For this Video Oral Presentation, you will record yourself using a webcam and microphone in a 5 to 8 minute presentation. You will not do this live before your professor; you may do it in your own home, on campus, or wherever you wish. The assignment itself is simple:

Please prepare a 5 minute oral presentation as though you were addressing the organizational managers who work for you. Assume your organizational culture is somewhat stagnant and in need of a boost of motivation, empowerment, and creativity. You are the leader. In the presentation:

• Welcome your managers by starting your presentation speaking to them (not me).
• Briefly discuss your desire to influence and re-shape your organization's culture for your employees;
• Explain why this is a necessary strategic objective; why are you doing this?
• Mention at least 4 specific steps you plan to take to re-shape your culture to be an empowering, encouragingly creative and motivating workplace. Be clear, specific, and detailed on each step. Explain when and how each step will begin and who will be involved and the specific expectations from everyone. You may have ideas such as implementing policies on something, or planning an event or activity and explaining its purpose, or intrinsic/extrinsic reward systems, increasing diversity, inclusion, and so on. Refer to our lectures and readings for ideas. However, whatever actions you choose, you must explain clearly and in detail. General statement such as "We will have a team meeting" without explaining why, who, where, when, expectations for the specific outcomes will cost significant points.
• Provide a general time frame for implementation (be realistic).
• Explain to your managers their roles in this plan. (This is up to you!) .
• Finally, conclude by explaining how you will measure your success. Give this some thought, as you may wish to mention it in your introduction.
