Team Deliverable #1 – Job Announcement

The purpose of this project is to gain an understanding of what it means to be a leader within an organization and to use characteristics and skills required of a leader in a real- world application. Instructions: For this project, you are required to use the case scenario facts and the course material. 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 material. Using course material goes beyond defining terms and are used to explain 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 material 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 material is expected consistently supporting what is presented. 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 Jennifer Diaz, Human Resources Director at Biotech Health and Life Products (Biotech). You received an email from the Vice-President. There are two immediate openings that must be filled: Warehouse Operations in Dallas and in Miami. The email describes the specifications for a job announcement for these two positions. You 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 material from week 1 and week 2, and the Biotech Company Profile. You must use a mix of the course material 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. Step 3: Complete the Biotech Leadership Competencies Table The Biotech Leadership Competencies Table will help your group determine the leadership competencies important for leadership at Biotech that are critical for the Job Announcement. See the directions for completing that table in the attached document Biotech 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 Biotech. You are not taking an existing definition and applying it to Biotech. You must create an original definition. Identify the leadership competencies the new leaders at Biotech will possess to accomplish its vision. Identify the leadership style(s) encouraged by Biotech’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.
