This week’s assignment will grant you a glimpse into the realm of modern academic research within the domain of leadership. The article provided for you to read this week will grant you insight into the structure of most professional academic papers that are published in the domain of leadership and management in general. These types of articles are also where the information found in your textbook stems from. Although I do not expect you to be strongly familiar with the jargon, structure, or research methods aspects (especially the results section) included within this paper; I would like for you to try your best to complete the following: Read the article, and write a detailed essay (not to exceed 3 pages in length) discussing your opinion on the article’s conclusions. Then discuss how the textbook chapter supports or refutes these findings. Lastly, discuss any issues that you have with the methodology adopted in the research article

One of the hallmarks of any given theoretical orientation is the use of specific techniques. For example, psychoanalysis focuses heavily on the interpretation of dreams and client transference, cognitive-behavioral therapy utilizes the assigning of client homework, and Gestalt therapy introduced the “empty chair” technique. Given the plethora of theoretical orientations and their associated therapeutic techniques, how does a deve loping psychotherapist determine which technique is most appropriate to use? Ideally, one looks to the research literature to evaluate the empirical support for a given approach or technique.

To prepare for this Discussion, select one of the following techniques that you might be interested in using: silence, role-playing, empty chair, relaxation, imagery, or transference. Search the Walden Library and select two articles that provide empirically based support for the technique you selected.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 3 a brief description of the technique you selected and explain why you might be interested in using this technique. Then, describe the two articles you selected providing empirically based support for the technique. Describe any challenges you might encounter when attempting to use the technique you selected, and explain how you might address these challenges. Be specific.

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes guidelines related to minimum wage, overtime pay, record-keeping, and child labor. Some companies find themselves facing legal challenges when they inappropriately classify employees as exempt or nonexempt for the purpose of overtime payments.

You have discovered that Elora Jean & Co. has classified many of its nonproduction positions as exempt. As the human resources (HR) legal consultant contracted to review all HR policies, you are concerned with legal exposure, union challenges that may result, and poor tracking of hours worked for the purpose of paying overtime. You plan to prepare a presentation for Elora Jean & Co.’s owner, outlining your observations, concerns, and recommendations, keeping in mind the company’s desire to remain competitive while adhering to employment laws.

Components of this presentation will include the following:

• Discuss the key components of the FLSA overtime requirements, focusing specifically on considering the legal distinction between exempt and nonexempt employees.
• Generalize how FLSA will affect Elora Jean & Co.’s ability to classify employees as exempt or nonexempt in relation to the payment of overtime, and determine at what point overtime is paid with regard to hours worked. Research of federal and Indiana state laws is necessary.
• Discuss the implications of improperly paying union staff and not having a defined overtime policy as it relates to labor relations.
• Discuss the legal implications of improper classification.
• Develop a procedure that Elora Jean & Co. can use to equitably manage overtime at its facilities.
• Formulate strategies that you recommend to ensure that Elora Jean & Co. accurately classifies employees as exempt or nonexempt. Discuss the roles that job analysis and job descriptions play in the process.
• Discuss the record-keeping requirements imposed by the FLSA.
• Address legal issues of minimum wage, overtime pay, record keeping, and child labor for the Malaysian facility. Assess possible HR policy differences in the Malaysian operation and how they may affect Elora Jean & Co.’s domestic

• J. Smith & Associates have requested your firm to submit a project summary regarding opening a new division office in Scottsdale, Arizona. This new office will serve as a regional headquarters for Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico and California. The office will connect with remote satellite offices throughout the region. This division office will connect with the other division offices as well as the headquarters in Springfield, Missouri.

  The division office will house over 500 employees that address the various needs of customers and employees throughout the region. The physical office building is three stories tall and the entire enterprise is housed on all three stories occupying the entire building. The building is three years old. The building infrastructure is current and modern including the telecommunications, electrical needs and code. Your firm’s task will be to move in the necessary furniture and equipment, networking the technology, setting up and equipping the communication services.

  As part of the overhaul regarding the organizational structure, the executive suite is established in the central portion of the building on the third floor of the divisional office. The third floor will serve as support services for those in the executive suite as well as maintaining communication and connectivity with the other division offices and headquarters. Legal affairs and compliance is also on the third floor. The second floor is dedicated to the regional offices and employee support. The first floor is committed to customer service support.

  For this assignment choose one of the three following areas: Telecommunications, Technology, Furniture and equipment. You will present this portion of the project to the client. You will need to discuss what tasks are required to meet the needs of the client and the organization.

  It is the objective of this assignment for you to provide a “General Project Plan” to the client.

  The assignment should be 750 – 1000 words, APA style format. A minimum of two external sources must be used in conjunction with the course materials. Only one references may be from the internet (not Wikipedia) the other must be found through the Grantham University online library. Supporting documentation such as title page, references, diagrams, schematics, or organizational charts/flowchart are supplemental to the text portion. Only the body of the paper will count towards the page requirement. Prepare and present this assignment to your professor as you would to a client. Please see the rubric below.
