Six to eight page paper, double-spaced, 12 pt. font, Times New Roman font. Do not include your title and citations pages in your six to eight pages. Choose one peer-reviewed article and our textbook and include four quotes in your work, two from each source that align to support your ideas. The Assignment: Consider your own work environment and put yourself in the position of being a new supervisor. Identify a problem that you may have with a fictitious employee. State and describe the problem. Now, with research from a peer-reviewed journal article and our textbook, and the insertion of two quotes from each, address the following areas as you problem solve your plan and approaches to having this difficult conversation. The Use of Research in this Assignment: You are asked to identify and use two items of research in this assignment, our textbook and a peer-reviewed article of your choice. What you choose in the form of an article is totally up to you! It could be that you look for an article to guide you in one of the steps below such as how to ensure that the employee is participating in this difficult conversation and not just listening to you talk. Or, it could be that your research aligns to the problem you have identified such as how to ensure that employees use professional language in work email transactions. Think about what research you decide you need to provide information for you as you plan for this difficult conversation. *There are three articles within our course in the modules section. You may choose one or more of these or find your own article. Include in your paper: A description of the setting A description of the employee in terms of responsibilities A statement and description of the problem you have noted A plan for how you will address the problem to include: What you will do prior to the conversation How and where you will conduct the meeting with the employee What your goals are for the meeting Points you would address with the employee Questions you may ask the employee How you would involve the employee as a participant in this meeting How you will follow up and monitor the change needed What you would do if the problem is solved and noted by you in time What you would do if the problem is not solved and you need to take further action
