Orginal assisgnment
Include the following questions in your interview. You can add additional questions of your own if you choose. You will be including the questions and responses in an appendix for the assessment.
What can leaders do to inspire teams to perform to the best of their abilities?
What challenges do you face in maximizing team performance? What actions do you take to alleviate these challenges?
What are the top 5 leadership skills for successfully building and leading teams?
How do excellent leaders develop followership?
What are some important decision-making strategies that leaders might use? Which of these strategies do you feel is most effective, and why?
What are some ethical concerns faced by leaders? How might you deal with these ethical concerns?
Remember, in qualitative research, when the data from interviews are analyzed and the findings discussed, the researcher will use some quotes from interviewees to validate the discussion. You will do this in your synthesized discussion, as described below.
Tip: You may find it helpful to locate a qualitative research dissertation in the ProQuest Dissertations and Theses database to gain additional insight into reporting findings and how researchers provide quotes from interviews.
Write a 350- to 525-word synthesis summarizing the constructs of leadership decision-making, ethics, and followership in relationship to the Scholar-Practitioner-Leader model. Your synthesis should:
Describe how leaders can inspire teams to perform to the best of their abilities.
Explain challenges faced in maximizing team performance and how these challenges can be mitigated.
Summarize the top 5 leadership skills for successfully building and leading teams.
Describe important decision-making strategies that this leader finds effective.
Outline ethical concerns faced by leaders.
Explain how excellent leaders develop followership.
Support your synthesis with information from this week’s readings and other peer-reviewed sources.
Note: The focus of this synthesis should be on team leadership, not the interview process.
Include the completed consent form and interview questions and responses in an appendix as a list or table at the end of the Sample Paper for APA 7th Edition. Include interviewee responses in your synthesis to validate the information from the reading as appropriate; demonstrate a connection between team leadership based on the readings and team leadership based on the interview questions.
Note: Do not include the interview questions as part of the total word count.
Note: A well-structured scholarly paragraph contains 3–5 sentences. Please refer to the MEAL Plan as a guide. Avoid the use of first-person language. You will be writing this synthesis from a third-person perspective.
Include APA-formatted in-text citations and references.
Format your analysis according to current APA guidelines. Refer to the Sample Paper for APA 7th Edition to ensure the assessment meets APA standards.
Note: Remember to proofread your document, including grammar, punctuation, citations, and formatting.
Incorporate feedback from previous weeks.
Submit your summative assessment as a Microsoft Word document.
FEEDBACK
Greetings Everyone,
An interview of an individual is the only occasion when we have a citation without a reference. That is because sources that appear in the reference are available for others to find, whether in libraries or government documents, or other locations. A personal interview is not available in a library for us to review, so we cite it but don’t put it in the reference page.
The best source, in my opinion, on how to cite personnel communications is APA Style. In Personnel Communications APA Style provides how to cite personnel communications in the text.
I copied two examples from APA Style below. I suggest clicking the link, it is only a one page document and will provide you with a lifetime skill.
Narrative citation: E.-M. Paradis (personal communication, August 8, 2019)
Parenthetical citation: (T. Nguyen, personal communication, February 24, 2020)

Michael,
I noticed you turned in your assignment already so I took a quick look. Please review the announcements I just posted and the assignment. I noticed some items you need to add including a citation for your interviewee, appendices for the interview responses and the informed consent form, and references which will need to be cited in the paper. You do such good high quality work I wanted to give you a chance to add to your assignment and resubmit. I assume you are very busy and overlooked a few things. This happens to all of us. Let me know if I can help or clarify anything for you. I will be announcing a new due date tomorrow.
Thanks, keep up the excellent work.
