Job Announcement: Warehouse Manager for Life Science Nutraceuticals, Inc. (LSN)

For this project, you are required to use the case scenario facts and the course materials. External sources are not permitted. You are not researching on the Internet or using resources from outside the course. You are expected to answer the requirements identified below, showing the connection between the case scenario facts and the course materials. Using course materials goes beyond defining terms and explains the 'why and how' of a situation. Avoid merely making statements but close the loop of the discussion by explaining how something happens or why something happens, which focuses on importance and impact. In closing the loop, you will demonstrate the ability to think clearly and rationally, showing an understanding of the logical connections between the ideas presented in a case scenario, the course materials, and the question(s) being asked. Using one or two in-text citations from the course material throughout the entire paper will not earn many points on an assignment. The use of a variety of course materials is expected to support what is presented consistently. The support must be relevant and applicable to the topic being discussed. Points are not earned for mentioning a term or concept but by clearly and thoroughly explaining or discussing the question at hand.
Step 2: Your Role
Your group will act as a workgroup requested to draft a job announcement by Charles Monk, Director of Talent Management, Life Science Nutraceuticals, Inc. (LSN).
Your group will create a job announcement that can be placed on Indeed.com by incorporating the memorandum details from each group member’s memo from Week 1, from the course materials from Week 1 and Week 2 and the Company Profile. You must use a mix of the course materials and not be dependent on the company profile or the memos. You are not lifting chunks of information directly from the company profile but taking key concepts and turning them into aspects of the job announcement.
The group should seek to comply with the requirements of the Indeed website. [Note: Your team is not actually submitting on Indeed.com, but the quality has to be good enough for submission. At the same time, do not copy anything from Indeed.com, as this group assignment has to be your original work.]
Step 3: Complete the LSN Leadership Competencies Table
The LSN Competencies Table will help your group determine the leadership competencies important for leadership at LSN critical for the Job Announcement. See the directions for completing that table in the attached document LSN Leadership Competencies Table.
The identified competencies are required to appear in the job announcement and explanatory document.
Step 4: Completing the Job Announcement
To complete the job announcement:
Define the term ‘leader’ that fits LSN. You are not taking an existing definition and applying it to LSN. You must create an original definition.
Identify the leadership competencies the new leaders at LSN will possess to accomplish its vision.
Identify the leadership style(s) encouraged by LSN's definition.
The job announcement must have a narrative and is not a compilation of bullets for the leadership aspect of the project. The job announcement must comply with the requirements set out by Indeed.com. Remember that this job announcement relates to leadership.
Step 5: Explanatory Document
In the same document, create a title page with the course name and number, project name, and team member names. Below the Job Announcement:
Write the explanatory document using Times New Roman, 12” font, double-spaced with headings that explains:
How and why the job announcement reflects the themes and specific readings from Week 1 and Week 2.
The reasoning for the choice of language used in the job announcement. Be specific.
Make sure the responses to these requirements provide support for the reasoning and conclusions from the course material. When using source material, in-text citations and associated references in a reference list must exist.
Step 6: Review the Project
Read the grading rubric for the project. Use the grading rubric while completing the project to ensure all requirements are met to lead to the highest possible grade.
Third-person writing is required. Third-person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first-person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second-person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: http://www(dot)quickanddirtytips(dot)com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third- person.
Contractions are not used in job announcements, so do not use them.
Paraphrase and do not use direct quotation marks. This means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document but put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document. Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.
Provide the page or paragraph number.
You may only use the course material to complete this project. If external source material is used, that material will not be included in the grading.
