***Due Tomorrow before 9pm*** 

Begin this assignment by completing the Personal Assessment of Management Skills (PAMS). The Personal Assessment of Management Skills (PAMS) is a tool that will help you gauge your level of managerial skill competence. The PAMS include rating scales on sections regarding self-disclosure and openness to feedback as well as an awareness of your values, emotional intelligence, change orientation, and core self-evaluation. Overall you will create a profile of your leadership competence.

Then, share your PAMS assessment to at least three people who are familiar with your leadership qualities- a supervisor, colleagues, direct reports, etc. Ask those you select to reflect on your leaders’ skills and provide feedback that will help you to become a more effective manager. Include their feedback as you develop your Personal Development Plan to enhance your leadership capabilities.

Now, based on the results from your PAMS, feedback from selected individuals, and what you have studied in this course, create a Personal Development Plan to improve your leadership skills. The plan should include goals, objectives, timelines, and necessary resources.

Be sure to specify the following:

• Techniques you will implement to motivate employees and lead change, even when some oppose the change.
• An interpretation of your role in organizational planning.
• A critique of your skills in supervising a diverse workforce, indicating goals for improvement.

Support your assignment with at least seven scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.

Length: 12-15 pages, not including title and reference pages. Include a copy of your completed assessment with your paper. It is not counted in the pages required.

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards

Read the Disney case study located in the textbook on page 184. Choose a segment of Disney that could include theme parks (both domestic and global), feature films, television networks, theater productions, or consumer products. Thinking specifically about the segment that you have selected, how does Disney connect with the target market? What are some of the challenges associated with this segment? Use examples to support your position. 

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

Prepare a ppt presentation with 12-15 slides as if you were a leadership instructor. I need to document what the approach or theory is based on, how it is different than the others, and when it is best used. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of each one. Give examples of when each theory would work best. Consider different positions like a construction plant manager or a school principal or a nurse and explain what approach would work best for the different positions? The ppt needs to incorporate the five approaches to leadership (Trait, Skills, Behavioral,  Situational, and Path-goal) and explain when to use them.  Bullets on most slides, each page should include a note section with at least 150 words in addition to the slide. Cite work, quotes should be properly cited. No excessive quotes use own words.  

Format:

Introductory Slide – Include a short introduction of your agenda/topics.

Length – 12 – 15 slides the citation page. Make sure you have at least 150 words in the note section of each page.  Do not include any quotes in your notes.  

Reference Page – Include at least two sources

• A primary concern about each of the following locations under consideration is the availability of qualified applicants:
  • Ottumwa, Iowa.

If you choose to use your own workplace (or an organization you are familiar with), use similar education and work experience requirements for potential candidates as well as three U.S. markets that fit with your selected organization.

Use federal, state, county, and city government websites, including Chamber of Commerce or local visitor bureau sites, or any appropriate resources, to develop the data and information needed to guide the decision-making process for FFH or for your own workplace or selected organization.

While companies that serve local or regional markets may utilize in-house delivery resources, most businesses use third-party logistics (3PL) or engage in partnerships. Some of the larger players in online and omnichannel retail have acquired or built their own networks for B2C delivery and train workers for the future. Manufacturers and intermediary goods producers face a series of different obstacles in their B2B logistics in the domestic market. Readings for this assignment provide a broad perspective on today’s distribution channels.

Case Assignment

  This portion of the paper will be 1 page in length.
• Research the pros and cons of logistics delivery choices from the perspective of cost and customer service for Business to Consumer (B2C).

Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format. The paper should be written in the third person; this means words like “I,” “we,” and “you” are not appropriate. For more information, see Differences Between First and Third Person. The excessive use of quotes or unoriginal content will directly impact performance since it suggests a lack of comprehension and indicates that a student may not have mastered the concepts.
