Final Project (Persuasive Speech“Leaders in Times of Crisis –What would I Do as a Leader during a crisis situation”). This is the end-of-the-course individual project that will aim at showcasing your leadership skills in times of crisis.A crisis is the single most difficult challenge for anyone. No one is ever ready for the unexpected, especially when it comes in the form of a virus that takes the entire world by storm.Most of us have been confused and scared. In crisis situations, we often rely on leaders as a source of strength, hope and direction. That is why leading in crisis can be particularly challenging , as leaders have to demonstrate extraordinary forethought and competence (e.g., skills approach), compassion and care (e.g., servant leadership), a clear direction despite an unprecedented situation (e.g., transformational leadership) or an ability to look inward, reflecting on what needs to be done and inspiring others to join in(e.g., charismatic leadership).How would you lead in a situation of crisis? Which leadership style(s) would you rely on and which decisions would you make? For this final project, “take” a role of a leader (e.g., U.S. President, a company’s CEO, a state’s governor, a team manager etc.) and make a persuasive speech to your respective audience (U.S. people, employees and customers, state residents, group members etc.) to address the crisis situation. If you are currently a leader (a director, manager etc.), you can use your current role and environment as the context for this project. Your speech should not only focus on the description of the severity of the crisis and its effects on your organization/people but (most importantly) on the actions you encourage everyone to take to have the best possible outcome. Examples of crisis situations(different levels of severity):COVID-19 pandemic, winter storm and its effects on the company, cybersecurity breach, employee misconduct, discrimination, product recall, safety violations, etc.). Here are some steps that will help you prepare your speech.1.Decide on a specific leadership role you would like to take (e.g., U.S. President , a CEA, a restaurant’s owner, etc.)and your audience to whom you will address your speech as the content of your speech would vary based on your audience. 2.Start with a brief description of the crisis situation. The best approach would include a mix of factual information and current and projected consequences for your institution/people. 3.As a leader, take a position on the issue and defend your decision in light of your leadership philosophy. Prepare a persuasive speech in which you would need to a) propose 1-3waysof addressing the issue, and b) justify the choice of your solutions. In your suggestions/speech follow a specific leadership style (or a combination of them). Make sure you very well understand the selected styles and employ characteristics/strategies associated with those styles in your speech (e.g., if you rely on transformational leadership make sure you very well communicate the ways how you encourage, inspire and motivate employees to innovate and create change etc.).Adhere to the style(s) that connects best with you (who you are as a leader or who you are aspired to be) as well as with the situation. You do not need to explain why you selected a particular style(s) but you will need to make sure the style would be recognizable from your speech/proposed actions.4.Record a 5-10 minute video of your speech [videos that exceed 10 minutes will result in loss of points]. Use visual aids of your choice (power point, videos, graphics, etc.). Be as creative as you can. Use motivational techniques that will help you convince others in your 5 rightness. The main goal of your speech is to be persuasive and convince the audience that the problem you selected is critical and warrants immediate attention and your proposal is the right one to implement. The main goal of this project is to apply the leadership theories learned in class to practice effective leadership skills to be able to influence others, utilizing your social capital, expertise and ability to grasp the entirety of the complex situation.
