Leadership and Ethics For Managers Unit 3 Discussion Board

Shanderay Aitkens

Greetings, Friends! I hope all is well with all of you. I also wish you luck on your papers. I am filled with anxiety, as to attempting to get it all together. I will finish this assignment first, then I will have more time to focus on the more difficult one to write. See, the other class is requiring students to innovate an existing product. My dimension which portrays new improvements to the basic umbrella. Technically, I have sold myself out on the idea which came to my mind regarding it. So much so, that I have applied for an inventor network's assistance. My application was accepted. I went further to apply for Shark Tank. That application was also accepted. Hey, I don't know where this will lead, but I'm writing that course's IP, which is a homemade, Comprehensive Marketing Plan. I'm into it with intentions to include an inquiry to Tesla. Therefore, this my cause for researching Elon Musk as one of my business leaders for this course's Unit 5 Assignment. 

Here is a preliminary outline depicting how I plan to organize my IP. This outline will direct attention towards 4 leaders. It will guide me throughout the structuring of the IP. It will assist in presenting these 4 leaders and their infallible leadership capabilities. Examining these particular, 4 leaders, will all have a connection to my IP for the Marketing Plan in my other class. Like Mr. Musk's attachment to Tesla and how we (him and I), with the Nifty Disc, could add another Billion dollars to his budget, and a freshly started billion dollar journey for myself. My dad always told me to dream big. Therefore, I do, but, I am enabling myself through education, with the background consisting of various degrees, to support my foot forward.

Here is my actual outline.
