Leadership in Action Research Paper The purpose of each Leader in Action assignment is to have students reflect upon a leadership question and to take away valuable lessons that might help them in their own career growth.
The purpose of this introductory assignment is to let you see how I evaluate any formal writing assignment submitted in this course. Plan on getting lots of feedback on your content and technical work! After all, a leader must know how to communicate a message effectively and concisely!

Follow the five paragraph format, please double space your response, and submit the word document by cllicking on the title above.  See the document attached which reviews the “Five Paragraph Format and Grading Rubric for Formal Writing Assignments.”

Question for Introductory Leader in Action assignment:
There is a great deal of useful information written today about leadership and how to be successful when leading others. Why is it then that so many individuals in positions of authority seem to have trouble “finding (and keeping) good help these days”? 1
Five Paragraph Format
Good writing—as noted in the grading rubric—combines the quality of well-written ideas with technical fluency. Good writing should also be clear
and concise. The writing assignments in this course were created so that outside sources would not be necessary; it is your ideas and insights I
am interested in reading!
The following should appear at the top of each written assignment:
•
•
•
•
Name
Course
Instructor Name
Date
Get in the habit of this as you will need to use this in your papers for other courses. Also, please double space your papers as it makes it easier
for me to read.
The five paragraph format will keep your writing focused and easy to follow. Here’s how it works:
Paragraph #1: Introduction
What is the one main idea you are trying to present? It is always appropriate to begin your writing with one or two lines that outline “where you are
going”. If you want to begin the introduction with your main idea right away, that is also acceptable. What is most important about the introductory
paragraph is that you stay focused and present one idea to your reader.
Paragraph #2 Body
Paragraph #3 Body
Paragraph #4 Body
Paragraphs #2 – #4 each make one additional point that acts as support for the main idea presented in Paragraph #1. Offer relevant details and/or
evidence for that one additional point only. When you have finished providing relevant details for that one point, move onto the next supporting
paragraph, and provide details for that point only.
Paragraph #5 Conclusion
2
The conclusion of your writing provides a review of the main points made and an appropriate “wrap up” to the writing. New information or new
ideas are not included in a conclusion.
For some of the assignments in this course, you might not feel the need to include five paragraphs. You will always have Paragraph #1 and
Paragraph #5, but if you believe you have successfully made your point by providing fewer than three paragraphs of supporting information, make
a leadership decision and submit the assignment.
