7. Develop the Annotated Bibliography that you will use for the
Final Week 6 Assignment. An annotated
bibliography lists each article in APA format. It then identifies
the information in the article relevant to
your Week 6 Assignment. It summarizes that information, and it
identifies how you will use the
information. The instructions summarized below identify the
information to cover for each type of
article needed for the week 6 Assignment.
Two Leadership Articles: Find one article on each of two
contemporary leadership models, relevant to
ethical leadership from the following list of leadership models
that demonstrate what you value.
Reflect what leadership model would work in your environment:
authentic leadership, ethical
leadership, spiritual leadership, spirituality and leadership,
servant leadership, and social intelligence.
Select the articles from those published in the past five years.
For each article, first describe the leadership model in a
paragraph or two. Second, for each model
provide at least one argument as to why they reflect what you
value and why they will work in your
environment.
Two Articles on Decision-Making Frameworks: Select two
articles from the course readings, or
research you decide to do, that provide decision-making
frameworks and considerations when
making right versus right, and right versus wrong decisions.
For each article, first describe the decision-making framework
in a paragraph or two. Second, for
each model provide at least one argument as to why they reflect
what you value and why they will

8. work in your environment.
Two Articles on Morals and Values: Select two articles from the
course readings, or research you
decide to do, that identify some of the values and morals you
consider important when making right
versus right, and right versus wrong decisions. For each article,
summarize the values and morals
identified and why they are important to you.
You will cover each article in 1-2 PowerPoint slides. Be sure to
include an introductory and a
reference slide. Your presentation should be 8-14 slides.
In the library you can find an example of an annotated
bibliography by downloading the following
article:
Jonsen, A. R., Cassel, C., Lo, B., & Perkins, H. S. (1980). The
Ethics of Medicine: An Annotated
Bibliography of Recent Literature. Annals Of Internal Medicine,
92(1), 136.
You will be producing a PPT presentation that uses this
technique. Note how the example provides a
reference to an article in APA format and then describes its
main points.
