Use the Wall Street Journal menu link to find an article related to team management, or you may use any other periodical (e.g., Forbes, BusinessWeek, The Economist) with an article that contains relevant information.
Provide a link or reference to your article and briefly summarize the key ideas in the article. Then write at least two paragraphs reflecting on how your learning from this article could apply to your organization.
just summarize an article from either of the above sources on team management, here is an example:
Although nothing in this article hasn’t been said before about team building, it does highlight that the fundamentals have been tried and tested by many and still hold up. The one central idea this article does revolve around is condor and the importance of communicating your ideas and intent clearly to others. In my experience, when a manager or leader is able to communicate open and honestly, I have a much easier time trusting them.
Application of Ideas
One of the more difficult things I’ve had to do as a manager is giving annual performance reviews. Giving on the spot feedback has always been easier for me, but something about trying to cover a whole year in one conversation is difficult to me. In the article, it encourages managers to give feedback more often. So often, that people get used to it. This makes it easier when you sit down for an annual performance review, because they already know what to expect and there shouldn’t be any surprises.

You will provide a minimum of a 5-page double-spaced (Graphics and Tables are not included in the page count) analysis of a real system which successfully or unsuccessfully applied the principles of systems engineering. This is to be developed from your personal experience and individual research in the library, internet, INCOSE website, media, corporate sources, etc. Note that:
The analysis shall be of an actual system, and must demonstrate the successful planning or implementation of some of the systems engineering processes or the results of failure to apply these processes. Other aspects of the project you might report on include:
What were the social, political, economic and/or business management issues that affected technological choices and engineering decisions?
How did managers use the systems engineering process to account for these issues?
You do not need to footnote this report, but you must provide a reference list on an additional page. Citations are required in your choice of format (such as APA). Only provide significant sources which directly contribute to the analysis. The system can be a large commercial project in any country, an international project, a civil works project or a military weapon system (no restricted information should be included), but must be documented. No development project is perfect, so a description of failures as well as successes should be included.
For your source references, you MUST use at least one academic book and a minimum of two secondary sources. Wikipedia is NOT a source, except for very general background information. Graduate students need to have research skills, analysis and synthesis of detailed information as part of their toolkit.
Networking is a critical part of managing your career and like everything else related to your career, it must be done intentionally and strategically. Oftentimes we don’t consider networking until we need a new job and it is easy to appear desperate at that point. By building up your network before you actually need it, you are creating a safety net for yourself, minimizing the chances of needing to aggressively hit the job boards, and improving the odds of new opportunities actually finding you.
You must submit a (full) 1 page typed paper, consisting of 4-5 paragraphs in your own words expressing what leadership means to you in a professional role, and give specific examples showing what leadership is, and express what type of leader you are.
Please read some pages attached to get ideas. And reference
In a few pages, you are being asked to address your organization’s policy on workplace safety. Remember, you must be specific.
Your submission should have two sections:
The first part will address where the organization itself stands on workplace safety, and steps that it takes to comply with OSHA regulations. Remember, it’s all fine and good to say “we’re for safety.” Even the least compliant companies would state that assertion. You must be more specific than that, and address how you deal with the inevitable costs, reduced productivity, and lower profit margin from enacting and enforcing safety measures.
The second part will be an excerpt of a page or two from the company’s employee safety training manual. Be sure to include a company logo somewhere in the submission of part two.
