In the following assignment, you will be asked to think about your own lived experiences and find a story to tell that exemplifies your strengths and/or your values.
For this essay you will write a personal narrative that describes the moment (or moments) when you realized what drives you personally, professionally, or academically. You might describe a time when you recognized a passion you have that exceeds everyday interest.  You might recall a time when you came to an understanding or truth about life that now defines your personality. Or, you might recount when you realized you have a skill or mastery of something that others don’t posses. Show, don’t tell, your audience, and use the techniques we discussed in class to relay your story to your audience.
Please follow the “dramatic structure” or “freytag’s pyramid” template which consists of: exposition, inciting incident, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution.
Use 1st person narrrative
Length: 3-4pages
MLA format
Reflection Statement:
At the end of your essay, please reflect on the assignment and the writing process. This will be part of the same document, but it should be on a separate page with it’s own title (“Narrative Reflection”). You could discuss: what you did well, what you would like to improve on, what pre-writing strategies worked for you, how the conferences, or peer review helped, etc.  Be specific in your commentary and don’t just say something like “The conferences helped.” Explain why they helped, or why they didn’t help. This should be no longer than one page, and no less than two paragraphs.

#4. Valuing employees and partners (HRD). Leaders in organizations often confidently announce that they value their employees and partners. However, the matter of turning a potential platitude into meaningful action is a substantive challenge, which few organizations manage to meet. How may leaders translate the exhortation to value employees and partners into observable processes?

Activity 2
Case Study 3.1 Keflavik Paper Company
Keflavik Paper is an organization that has lately been facing serious problems with the results of its projects.  Specifically, the company’s project development record has been spotty: While some projects have been delivered on time, others have been late. Budgets are routinely overrun, and product performance has been inconsistent, with the results of some projects yielding good returns and others losing money.  They have hired a consultant to investigate some of the principal causes that are underlying these problems, and he believes that the primary problem is not how project are run but how they are selected in the first place.  Specifically, there is little attention paid to the need to consider strategic fit and portfolio management in selecting new projects.  This case is intended to get students thinking of alternative screening measures that could potentially be used when deciding whether or not to invest in a new project.
Questions
Keflavik Paper presents a good example of the dangers of excessive reliance on one screening technique (in this case, discounted cash flow). How might
Assume that you are responsible for maintaining Keflavik’s project portfolio. Name some key criteria that should be used in evaluating all new projects before they are added to the current portfolio.
What does this case demonstrate about the effect of poor project screening methods on a firm’s ability to manage its projects effectively?
Case Study 4.1—In Search of Effective Project Managers
This case involves Pureswing Golf, and illustrates the problems when organizations attempt to locate competent project managers without any systematic plan for identifying and training good potential candidates.  They are discovering that the “voluntary approach,” whereby new project managers are solicited seemingly at random from around the company, simply does not work.  Many of these individuals likely do not have the skills or a reasonable understanding of what it takes to manage projects effectively.
Questions
Imagine you are a human resources professional at Pureswing who has been assigned to develop a program for recruiting new project managers.  Design a job description for the position.
What qualities and personal characteristics support a higher likelihood of success as a project manager?
What qualities and personal characteristics would make it difficult to be a successful project manager?
