This document outlines a management plan for leading a team. It provides instructions and templates for the plan, which includes three parts: 1) Analyzing how the team's characteristics will impact dynamics, behavior, and performance. 2) Evaluating leadership theories and selecting one to support cohesion and performance. 3) Evaluating technologies, selecting one to facilitate teamwork, and explaining how the chosen theory supports this choice. Feedback is provided throughout to guide the completion of theories, practices, and examples to justify selections. Resources are also listed to help develop the details required.

1) Theories: Evaluates the theories for how they support
leadership of the specific team = NOT YET MASTERED
Criterion Feedback
4/17/21 The objective here is to choose two theories and show
the strengths and weaknesses (gaps) of each theory when you
consider that theory against the guiding criteria. Does the
theory support it well or not? NOTE: There must be a response
for each of the guiding criteria. Do not exclude any of the
guiding criteria. Be sure to choose two (2) theories and then
show their names in place of Theory A and Theory B. This way,
we know what you are trying to compare and contrast. Second,
for each theory, look at the guiding criteria and ask yourself
what is one strength and weakness of that theory as it relates to
that guiding criteria. Ex. when looking at promoting positive
group behavior, how does your chosen theory support that
criteria? Likewise, what could be one negative (gap) concern
about this criteria if applying your chosen theory. Please
provide gaps and strengths for every guiding criteria. Only
when you have considered all the strengths and weaknesses can
you objectively choose a specific theory.
2) Theories: Selects a theory appropriate for leading the team,
justifying selection for how it supports cohesive team dynamics
and positively impacts group behavior and performance = NOT

your leadership of the specific team = NOT YET MASTERED
Criterion Feedback
4/17/21 The objective here is to choose two technologies and
show the strengths and weaknesses (gaps) of each technology
when you consider that technology against the guiding criteria.
Does the technology support it well or not? NOTE: There must
be a response for each of the guiding criteria. Do not exclude
any of the guiding criteria. Be sure to choose two (2) different
technologies and then show their names in place of Technology
X and Technology Y . This way, we know what you are trying
to compare and contrast. Second, for each technolo gy, look at
the guiding criteria and ask yourself what is one strength and
weakness of that technology as it relates to that guiding criteria.
Ex. when looking at promoting positive group behavior, how
does your chosen technology support that criteria? Likewise,
what could be one negative (gap) concern about this criteria if
applying your chosen technology. Please provide gaps and
strengths for every guiding criteria. Only when you have
considered all the strengths and weaknesses can you objectively
choose a specific technology.

as a reference list that documents all of the sources used in your
work. This list will then act as a guide and provide the
information necessary for your reviewer to locate and retrieve
any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you
cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise,
each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Remember, you cannot post a URL or website address as an in-
text citation. Please go to this link
