Please help with the following. Thanks.

1. Review problem-solving process, and textbook's description of leadership. 2. Prepare a brief report (2-3 pages APA format) that describes a specific problem situation that is important to you that you would like to resolve. This could be a job situation that requires you to get others to think and behave more creatively and effectively or it could be a personal situation in your job or daily life that you would like to change, and for which problem solving and leadership action on your part would be helpful. Be sure to show how you are applying problem solving and leadership concepts. Note: Leadership requires other people are involved with and concerned about the need to change the present situation. . Describe a plan of action you will take to involve and motivate other people to operationalize your problem-solving attempt. How will you know you have been effective? What actual changes will indicate success? It is important to emphasize that this project involves something that you initiate or take the lead in doing rather than some aspect of a job assignment given to you. Note: This is an action plan that must be completed within the time limits of this semester, so try to pick a problem you will have a chance to solve within this time frame. Problem Solving Model Overview Have you used a problem solving model in vour professional life, in teaching, or in your personal life? There are many versions on many levels. You can find many versions of problem solving models in all types of textbooks and courses from business management to philosophy to customer relations to applied sciences. Here is one example of a typical problem solving model with a short summary of each step: 1 Define the problem and gather all the data. While deciding exactly what the problem is may seem simple enough, it often is one of the most difficult steps. Be specific and detailed. 2 Brainstorm all possible solutions. When working in a group or team, be open to any suggestion, even if it seems farfetched. Brainstorming implies we are \"thinking outside the box.\" 3. Select the best two or three possible solutions based on your intuition, gut feelings, real knowledge, or experience. 4. Identify necessary resources and consequences for each possible solution. What resources are necessary? What is the intended result? Who needs to be contacted? Whose cooperation or authority is necessary? 5 Select the one solution that seems most feasible for the problem. Support your reason for selecting this solution. 6. Develop an action plan. What other resources are necessary? What department or person will need to be involved? What are the necessary steps? What are the roadblocks that must be overcome? How much money will it cost? Will policy changes need to be made? 7. Implement the plan. Put it into action. Make it happen. This could involve physical work, paper work, or cooperation. 8. Evaluate the plan. After an appropriate time period has passed, evaluate the choice and take appropriate action. Have old habits replaced the new plan? Check back to make sure the plan is being implemented as intended. If unexpected consequences have occurred, what needs to be done? Should the plan be modified? Using a problem solving model such as this helps us to stay focused, think logically and objectively, and cover all the bases. Will you use the model to solve all of your academic, professional, and personal problems? No. However, it can help us solve many of our issues or problems, and it can be partially and informally implemented in many situations
