervisor with a manager.
You are the manager of a department at the local shipyard. You have 7 supervisors that work for you and run the day-to-day operations of your six divisions. One of your supervisors continually disrupts planning meetings to discuss personal problems within their division. They dominate the meeting time and often no one else gets to talk. You have talked to him and counseled him several times about the proper time and place to discuss the specific division and worker problems. Your friend (a manager of another department) recommends that your move the supervisor to a less challenging division or have the meeting without him. What are you going to do? How? Why?

W4: The Future Leader

1. In your opinion what are some of the trends that will impact the future of leadership?
2. What skills will the future leaders need to possess and why?
3. What will be some of the differences managers and leaders will face 10 years from now vs. today?
4. How will employees’ attitudes towards work and life change in the next 10 years?

Week 7: Leading in Change
Hello Students,

1. For this Ace my homework – Write my paper – Online assignment help tutors – Discussion, you need to read Part V “Dealing with Change Positively” in “Excellence in Supervision” in the Conlow (2001) text. Also read “The Future Leader” (Morgan, 2020) Part 2, Trends and Challenges Shaping Future Leaders pages 37-43 and Chapter 21, “The Technology Teenager” pages 241-243.

2. Week 7 focuses on Supervision during Change. Change happens at a very rapid pace in our modern technological society, and it can be very stressful and difficult for companies. Your job, as a supervisor, is to help manage the change and lead your company to a more productive era. Your initial discussion post will be a letter or brief the employees of Green Transportation.

3. Respond to at least two (2) of your peer’s answers by selecting the “Reply” link. Your replies should be from the perspective of a disgruntled (or happy) employee who does not think the company will keep everyone on once the plant is automated. Point out all the concerns you would have based on their brief (do not use any of the info from the scenario above, assume you only know what is in their letter. You can even have one reply to the discussion from someone who looks forward to the change in technology and one reply from the “not so thrilled” worker.
________________________________________
The Scenario – You have been chosen by your CEO to prepare a brief or letter for your company to explain the changes that the organization will be experiencing. The CEO chose you because you are known to have your finger on the pulse of the workers and embrace technology. He wants you to reassure the workforce of the coming changes.

The CEO told you that he has heard numerous rumors of low morale, employees looking for new jobs, possible strikes (your workers are union) and even threatening comments. Your company is ELO Transportation, a small local company that takes normal gasoline engine vehicles and transforms them into electric-powered vehicles. Your company so far has transformed a few buses, garbage trucks, tow trucks, and numerous other vehicles for your community (a town of 100,000 people) however, with automation, machine learning, and AI the company is looking to launch nationwide. This will happen in the next two years.

A large percentage of your workforce are older workers and are really concerned about learning new technology and losing their job to “dumb machines”!

You can “make up” facts to help your brief, just make sure your work is pertinent to the course material.

Post your work into the discussion board. A good guideline for your brief is the “Ten Commandments for Implementing Change,” (Conlow, 2001) section of your text. Also, another good tool to use might be the “Implications for Leaders” chart in “The Future Leader” (Morgan, 2020) page 43.

W8: Favorite CEO, Leader Avatar and Wrap Up
Class,
I hope that you enjoyed the reading material from Jacob Morgan on future leaders. We only briefly touched on some of the book, however, I would encourage each of you to go further in exploring the Four Mindsets of the Notable Nine (Explorer, Chef, Servant, Global Citizen) and the Five Skills of the Notable Mind (Futurist, Yoda, Translator, Coach, Technology Teenager). Ask yourself where you are in any of these categories as a leader, can you recognize if you have any of these mindsets or skills?
I need help writing my essay – research paper answer the following questions for our last discussion.
1. Who was you favorite CEO discussed in the Morgan textbook and why?
2. If you were building a leader avatar, what would it look like and what would be some of the strengths and weaknesses that you would list for yourself? Have fun with this one, if you would like to “build” one and make a graphic and insert it for us to view that could be quite interesting.
3. Lastly, what I would like is some student feedback. I need help writing my essay – research paper pass me two items/areas that you enjoyed from this course, and one item/area/subject that you didn’t enjoy quite as much, wanted more explanation on, or that wasn’t clear. Anything that you provide will be used to improve this course for those that follow you.
I need help writing my essay – research paper remember to reply to two other students just as you have done for the past 7 weeks.
Thank you in advance. In closing, I leave you with this:
“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do and liking how you do it.”
~ Maya Angelou

Assignment 1: New Supervisor Power Point Project (Due Week 3)

Instructions
Topic: Teaching Effective Supervisor Skills
Instructions: This project requires you to develop a PowerPoint slide presentation for use as a training tool with brand new supervisors! You are in charge of presenting them with information on how to transition from a worker to a supervisor. There is great satisfaction in taking a brand new employee, helping them to develop their Management, Coaching, and Leadership skills, and then watching them excel! With this in mind, your presentation should have a title slide, an overview, and a body of slides for the audience. You should focus the majority of your presentation (i.e., 8-10 slides) on what challenges a new supervisor may face, what makes a good supervisor (or bad one), and how to transition to becoming a supervisor. Factors to consider in all forms of communication–Who is your audience? What is your message? Are you trying to persuade? Inform?
Here are some guidelines to get you started: You are the Day Shift Supervisor and are going to brief a small group of newly-promoted team leads with little or no past leadership experience. They have all worked up through the ranks at the Always Smiling Toothbrush manufacturing facility. Your audience ages are anywhere from 25-55 years of age, with various business backgrounds, some with military experience, and some that have been in a little trouble before but now want to move up in the company. Many of them have good friends still in lower positions and will have a struggle adjusting. Have fun with some of the topics and graphics of course!
Submission Instructions: IMPORTANT! Save and submit your work as a PowerPoint Presentation with speaker notes
Link here on how to do this in PPT
The body of your presentation should include at least 8-10 presentation slides, in addition to a title slide, introduction slide(s), and references at the end of your presentation for a total of no more than 15 slides. PowerPoint presentations longer than 15 slides will not be read after the 15th slide. As such, please ensure that all assignment questions are answered within the first 15 slides, as your grade will be based on the first 15 slides received.
Your grade will be based on your ability to follow assignment instructions, research conducted, the effectiveness of the training proposed, critical thinking and analysis, and Ace homework tutors – APA 7th edition format.

I need help writing my essay – research paper support your ideas, arguments, and opinions with independent research, include at least three (3) supporting references or sources (do NOT use your textbook as one of the three required references, or encyclopedias, Wikipedia, unknown, undated, or anonymous sources, such as brief articles from websites), include a reference section (i.e., 1-2 slides), and cite all sources properly in the text of each slide, in accordance with the 7th edition of the Ace homework tutors – APA manual.
Helpful Tips
I encourage you to go online to Purdue OWL, or Excelsior OWL, which has excellent writing labs for students. Look up PowerPoint presentations in Ace homework tutors – APA format in the search box. These websites will have helpful tips on best practices. TED talks are also another great source of good information.

Assignment 2: Research Paper: Supervisory Skills (Due Week 5)

Instructions
Research Paper: New Supervisory Skills
Your research paper is based on the following scenario:
You have just taken over as a Shift Supervisor at Fast Fleet Shoes Manufacturing and have a team of 30 under you. Your educational and training level is exactly what you have today.
Your teams rotate shifts every 3 weeks and there are two shifts, morning, 0700-3:30 PM and evening, 3PM to 11:30PM. You have the flexibility to move people around shifts, and you stay on the same shift, with overlap (i.e. your hours are 9-6). Two co-leads take over when you are not there and stay on shifts with their workers.
The previous supervisor was let go for cause, failure to meet quotas and leadership inability. The department’s morale is very low and there is a great deal of pressure for your shift to perform.
On top of this, there is a problem with some of your employees, one is always late and the other calls in sick frequently (you can decide what factors lead to their absenteeism). The previous supervisor never did anything about this and everyone knew it was an issue. One of your co-leads has brought it to your attention and wants to know when you are going to fix it.
You also have an employee that has been there for 14 years and has never been promoted to co-lead or supervisor. He came to you and wants to know why? He is an older worker and knows what he is doing, however, one of your co-leads told you that some of the younger workers grumble that he is too slow and can’t learn new technology. He also stated that unless he gets the opportunity to move up, he’ll quit and make sure that management knows you never gave him a chance.
Finally, there is a brand new worker, a single mother, who is super sharp and a very hard worker. She told you on your first day there how much she loves working at the company and wants to progress upward. However, childcare is an issue and sometimes she needs to leave early. Currently no one does any work from home (your organization has not embraced it as a culture), however, in her position (she is inventory control) she feels she can perform this just as effectively from home several days a week and ask you if this is possible? What is your response?
You are to develop a solution to present to each of your co-leads on how to start fixing some of these issues. Make the paper informative, with some of the techniques and terms that we have addressed thus far in the course that deal with new supervisors. This about the terms leaders vs. managers, counseling, feedback, types of leaders, SMART objectives, SWOT, generational differences, Theory X and Y, MBWA, and favoritism. These terms are not all-inclusive and you are welcome to add others to support your solutions.
This can be a narrative paper, informative paper, a letter (albeit a long one) or a talking paper. You can use the first person to discuss what you think needs to be done. You can also assign tasks or take tasks away from co-leaders.
Your supervisor, co-leads, and workers can have fictional names, you can add in additional issues or factors and most of all, have fun and be creative in developing this workplace. Your co-leads can be good or bad at their job, you can decide how little or much you want to delegate to them as well as how much reporting back to you is needed.
Think about these challenges you will face as a new supervisor. You may want to break this into fixing immediate problems, a six-month goal, and one-year goal.
You should use proper Ace homework tutors – APA 7th edition formatting.
You should have a title page, 3-5 pages of body content, and the last page of references. I need help writing my essay – research paper make sure that your paper has references even if you write it in a letter format.
Use at least 3 references for your paper. They should be articles that support your paper or lessons we have covered. Do not use Wikipedia!
The paper should contain no more than 20% direct citations or quotations. That means 80% should be your own analysis, thoughts, and ideas.
Have fun writing this and make sure to use good terms and sources.

Assignment 3: Research Paper: Leaders in Cinema (Due Week 7)
