Article Reviews
A literature review is a critical analysis of material that has already been published. The goal is to gain an understanding of a particular problem or issue and develop solutions to solving the issue. Literature reviews capture trends in the literature. As you explore leadership it is important to understand the current trends. Conducting article reviews is a means to examine the latest research in the field and to identify opportunities for advancement. Your article reviews will ultimately form the literature review section of your leadership paper.
Your article review should contain the following information and sections:
1)Definition of the problem
What is the problem or issue the article is attempting to solve? What is the direct connection to leadership?
2)Summary of previous investigations
Discuss the previous research on the issue. What impact has past research had on the problem? What is the current state of research?
3)Identification
Identify relations, contradictions, gaps, and inconsistencies in the literature. Explain any relations that are apparent in the article. What impact do these relations have on the problem? How does this article connect to previous articles that you read?
4)Recommendation
Suggest the next step or steps for solving the problem. What would you do? Why would you do it?
You should select articles that are of interest to you and support your leadership topic. Limit your article review to one to two typed pages double spaced. You can arrange your article review in various was, for example, grouping research on the basis of similarities to the leadership topic or historical development of leadership. The format you select should help support writing your paper.

Providing a short introduction stating your position and argumentSupporting your argument (intext citing shows this)When all is done, give a brief conclusiona reference at the endIn this chapter, Collins begins the process of identifying and further developing from the research those unique factors and variables that differentiated the good and great companies. One of the most significant differences, he asserts, is the quality and nature of leadership in the firm. Collins initially told the research team to downplay the role of top executives in the good-to-great process. It became obvious that there was something different that these leaders did. Collins went on to identify “Level 5 Leadership” as a common characteristic of the great companies assessed in the study. By further studying the behaviors and attitudes of so-called Level 5 leaders, Collins found that many of those classified in the this group displayed an unusual mix of intense determination and profound humility. Characteristics used to describe these leaders included words like quiet, humble, modest, gracious, and understated. Yet there was also the stoic resolve and an unwavering determination evident. They were low-key executives, rarely appearing in the media, who demonstrated a relentless drive for results. These leaders often had a long-term personal sense of investment in the company and its success, often cultivated through a career-spanning climb up the company’s ranks. The personal ego and individual financial gain were not as important as the long-term benefit of the team and the company. As such, Collins warned of the liability involved in the employing a bigger-than-life charismatic leader–personalities often brought in from outside the company or organization by a board seeking a high profile figure. The data suggested that a celebrity CEO brought in to turn around a flailing firm was usually not conducive to fostering the transition from Good to Great (Collins, 2001).Why is this important?

Step 2
Once you have identified your artifact / document, you will want to begin your analysis. In order to complete this analysis, you will depend heavily on the information from your textbook, specifically the “Measures of Excellence in Technical Documents” on page 12 in Chapter 1, where Markel and Selber give the visual with the nine measures of excellence. (Make sure you are using the Measures of Excellence in Technical Documentation infographic and NOT the Characteristics of a Technical Documentation.) Use these measures as a way to test your document and its effectiveness.
You will need to ask yourself questions such as “Who is the intended audience for this document?”; “How / where would this item be read?”; “When / where did it first appear?” and other questions that allow you to think about why the document was created and what its actual purpose is, as well, before beginning the careful analysis.

Step 3
Once you have completed your analysis of the document, write up your findings in a memo addressed to me. You will find the information for memo format on pages 248-250 of your textbook. The categories of the memo that are listed in the book might not work for this particular assignment, so it will be up to you to decide how you want to organize the information in the memo. The information on formatting and headings from Chapter 7 will likely be helpful here.
As you write the memo, be sure to focus on detail. Use examples from the document to show us what you mean, rather than just writing that the document does or does not meet the standard for excellence. This assignment is called an “Analysis,” which means that you will need to look below just surface level things like how the document appears and the basic information listed (though those things are important too). You will want to be sure to analyze the document and not get caught up in just describing it.
