SLP will need a cover sheet and References page SERVANT LEADERSHIP, LEADERSHIP COMMUNICATION, AND Organizations as systems Background In today’s business world, we rely on leaders to make persuasive arguments to motivate employees and “get the job done.” This requires both written and oral skills. In Module 1 SLP, we examined the use of ethos, logos, and pathos in influence. In this SLP, you will apply these principles to make your own argument as if you were a supervisor in your Fortune 10 company. Required Reading Refer to the required and optional readings on effective communication messages and methods, as well as the readings from Module 1 on ethos, logos, and pathos. Session Long Project Using what you have learned in this module and module 1 about effective communication, develop a slide deck (minimum of 8 slides) with voice narration in which you introduce a new organizational policy at your company. Keys to the Assignment The key aspects of this assignment that, at a mimimum, should be covered in your presentation include: Your presentation should consist of at least 8 slides explaining the implementation of a new organizational policy (e.g., no cell phones on the job) and an audio recording of your presentation (no more than 5 minutes long) where you (a dedicated leader) communicate the benefits and implications of your policy. The goal is to be able to influence (e.g., ethos, logos, pathos) your followers/audience to embrace this organizational change. Once you have completed the PowerPoint presentation, you will use “Record Narration” to record your presentation using a microphone. You will submit the PowerPoint presentation with voiceover for a grade. (Please discuss any special issues with your instructor if you are unable to complete any portion of this assignment). You will be particularly assessed on: Your completion of all the steps in the exercise. Your ability to synthesize information and present a concise and meaningful PowerPoint and audio presentation. How well you demonstrate the principles of communication presented in this module. The clarity and quality of your PowerPoint and audio presentations.
