You have been designated to recruit and manage a high-performance team. There are five team members in all. Each of which are a highly skilled expert in their field. However, the team has one common goal and that is to expand your companys influence in a highly competitive real estate market.

To your advantage, you have over 15 years experience leading and managing teams. To your disadvantage each of your team members know far more about the industry that you do and they know it. Further, there is a particular team member who has a habit of dominating other members on the team. Her name is Samantha. She is the best of the best. And she knows it.

In what ways would you keep control of the team, yet provide enough autonomy to the team members to make strategic decisions? Keep in mind that the responsibility of the success or failure of the team lands directly on you. How will you build a climate of trust? How will you provide performance evaluation? How might you institute a reward system? How might you put in place an overall team structure? Fully explain.

Assume you are the project manager for a software company and your team is in charge of delivering an update to tax preparation software for the next tax season. The project team has ten software developers working together, but located across the country. You have the following information about the project, and need to provide a status to the sponsors.

New items you learned this month about the project:
There is a three day weekend in the coming month.
Nine of the developers are on track to finish their tasks two weeks early.
One software developer took the recently announced early retirement package, and is leaving in one week. He is confident he will be able to finish his piece of the work before he leaves.
It is hurricane season in Florida, where three of the developers are located.
The developer who is retiring is the only person who knows how to get approval for the final product from the IRS.
The project costs are under budget and there has been no need for overtime.

Write a one page status report (excluding the title page) to the sponsors providing a clear indication of status of the project (suggestion: use green, yellow, or red for status). Students are welcome to copy the boxes below into their assignment.

Green

Yellow

Red

The sponsors also like to only know the two most important risks, and what could be done to mitigate the risk if it happens. The conclusion of the status report should include a paragraph that describes any requests for additional resources, if they are necessary.

The best status reports use bullets, memos or templates since they provide an at a glance status. If you use a template or memo you can create your own or find one from a respected source that meets the above objectives. If you use a template/memo from another source, you must cite the source in a reference page. In addition, you do not need to use any scholarly sources; however, if a reference is used it must be cited and included on a separate references page. Your paper must be formatted according to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Unit 3 Assignment: Self-concept and Perception Essay
We develop notions of who we are and are not in our interactions with others from the time we are born until the time we die. Dr. George Herbert Meade explains that there are two specific types of perspectives which shape our notion of who and what we are, which includes the perspective of the particular other and generalized others (Wood, 2016). Self-concept will also shape communication choices and the perceptions related to how we think and feel about the world. As ethical communicators it becomes important to monitor the influence of our own self-concept and perceptions on our communication choices.
For the Unit 3 Assignment, you will craft a 34 page expository essay (including a title page and reference page) highlighting how your self-concept and perceptions influence your interpersonal communication. Include the following in your essay:

Describe your self-concept and whether it is generally positive or negative.
Explain how you can ethically influence the self-concept of others.

Describe an example of when your self-concept influenced your perceptions of someone. Explain how this impacted your communication with that person. Explain whether this was a positive influence or negative influence and why.
Explain at least two guidelines for improving perception and communication from the reading that you can apply to your ethical communication skills. Include what are the guidelines, one example of how you would apply a guideline, and why these guidelines help with effective communication.
Your paper should include a reference to the textbook. APA formatting and in-text citations must be used for a minimum of three sources including your text. When referencing the readings, be sure to use APA guidelines. Information regarding APA formatting and citation can be found in the Writing Center and should be reviewed thoroughly.
