Preparing for the assessment
In preparing for this assessment you should keep in mind the learning outcomes (above) and seek to draw on material from the key debates and issues that have been discussed across the whole module. This means that to get a good grade you must look carefully at the wording of the assignment question and try to break it down into manageable chunks. You should then seek to use the material from your lecture\/workshops as evidence to support your answers to the question, i.e.:-<\/p>\n
Define terms e.g.
what you mean by \u2018evaluation\u2019, effectiveness, \u2018LMD\u2019, \u2018competences\u2019 and the meaning of success (i.e. individual or organisational)
\u2022Annalise the situation, and discuss some of the inherent difficulties involved with measuring leadership competencies
\u2022Draw appropriate conclusions, and then
\u2022Provide recommendations and consider how you would go about
Implementing and evaluating progress on the basis of the complexities you have identified.<\/p>\n
Standard Report Structure
Below is a standard response structure. Note this is just a guideline. It is not an exhaustive list of everything you need to include in your report. It just gives a basic structure to use. You will need to adapt it for the needs of this assignment.
1 A Title Page
1.1 This should show
1.1.1 The title
1.1.2 Your name and Student Number
1.1.3 Your personal identifier (NB: this should also be at the top of every sheet)
, module details
1.1.4 An explanation of who the report is for, e.g. \u2018A Report for [tutor\u2019s name\/name of manager]
1.1.5 The date<\/p>\n
2 Contents List
2.1 This should show
2.1.1 The full list of sections within the report (including any appendices, reference or bibliographic lists; etc.)
2.1.2 The page number on which each section begins
3 A Summary
3.1 A half \u2013 one page summary which outlines, in no more than three short Paragraphs (and preferably just one), what the report says.
3.2 You should write this last.
3.3 It should be in the third person and present tense, e.g. \u2018The report considers the arguments in favour of Quality Circles and makes recommendations about their adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n
4 An Introduction
4.1 This should give a succinct explanation of the aims\/context of the report, and should include brief details of any information necessary for the reader to understand it, e.g. company size; structure; main activities; your role\/position; etc.<\/p>\n
5 The Main Body of the Report
5.1 This is where you present your main account of the problem or issue you are writing about.
5.1.1 It should be based on analysis, not intuition, e.g. avoid writing \u201cI feel\u2026
5.1.2 Back up what you write with evidence and\/or argument. This means
5.1.2.1 Substantiate each assertion you make with evidence, e.g. extracts from your learning journal\/diary, research articles, surveys, appraisal interviews, company reports, etc.
5.1.2.2 Support opinions with specific examples\/evidence (e.g.
An experience, journal article, book, video), or by building a logical argument based on previously cited examples\/evidence
5.1.3 Make a clear distinction between objective facts and personal (subjective)opinions.<\/p>\n
5.2 Ideally, this section should be divided into numbered paragraphs that, like this briefing sheet, show which section the paragraph belongs to.
5.3 Headings for each sub \u2013 section, underlined or in bold (as used here) are also a good idea.
5.4 Where necessary consider the use of diagrams, charts, etc., wherever appropriate. They should be clear and relevant. Diagrams are also useful for reducing the word count.<\/p>\n
6Conclusions
6.1 This is where you sum up the general conclusion\/s you have reached, such as \u201cThe very low staff morale is a result of an autocratic management style\u201d.
6.2 Conclusions (where you draw together the threads of the preceding discussion to make some overall point\/s) must not be confused with recommendations (where you say what should be done about the conclusions you have reached).
6.3 It is sometimes a good idea to present your conclusions in the form of a bullet list, like this:
\u2022Conclusion 1
\u2022Conclusion 2
\u2022Etc.
7
Implementation Plan\/Strategy
7.1 This is where you list the actions which your conclusions lead you to believe are necessary, e.g. \u201cThe team leader should attend a course in modern approaches to management\u201d(what), if necessary when, how, duration etc. can be included.
7.2 The implementation plan must be based on the analysis and conclusions.
7.3 Wherever possible you should include a clear indication of:
\u2022The priorities
\u2022The timescale\/deadlines for completion
\u2022Who is to be responsible for taking and\/or monitoring the recommended Action
\u2022To whom any action should be reported
\u2022From whom authorisation must be sought
\u2022The financial budget or source of funds
\u2022Other costs\/resource implications
\u2022Etc.<\/p>\n
8 The List of References and Bibliography
8.1 This is the list of sources referred to directly in your report. See
https:\/\/www.citethemrightonline.com\/for details of referencing\/how to reference.
If you have mentioned an author or a book (even a course book) you must give full details here of:
\u2022The author\/s or editor\/s name
\u2022The date of publication
\u2022The title
\u2022The publisher<\/p>\n
HRM3160 Managing and Leading in Organisations
22
Similarly, any material used (but not referenced) must still be acknowledged, in which case you can include their details in a separate list (Bibliography) using the same format. See
https:\/\/www.citethemrightonline.com\/for details on referencing\/how to reference.<\/p>\n
9The Appendices (if any)
9.1 This is where you place any information whose inclusion is not central to the main body of the report but which explains, amplifies or puts in context the arguments and evidence you have presented there.
9.2 Its main purpose is to allow you to include important information that, if it were included in the main body of the report, would interrupt the flow of the argument you are developing there.
9.3 Any material in an appendix does not count towards the word length for the TMA, nor will it attract any marks.
9.4 Examples of material suitable for an appendix include:
\u2022Set of complex figures or statistics
\u2022Supporting documents, e.g. Extracts from company reports<\/p>\n
