Instructions:
You have been asked to review the three candidate profiles and recommend the Executive Vice President position. The new Executive VP will have a lot of responsibility in managing and leading the new division.
You will evaluate each of the three candidates considering each candidate’s experience and answer the questions Tasty Products’ leadership has requested to select the best candidate to lead the new division.
You must use the following BOLDED headings for writing the project:
Introduction
Write an Introduction paragraph. The introduction paragraph is the first paragraph of the paper and will describe to the reader the intent of the paper, explaining the main points covered in the paper. This intent should be understood before reading the remainder of the paper so the reader knows why the paper is being written and what is being covered in the paper. (Use in-text citations, as appropriate, and include the references in the Reference section.)
Consider writing the introduction last to ensure that all of the main points are covered.
Management Skills
Identify and discuss the management skills that each candidate possesses. (Use in-text citations, as appropriate, and include the references in the Reference section.)
Leadership Skills
Identify and discuss the leadership skills that each candidate possesses. (Use in-text citations, as appropriate, and include the references in the Reference section.)
Leadership Style
Identify and discuss the leadership style of each candidate. (Use in-text citations, as appropriate, and include the references in the Reference section.)
Candidate Recommendation
List your candidates in priority order with # 1 as your first choice. Recommend and justify your first (1st) choice candidate. (Use in-text citations, as appropriate, and include the references in the Reference section.)
Rejected Candidates Explanation
Explain the reasons your second-choice and third-choice candidates were not selected. Be certain to use their names and their rank order. (Use in-text citations, as appropriate, and include the references in the Reference section.)

Review the Paper
Read the paper to ensure all required elements are present.
The following are specific requirements that you will follow. Use the checklist to mark that you have followed each specific requirement.
cific Project Requirements
Proofread your paper. Ensure your headings match those provided above.
Read and use the grading rubric while completing the paper to ensure all requirements are met to lead to the highest possible grade.
Third-person writing is required. Third-person means that there are no words such as “I, me, my, we, or us” (first-person writing), nor is there use of “you or your” (second-person writing). If uncertain how to write in the third person, view this link: http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/first-second-and-third-person.
Contractions are not used in business writing, so do not use them.
Paraphrase to show a greater understanding of the topics. Paraphrasing means you do not use more than four consecutive words from a source document. Put a passage from a source document into your own words and attribute the passage to the source document. Using more than four consecutive words from a source document would require direct quotation marks. Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having quotation marks. If more than four consecutive words are used from source documents, this material will not be included in the grade.
You are expected to use the research and weekly course materials to develop the analysis and support the reasoning. There should be a robust use of the course material. The material used from a source document must be cited and referenced. A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa. Changing words from a passage does not exclude the passage from having quotation marks.
Use in-text citations and provide a reference list that contains the reference associated with each in-text citation.
You may not use books in completing this problem set unless they are part of the course material. Also, do not use a dictionary, Wikipedia or Investopedia, or similar sources.
Provide the page or paragraph number in-text citation of quoted material. Since the eBook does not have page numbers, you must include the chapter title, section heading, and paragraph number.
For citations using a video, you must provide the minutes and seconds of the cited material.
Please see the attachments for better understanding.
