High Performance Management
Assignment: Writing a Persuasive Briefing Document
In this assignment, you are the retiring CEO of a very successful business.
You plan to leave your current position within one year. As a result, you have developed a 7-10 page briefing document that will persuade the Board to hire a new CEO who is a high performance manager.
Using what you have learned in this module, your assignment is to persuade the Board to hire a high performance manager.
In other words, you must figure out and explain to the Board why it is so important for the Board to hire someone who possesses the characteristics of a high performance manager.
Be sure to use citations to the readings to support your arguments for each of the characteristics that you feel are important for the CEO as a high performance manager to possess in order to lead the company to success.
Your briefing document should contain recommendations based on the most important characteristics of a transformational or high performance manager.
Using examples from the course readings in this module, properly cited using APA style, your briefing document should integrate the most critical traits of an authentic leader to demonstrate how these are interrelated.
Your document must contain specific examples to support your recommendations.
Your briefing document should be well–organized, rigorously objective, and faithful to the evidence about high performance and transformational leaders presented in Module 3’s assigned readings.
