HRM 587 WEEK 6 COURSE PROJECT  Course Project The Communication Plan piece of your project is due this week. Review the Course Project tab for full information about this piece of your project. Part 4: Communicating the Change (Due Week 6) An important part of any change project is how the change is communicated to the organization, to the change agents, to the line workers, to the customers, and to the public. Along with media relations issues, communicating change (especially in a publicly-traded company) can involve multiple legal and regulatory aspects, as well as personnel and management concerns. Perhaps the single most difficult piece of handling Kotter’s “establish a sense of urgency” is that too many inexperienced or immature change agents read this to mean “panic the troops.” Never do this. This project piece will have 3 parts: 1.     The main part of your project this week will ask you to pick ONE of the company’s change plan and develop a communication plan for the company. This plan should be submitted by using an excel spreadsheet, setting out the Stakeholders, the timeline of the communication plan, the method of communication, the rationale for why you chose this method of communication, the purpose of the communication, and identifying “who” will do the communicating. The grid for this project can be found in doc-sharing, entitled “Grid for Week 6 – Communication Plan.” 2.    Pick ONE of the communication pieces which you would have used which is listed in your communication plan, and write the communication in a Word document (either the text or the script, if the communication would have been oral.) Be sure to review the Week 6 lecture and the examples of communication plans and types there for more assistance on this piece of the project. If you use any form of communication from templates you find online or in a textbook, be sure to cite your source. Your instructor will grade this based on how well it relates to the audience/stakeholder group to which it is intended. 3.     The “real world” aspect of this project is that you will write a 1-2 page analysis of one of the media pieces about one of the company’s changes written (or provided via oral media) by the company. For this section of the project, please analyze any media, news, or other communications which explained the change going on in the organization. Explain in your paper how the company handled communicating the change to its stakeholders. For more information on Communication Plan read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication

Transformational Leadership  James MacGregor Burns is known as the father of the concept of transformational leadership. Burns first produced the theory in his 1978 study Leadership. Building upon the concept first introduced by Burns, Bernard M. Bass put transformational leadership into a model in the mid-1980’s.  This model is known as the 4 I’s of leadership:  1. Idealized Influence (II) – the way a leader influences their group 2. Intellectual Stimulation (IS) – the environment a leader creates that allows followers to be creative and ideas to flow 3. Inspirational Motivation (IM) – leader motivates and inspires followers to improve performance 4. Individual Consideration (IC) – treat each team member as an individual and develop vital relationships This model is still considered the essential mapping to achieve transformational leadership. In your discussion post, please explain how you can address the four I’s in your current role. Touch on what you are currently doing and what can be improved. When responding to your peers, try to provide creative and/or new ideas to expand upon the thinking.  MY CURRENT ROLE IS HEAD VARSITY GIRLS BASKETBALL COACHES For more information on Transformational Leadership  read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformational_leadership
