Assignment: BART: The Problem Solver
You will write a two page academic paper analyzing an organization that they are currently working for or have worked for in the past. You may also use a family problem to which you would like to apply the BART principles. This assignment will offer the opportunity for you to analyze using course material and write about ways to improve a situation with the clarity that applying BART can bring.
The purpose of this paper is to apply BART to a specific problem you have encountered when working in a group and to apply BART as an attempt to help keep this problem from occurring in the future. Think about a recurring or difficult problem that you have faced in an organization or in a system that you have participated in. Think about this problem deeply and without blaming others. (The problem you address may be your issues with authority, or with completion of projects on time, or issues with those who report to you, or an inability to find a mentor or a host of other issues).
Using Adaptive and Innovative leadership skills (from text) develop a three to five step plan to solve the problem using BART. You must be specific. Cite the text and APA is required for all papers.
