Project goal:
Align student career interests with course learning outcomes (CLOs) as defined in the Course Outline.
Students will choose a business manager working in an industry that interests them and conduct the research below. This will include two interviews as well as an experiential journal and a 5 page (1500 word) min. reflection paper.
Problem Definition:
What are managers looking for in a new hire and leader? What characteristics and competencies are they finding? Do they match up? How does the manager lead employees?
Studies show that new entrants into the working community lack expected leadership skills and competencies. This research is directed toward local businesses to determine what deficiencies and strengths exist in potential leaders being hired today. The managers being interviewed can also provide insights based on the way they choose to lead their employees.
Field Interview Protocol:
Students will spend time in class collaborating and developing rich surveys with which to administer and converse with the chosen manager.
Survey Questions: EXAMPLES
- What knowledge, skills, and abilities is the manager looking in a leader?
- Does age make a difference when hiring a new leader? Why?
- What are the benefits of having an education when entering this field?
- Describe the type of person you would most likely place in a leadership role.
- Is the person above hard to find? Why or why not? What is missing?
- What can be taught through training?
- In a perfect world describe a new employee whom you would assign to a leadership role.
- Additional manager comments or insights.
Students are encouraged to add questions as they surface during the interview to enhance the study. Questions and answers are typed up in transcript form. Transcripts submitted will be at least 800 words. Students are encouraged to record the meetings with permission or take notes.
I just need one transcript for now
