What is the setting for people today, and what are individuals up against at the societal level? What has been the emotional and personal cost been of this dynamic?

/in /by

Prepare a 2,000 word (not including title page or references) academic paper in APA format that presents evidence for and application strategies around creating a program in the setting of your choice to dramatically increase life satisfaction, fulfillment, and mental health in the community you serve.

Introduction

This portfolio work project will allow you to present your findings academically and showcase your ability to design and implement a strategy that will benefit individuals and, hopefully, society in general.

Scenario

You are working in a setting where individuals could benefit from a program or resource that would increase their life satisfaction, fulfillment, and mental health.

Your Role

In your role at the organization of your choice, you have been charged with understanding why society, in general, feels less fulfilled, less satisfied and why mental health concerns are at an all-time high, even though survival as never been easier for our species in general. You must develop a protocol, resource, or training that will lead to a genuine change in how individuals feel about their lives, their place in society, their purpose and leads people to their strongest mental health possible.

Remember, there are many variations of fulfillment and success, and that mental health is a subjective measure of our self-consciousness. You can choose to focus on any group or subgroup you wish, so long as the program you develop aims at accomplishing a generally higher level of life satisfaction, fulfillment, and mental health.

Requirements

Use information from the material presented in this class, the Foothill College library, any additional credible resources like journal articles, university studies, non-profit organizations, and government resources to create an analysis and program design that includes the following:

Set the stage for your project at the societal level. Explain the macro or broader perspective of what the issues are in achieving life satisfaction, fulfillment, and mental health within the community you serve. In other words, what is the background of your population as it relates to this objective? Where is your group today versus generations prior regarding these principles? What is the setting for people today, and what are individuals up against at the societal level? What has been the emotional and personal cost been of this dynamic? How might society benefit if true life satisfaction, fulfillment, and mental health were achieved within the community you serve? Is it merely that certain costs would be avoided, or would this unleash new potentials for life and society?
Bring your topic to the individual level. Explain the micro or personal perspective of your topic. How does this impact the individual? What are some ways that society can help or hurt the individual concerning your topic? How do individuals today perceive themselves with these objectives? What are the potential struggles and limitations of individuals managing this process? What are the potential benefits to the individual if this objective was achieved? What is the long-term outlook for the individual concerning should a program like this work?
Detail the science behind life satisfaction, fulfillment, and mental health. What can neuroscience and physiology tell us about this? Where are its psychological routes, and how does it impact an individual’s mind, psychology, and personality? What are some of the main physiological limiters? What does science suggest regarding achieving these goals for the individual?
Detail the proven techniques from the academic literature behind people better understanding their psychology concerning your chosen focus. Do you need to educate and inform, or would you aim to attempt change through guided activities and practice?
Find a program that has implemented these findings or other strategies to impact people’s lives, attitudes, and behaviors. What have the challenges been for this program or group? What have the unforeseen impacts been of a program like this? What further research needs to be done within these areas for your program to be maximized?
Explain the program you wish to develop, and how would it be unique to the population you hope to serve? For example, maybe there is a great program to model yours after for people in midlife, but you want to focus on children or adolescents. What things would you do to customize it to the population you serve? What hurdles are unique to your demographic, and how will you best address these concerns?
Conclusion: end your paper with a compelling conclusion paragraph
These requirements serve as a form of rubric in the sense that if you address in detail, with credible sources, these concepts, you will receive full points. If you do not, you will receive partial or no credit for that section of the paper.

Deliverable Format

This is an academic paper. It should not be written in the first person.
APA format should be utilized. Pay particular attention to:
APA formatted title page, but this is not included in the total word count. (a running head and an abstract are not required)
Headings and subheadings should be utilized starting on page two.
References should be in APA style, including undoing hyperlinks for web addresses. At least five sources should be cited. References are not included in the word count.

In this unit, we read Chapter 3 from Fit textbook and a case study Becoming an entrepreneurial leader. I will Upload both documents.

One of the Group prepare a scenario. Now as an opposite group we have to respond to some questions. You have to connect the question with FIT textbook and if needed from the case study. ( most form Book) .
Scenario: Your group is the new leadership team coming into a new startup ecommerce company that functions similarly to Alibaba, but has had its fair share of early problems.

Background: The previous leaders hired by the founder blamed all of the problems that arose on their subordinates and did not take any responsibility for their actions, they were defensive about any suggestions that might imply something was their fault, they seemed to be prideful and easily offended, and they did not care about establishing relationships with their employees beyond just telling them what to do because “they said so,” which lead to the constant micromanagement of the employees’ daily tasks. The company also seems to be stuck in a “Category 4, Dumb ideas and mandatory projects phase” as their initial platform seemed promising even with lots of risk involved financially, but they have yet to gain traction in a market already dominated by companies like Amazon, JD, and Alibaba. Not surprisingly, the founder has received many complaints and launched an investigation which has seen a swift dismissal of the leadership team involved. Luckily, these problems were discovered early enough.

Questions:

With what seems to be low morale and previous leaders with low EQ, how do you plan to come in and address/begin repairing these previous issues based on the attributes of EQ: Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Passion, Empathy, and Connections.? Note: One page

Write a 10–12 page report for executive leaders that analyzes the predictable stages of virtual team development and offers recommendations for successfully moving through these stages supported by research.

Virtual teams have become more commonly used in the workplace, as businesses seek to find ways for employees who are not located in the same geographic area to work together efficiently and economically. Some of these newly formed virtual teams achieve great success in their collaboration efforts, while others never seem to get started.

Scenario

You are a member of your company’s organizational development team. Executive leaders have asked this group to help diagnose some of the organization’s problems involving virtual team success. Each year, teams of managers are assembled from across several global business units to tackle issues identified by executive leaders. Each team is expected to work on its assignment for 12 months. Many teams in the past have been very effective; they have delivered specific, workable solutions that were responsible for important improvements to the organization. But just as many teams have become ineffective, stalled, and even disbanded with little or no results to show for their time and effort.

You have been asked to review the scholarly and professional research on virtual team dynamics, including the predictable stages of virtual team development, and to formulate recommendations for your executive leaders to use in helping the next group of teams to recognize and move successfully through these stages. Your report will be used to guide the next group of virtual teams.
