4-5 pages

1. Create a one page outline in which you select topics and subtopics around your recommendations to improve the employee's involvement.

2. Explain three of the most critical topics you have included in your outline, and propose a potential course of implementation. (3-4 pages)

Motivation is a complex subject, but its understanding and application is central to the success of management and the organization. Imagine that the CEO/ Director of your organization (current or past) has tasked you with recommending actions to promote employee's involvement. This is a very important task. We recommend you start by drafting an outline of you potential ideas. Thereafter, you can explain in detail your proposal to the CEO/ Director. The outline should not be a reiteration of motivation theory, but should provide succinct points that cover the key topics of motivation and provides a road map that management can implement to improve motivation within the organization.
