2.2 Assignment: Plan your Script

Carefully read the purpose of the assignment, instructions, and criteria for success below before submitting your assignment.

We are in the planning stages again for our third speech. As you plan your speech, remember to SHOW, don’t just TELL your audience about the events. Use sensory language to put your audience at that exact moment with you, thinking about the smells, feelings, tastes, and sounds that surrounded you at the time. Include relevant details to powerfully make your point. Include organizational elements in your script, including an introduction, transitions, major points, and conclusion strategies that are covered in Module 3.

For this speech, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Your introduction will need to incorporate a big idea, and the conclusion will need to reference that idea again. You may choose to tell 1-3 smaller stories to explain your big idea, and those smaller stories would be considered your major points. On the other hand, you may wish to break down events in chronological order. Regardless of your approach, avoid hidden assumptions by exploring relevant background information that may be necessary for your audience’s understanding. Focus on your storytelling details in this speech as they help to show your audience the “big idea” you are explaining.

Respond to the following response. Explain why you think some visions fail?

Response Gabrielle

Respond to the following response.  Explain why you think some visions fail?

Good morning,

Visions fail for several reasons such as being too specific, too complex, too vague, inadequate, irrelevant, blurred, unrealistic, and a rearview mirror. Visions can fail also if the leaders do not do much to implement the vision. When management talks about the vision and how great it is but does not back it up with actions that is when visions will fail. Poor planning can also lead to vision failing. Poor planning can mean several different things such as the visions being unclear, too broad, too specific, lack creativity, or cannot be measured. Visions need to be thought out and specific to the organization or the organization will have trouble implementing the vision.

Visions can also fail when they are too complex, inadequate, or irrelevant to the organization. When visions are too complex, they can be difficult to understand which will make them hard to implement. Visions must be idealistic, realistic, and tangible this would make it easy to incorporate for everyone and allows for all employee to be on the same page about the vision. If visions are inadequate, it does not fully address the problem going on. If visions are irrelevant, then the team will not implement them since they do not relate to the organization.
