Step 1: Aggregate and analyze the articles annotated in your week 3 assignment to explain how workplace culture influences management and/or leadership. This section should comprise 2-3 paragraphs using multiple course readings and research to support how different elements of organizational culture influence the workplace and/or management or leadership practices. Your paper should start with an introduction that defines organizational culture.

Step 2: Conclude the paper with 2-3 paragraphs connecting the analysis in step 1 to your own professional experience. Questions to consider as you develop your conclusion: In what way might organizational culture impact your effectiveness as a manager or leader? Which key findings resonate with your experiences and why? What actions could you or your leaders take to create a more positive work environment?

INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE THE SUBMISSION:

Students are expected to use a variety as well as multiple course readings and research to support ideas, reasoning, and conclusions.

Your final submission must include a Title Page, Introduction, Conclusion, In-Text Citations, and matching References in the Reference List. Here is guidance from the online writing center for format. Consider using the Online Guide to Writing and Research or the Tutoring assistance - link above under Academic Support

Paraphrase and do not use direct quotation marks. Check the UMGC Writing Center's Guide to Paraphrasing. This means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document, put a passage from a source document into your own words, and attribute the passage to the source document. Provide the page or paragraph number. Note that a reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa.

The analysis should end with a conclusion/summary paragraph that clearly and succinctly explains what you covered in the body of the paper.

Third-person writing is required ONLY for Step 1. 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).
