While you may change the names of the headings, do not change the formatting or style of font except as specified below. This template uses Times New Roman 12-point. You may also use: Calibri (11), Arial (11), Georgia (11) or Lucida Sans Unicode (10).

Certain classes may allow AI to be used for brainstorming or to kickstart research. Turnitin detects AI-generated content. Be sure to check your paper with Grammarly for Word and make corrections before submission.

This SLP will be written in 3rd person; this means words like “I”, “we”, and “you” are not appropriate. For more information see Differences Between First and Third Person .

No quotations are permitted in this paper. Since you are engaging in research, be sure to cite and reference the sources in APA format . NOTE: Failure to use research with accompanying citations to support content will result in reduced scoring “Level 2-Developing” across the grading rubric.

References

Below are some basic rules to follow when creating a reference list:

· Begin your reference list on a new page.

· The word References should be centered and bold at the top of the page.

· Double-space your reference list.

· For each author, list the last name first followed by the initials for their first and middle names.

· Arrange your reference list alphabetically by the last name of the author.

· Use a hanging indent after the first line of your citation (Word does this for you). Type your entry and then click “Paragraph” on the HOME tab to create the “hanging indent.”

APA has a handout for the most common types of references.

Motivation and Feedback Styles

Transformational leaders inspire and elevate followers, transactional leaders focus on exchanges and clear expectations, while laissez-faire leaders adopt a hands-off approach. In a crisis, motivation often hinges on urgency and adaptability. Leaders must inspire confidence, provide clear direction, and foster unity.
