King (2023) explained there are four key attitudes of scientific research including critical thinking, skepticism, objectivity, and curiosity. This first assignment will focus on the last attitude of curiosity. What are you curious about related to human behavior? Have you ever wondered, “Why did they do that?” when looking at someone else’s behavior. The first step in writing is to choose a topic that interests you.

Assignment Instructions:

Writing a book on your own can be a difficult task if you are not related to this field or don’t have any experience with it.

Many of my friends got their books written with the help of ghostwriting. So, my question is where can I find ghostwriting service at an affordable price?

Create a fictional character for a movie. The character  should be in a management position. Your summary should utilize  appropriate course material (and material from your research). 

Ensure you address the following topics:

Describe the personality of your character (this is to help the reader understand the challenges your leader faces).

How did your character develop their management traits?

Identify three management traits the leader possesses, and explain why they are necessary for a successful manager.

Discuss  how you can develop each skill or trait in your own life. Training,  education, experience, etc. – but be specific (if you create goals, they  should be SMART).

What are the possible disadvantages of having these traits?

How have you seen the selected traits utilized effectively in your own experiences in life?

How  can you market the traits (for this, I would like to see resume bullets  for each of the traits)? Put yourself in your character’s shoes, as if  they were writing a resume.

How do you relate to your character? Could you be managed by him/her/it?
