Problem Analysis and Solution Implementation
This is where you will write your introduction – the first paragraph of your paper needs to
tell the reader what you will be covering in your paper.
“Tell ‘em what you’re gonna tell ‘em” (the introduction)
“Tell ‘em” (the body of the paper)
“Tell ‘em what you told ‘em” (the conclusion)
Standard paragraphs must be four to five sentences in length. Avoid starting your paper
with direct quotes or definitions from online dictionaries. Use the below level one headings
(these are taken from each bullet in the instructions) to write about the problem and solution you
propose to implement, why the solution will be effective, what to consider when implementing
the solution, analyze the leadership style that best fits the solution, the leader’s role in conflict
management (including your role as a leader, and how you would manage the conflict), and the
leader’s role in creating an effective work group when implementing the solution. Remember to
double-space throughout your paper and indent the first line of each paragraph ½” from the left
margin.
The Problem and Proposed Solution
Outline the problem from the case study you used in the Week 4 Problem Analysis
Worksheet. Select one of the solutions you proposed and outline the details of that solution.
Why the Solution is Effective
Explain why your chosen solution is effective for the organization, to include examples
of how the solution will create positive effects for the employees and organization.

What to Consider with Solution Implementation
Outline what needs to be considered when implementing your chosen solution, i.e. hiring
or terminating staff, training more employees, changing policies (all examples).
Best Leadership Style for the Situation
Review your readings and assignments that relate to leadership styles. Which style suits
this situation?
Leader’s Role in Conflict Management
Problems may involve conflict within an organization or between individuals. Think
about how a leader manages conflict as it relates to this scenario.
My Role as a Leader and Managing Conflict
What is your role as a leader and how you manage conflict? How would you manage
conflict in this scenario?
Leader’s Role in Creating an Effective Work Group
Remember that problem analysis, solving, and solution implementation often require the
creation of an effective work group. Review your content from Week 3 and outline a leader’s
role in creating an effective work group.
Conclusion
Use four to five sentences that briefly outline each section of your summary memo.
Remember – “tell ‘em what you told ‘em”. Your conclusion is the summary of everything you
wrote in your paper.
