Question: Research Essay: Writing an article for Time Magazine Australia
Imagine that you work for Time Magazine Australia, and that the managing editor, Randall Lane, has asked you to write a story about the "State of the science: What organisational research about leadership has discovered in the past 5-years." Randall also gave you a couple of other important pieces of information.
First, the article must be around 1800 words in length (+/- 10%). Second, since an enormous amount of research has been published in the past 5 years, it won't be possible to summarise all of it in less than 1450 words. As a result, your will need to focus the article on one particular topic listed as below. Third, your submitted article must be extremely well written, easy to understand, visually appealing (can include graphics, call-out boxes, etc.), and formatted as if it would appear in print the next day (you may want to get a copy of the most recent edition of Timefrom the library to get a sense of how to format the article - you can access it here).
Topics (please choose ONE topic):
- Abusive Supervision
- Responsible Leadership
- Gender Diversity in the Workplace
- Managing Change in the Workplace
To help you prepare to write this article, you are required to find and summarise at least five (5) research articles on your topic that have been published within the past 5 years (2013 - 2017). Please make your article interesting. Grab the attention of the audience with a story, counterintuitive facts, or some other memorable way of introducing your topic. Make sure you provide a clear definition from the academic literature of the construct you have chosen.

- Academy of Management Journal
