Book: Leadership
Author: Don Russell
I am choosing to critique this book because “Leadership” by Don Russell is a practical guide offering insights and strategies for aspiring leaders to develop essential skills and navigate challenges effectively. Through real-life examples and practical tips, Russell equips readers with the tools needed to cultivate effective communication, adaptability, and ethical leadership practices in various contexts.****
OVERVIEW
Developing as effective change agents incudes not only our continued education in effective
change strategy, but it also requires us to help lead effective change. The Self-Selected Project is
designed to address these two critical areas by either completing additional research about
change or practicing change implementation by creating a training seminar in change. Read
through the requirements of both options and consider which would be more beneficial to
complete. This project will allow you further tailor your learning in the course and help you
develop your leadership of change initiatives.
INSTRUCTIONS
The Self-Selected Project Assignment must meet the standards of the current edition of the
APA manual for in-text citations, references, headings, grammar, spelling and mechanics.
The assignment will be submitted in two parts:
1. Quiz: Self Selected Project: Topic Submission
2. Self-Selected Project: PowerPoint Assignment or Self-Selected Project: Literature
Critique Assignment

SELF-SELECTED PROJECT: LEADING CHANGE POWERPOINT ASSIGNMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
Research continues to show that change is often met with resistance. Thus, to lead change
well, we need to consider ways to help those are apprehensive to embrace the change. One
technique to help with this is to communicate change well and help others see the reason for
the change and their role in the change. By selecting the Leading Change PowerPoint, you are
building your communication skills by creating a change strategy that would seek to
accomplish several of these critical needs, from casting a vision and creating a sense of
urgency to outlining specifics of how the change will occur.
INSTRUCTIONS
The student will develop a presentation that simulates a change implementation meeting, in
which the presenter’s organization is about to undergo strategic change (Note: this
presentation must be a different change initiative than the one explored in the Change Scenario
Assignment).
The presentation will be created in PowerPoint and will present the following content in the
slides. Each numbered item below should use the bolded wording as the slide’s heading (do
not include the descriptive material that follows). You may use more than one slide for any
particular aspect, but must include, at a minimum, the following slides with their headers.
1. Introduction: Provide introductory information.
2. Issue in Need of Change: Describe the organizational issue in need of change.
3. The Change Initiative: Present a clear description of the change that is being suggested.
4. Change Rationale: Explain the rationale for the selected change strategy.
5. Anticipated Issues and Challenges: Describe the issues and challenges to be addressed
and how to overcome them.
6. Change Action Plan: Detail the action plan to be followed.
7. Conclusion: Finish with key concluding thoughts.
In addition, the PowerPoint must integrate these artifacts (additional slides):
• Organizational Hierarchy: Use a hierarchical illustration to show change
oversight and reporting.
• Communication Plan: Include a chart that marks key communication elements for the
team leading change.
• Responsibility Matrix: Include a chart that notes key activities and those responsible
and those in support.
• Timeline: Show a visual of the timeline change process.
• References: Include a reference slide, in APA format, at the end.
Each PowerPoint deck must include no fewer than 15 slides.
• The slides must have descriptive narrative in the notes section of PowerPoint to
explain the bullet points of the slide.
o Do not use bullets in the notes section- use narrative paragraphs. This should be
more than 1-2 two sentences to provide context to the slide
