Think about how you would like to be treated if you were an employee being managed. Topic 3 – Research online to find 1 reliable article/source that discusses what the experts see as trends for future management and leadership skills. In a paragraph or two discuss the article and what you think about the future of management and business. Think about what management skills may be needed in the future, whether managers have these skills today, and how they would develop them for the future.

If you describe an opinion it should be grounded in citation and referenced based in your research. The purpose of the assignment is for you to critically examine issues, using research as your foundation for your ideas. Ideas built from research create credibility with the reader. It also enhances your critical thinking as well as your own enlightenment. Many times, we have an opinion that after we research the opinion, we find that there is evidence of counter intuitive concepts that lead to new ways of looking at our original idea.
