I am the co-worker at my workplace that everyone wants to be involved with but nobody wants to be given my role. If a colleague wants to get something done fast, I am the one they come to- they all know that! Yet not one single person has ever been interested to do what I do due to the requirements such as personal effort and time that ensures other people have a go-to person.Luckily, I am always ready to work since I am organized and interested in making peoples lives better one day at a time. It brightens my day and brings joy to my heart when I see people happy based on what I did for them. Many things can help an organization grow and develop, and among them are dependability and trust, which I pride myself in.When am not working, I am always in my hometown helping other people. The act of interacting with other people out of work helps me build my social life by making new friends. Since I have the right interaction skills, I always find it easy to blend in with people who have different personalities. I have grown to become a people person, which is greatly influenced by my interaction with people at work.I am a strong believer in my goals and objectives in life, which makes me support others in achieving their goals. I will bend my own rules to ensure that I assist others in every possible way to support their dreams. However, I understand that sometimes I have to hold my ground if it comes down to that.

The Evolution of Management
Your research paper may be written on one of the following topics:The Evolution of Management ThinkingHistorical Trends of ManagementManaging in a Global EnvironmentInnovative Management for a Changing WorldCorporate CultureManaging The Adaptive OrganizationManagerial StrategyDecision Making and Problem Solving; a managers perspectiveManagerial Planning and GoalSettingManaging DiversityI encourage you to ask yourself the following questions as you decide on a topic. Do I find this topic interesting? Although simple, this question is essential. Your personal interest about an issue or topic can and will make a big difference when you are researching and writing your paper. Is the topic personally or professionally rewarding? Will the research project answer questions about problems at work or provide you with a vehicle for professional advancement? Projects on work-related issues often result in visibility or frameworks for discussion with fellow professionals.The paper should contain the following sections:I. The IntroductionDescribe why you chose this particular topic. Why do you think that it is an important issue in management responsibilities and practices?II. The Review of the LiteratureThe Review of the Literature involves locating, reviewing, and evaluating resources that provide both background material and information on related studies. You must include a minimum of 8-10 sources in the review with the majority of sources being journals and periodicals rather than books. You may not use websites as sources in the review; however you will be using search engines, such as EBSCO, to locate appropriate sources. Amberton has many online sources which you can locate via the library tab on Amberton Universitys website.As you review your sources, look for the major subtopics of the material and organize your literature under these various subtopics. It is important to organize your literature review in the sequence best ordered for a logical flow of the information. An article-by-article presentation, stringing them together, is much less appealing than a review organized by subtopics.All material paraphrased, summarized or directly quoted from another source must include documentation within the paragraph. Directly quoted material should also include quotation marks. Failure to properly document imposes severe grade penalty, as it is considered plagiarism. Most paragraphs in your review should contain a citation as you are reviewing what other researchers and authors are saying about your topic. When including your opinions or experiences within the review, make it clear that you are doing so. If you are unfamiliar with APA documentation, consider visiting the QEP tutorial located in your class portal or the following websites:www.apastyle.orghttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/III. ConclusionThe concluding section of your paper should include your opinions and personal experiences about the issues raised. How will you use the information for personal or professional development? What advice would you give other professionals based on both your experiences and on the literature?IV. ReferencesYour Reference List is an alphabetical listing of your sources by authors last name. If the source does not list an author, I prefer that you cite by the title of the article and then list by title of the article alphabetically in the reference list. With articles downloaded from EBSCO as well as some other sources, you will have the original citation. Use that original citation both within the paper and in the reference list. With other search engines, you will not necessarily have the original volume, issue, or pages, although you will have the date and the journal in which the article appeared. In that case, the complete web address should appear in the reference citation. When checking the sources cited within your literature review, I should be able to match them exactly to the reference section of your paper. Check this before submitting the assignment.
