MGMT 601 Assignment 1: Leadership Development

This assignment for MGMT 601 is divided into two parts. Part 1 focuses on double loop learning, requiring students to analyze the challenges of Model I and Model II and provide personal examples of their usage. Part 2 delves into leader development using the Action-Observation-Reflection (AOR) model. Students must choose a work scenario and explain how they can enrich their leadership experiences using the AOR model, considering how perception and expectations can bias the process and affect follower motivation and performance. The assignment has a 3000-word limit, with specific word counts for each part, and requires adherence to APA style guidelines. A Turnitin similarity score of up to 20% is acceptable, with penalties for higher scores. The assignment emphasizes avoiding direct quotes and overlapping references to minimize the similarity score.

Turninit: The Similarity Score
1) YOU ONLY GET ONE CHANCE TO HAND IN YOUR ASSIGNMENT IN
Turninit!!!
2) Acceptable range: up to 20%
a. The university policy is 10 to 15%
b. So I’m ALREADY giving you 5% extra
3) If your similarity score is between 20 and 30%
a. I will deduct up to 40% of your grade depending on the case
4) Over 30%
a. Automatic fail

5) If you use Grammerly as an initial check for similarity score, remember that Turninit will
add about 10~15% to the score you get from Grammerly so you have to account for this.
Tips on lowering similarity scores
1. No direct quotes from references (NOT EVEN ONE SENTENCE)
a. This is only a small problem
b. The bigger problem is overlapping references (below)
2. Usually the list of references is the most problematic section for the similarity score
a. If it was easy to search for your references, then it’s very likely that other students
have used them already
i. This will lead to a significant increase in your score
b. Do a good job of researching so your list of references are not going to overlap
with other students
i. Avoid searching through Google
ii. Go to the library (not just our school but also other libraries) and search
for books
iii. Search for online journal articles from scholarly portals
