Create a minimum of five pages (content) leadership-focused paper. Your paper should reflect an analysis and summation of a recent article or TV news coverage featuring an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) leadership topic(s). Focus on recent events (2021 or sooner) for your paper.
As you start trying to organize your thoughts, use the following approach:
- Start with an Introduction that presents the focus or purpose of your paper. Don’t form the introduction statement until you have read all your articles or viewed the television episodes.
- Next is a Background section that summarizes the articles you choose. Summarize the key concepts of each article into a brief narrative in your own words. Make sure to use quotation marks and citations for sentences, words or phrases lifted off the pages of your articles.
- In the Analysis section, identify common threads or themes in your articles. What area(s) of leadership do these themes address – leadership style/behavior, traits, motivation, power, charisma, vision, ethics, values, effectiveness, DE&I, etc.? This is the section whereby you will employ your knowledge of leadership. Do all the articles support your thesis, as stated in the introduction? If not, state and explain the areas where there are differences.
- In a Author’s Opinion section, present your own opinion on the paper. What’s your reaction to the topic?
- Provide a Conclusion statement.
Your paper should be a minimum of five pages of content. First Person Voice is authorized for this assignment. All citations and references should be in proper APA 7 format. The paper should be a Word document (other formats will not be accepted). Feel free to use pictures, diagrams, charts, or any other visual aid.
