PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAM PROPOSAL
Due Week 6, worth 175 points
As an MBA and leader, you must be able to present your management plans 
and leadership strategies to inform stakeholders and gain buy-in. For this 
assignment, you’ll practice this by developing a proposal for a professional 
development training program. The program centers on motivational strategies 
and how an emotional intelligence management approach would benefit 
department managers.
PREPARATION
Continue with the same organization you selected in Assignment 1. Imagine 
that the CEO has charged you, the task force leader, with researching emotional 
intelligence (EI) in order to propose a professional development program.
Your proposal should detail how a new incentive program, based on an EI man-
agement approach, will foster teamwork, strengthen interpersonal relationships, 
enhance communication, and increase overall performance. You need to help 
the CEO gain approval for this initiative. Your program’s proposal must include 
supporting research concerning how motivational strategies enhance job satis-
faction and team output.
ASSIGNMENT 2
Prepare for this assignment by identifying the resources you’ll use to create 
your proposal. You will need to provide at least two quality resources such as 
the course textbook, company website, business websites (CNBC, Bloomberg, 
etc.), resources from the Strayer Library, and/or outside sources.
Note:
Wikipedia and web-based blogs do not qualify as credible resources.
INSTRUCTIONS
Create a proposal (five to seven pages recommended) that includes the
following components:
           1.
EI and Motivation 
   Which of the EI building blocks would impact management’s ability to  
   enhance employee performance and job satisfaction? Based on your  
   research on motivational theory, describe how your task force would  
   utilize positive or negative reinforcement to influence the members of  
   the organization and resolve the issue. Provide examples to
   support your solution. 
           2.
EI and Social Skills and Decision Making
   Explain how the core concepts of emotional intelligence would       
   enhance the social skills and the decision-making efficacy
   of the management team. 
           3.
Effective Teams
   Describe the core attributes of an effective team and the strategies  
   you would implement to develop team dynamics that will benefit
   the organization.
           4.
Reward Systems
    Create an effective reward system for this organization. Determine the  
    strategies you would incorporate to motivate your employees
    and influence behavior. 
           5.
Executive Summary
    Prepare a one-page executive summary that you will present to the  
    CEO in an upcoming executive meeting. 
Note: 
An executive summary  
    is a condensed version of your full report. It should summarize briefly  
    all the main points in concise paragraphs. It should be written clearly  
    and should use language appropriate for the audience.
