Note: This is an APA 7th edition formatted template for you to use for your assignment. It includes the title page, content pages as well as a reference page. You will need to delete my notes under each heading, and information on the reference page before you start your paper. You can then insert your information on the title page and begin to type your content under the headings provided. Please note that the headings are used in APA formatted papers to identify and separate content being covered. The headings in this paper are taken from the directions to help you understand what is required in the paper (Please remove this paragraph after reading as well).
Introduction
Provide a brief introduction on what you are writing about in this paper and the topics to be covered. The introduction is usually one paragraph (approximately 3 to 5 sentences).
Problem Summary
In this section you will use your Problem Analysis Worksheet submission, then state the problem you identified. Next, summarize one of the solutions you proposed to implement. Make sure to use examples on how the solution will be implemented. Provide citations to support your statements where applicable.
Analysis: Effectiveness of Solution
Provide an analysis of why you think the solution will be effective in resolving the problem. Provide citations to support your statements where applicable.
In as much detail as possible, analyze what needs to be considered when implementing the proposed solution. Be specific and use examples. Provide citations to support your statements where applicable.

Leader’s Role – Creating Effective Work Group
In as much detail as possible, explain the leader’s role in creating an effective work group when implementing the proposed solution. Be specific and utilize examples. Provide citations to support your statements where applicable.
Conclusion
A conclusion is an important part of the paper; it provides closure for the reader while reminding the reader of the contents and importance of the paper. For most course papers, it is usually one paragraph that simply and succinctly restates the main ideas and arguments, pulling everything together to help clarify the opinion of the paper. Remember that a conclusion does not introduce new ideas. It is used to clarify the intent and importance of the paper.
References
This is a reference page. It is formatted with a hanging indent and double-spacing. Your references need to be in APA format and you should use at least 2 references to support your statements for this paper.
Formatting of the reference page is different than the rest of the paper. The first line is at the left margin and subsequent lines are indented to 0.5”, like this paragraph. This can be accomplished by placing your cursor on the reference page, then on the first line after the title, then right click, choose paragraph, then choose special and use the dropdown box to choose hanging. Then start typing your references.
FYI - If you have any issues with understanding how to use citations as well as formatting of APA papers, please refer to the Center for Writing Excellence. You can also use the citation/reference generator found at: FREE APA 6 & APA 7 Citation Generator [Updated for 2021] (mybib.com).
Make sure to remove the information I have provided under each of the headings in this paper as well as the paragraphs on this page before adding your references.
Once you have deleted the information I included, you can start typing your content below the applicable headings throughout the document. Don’t forget to include two references on this page as well as the corresponding citations in the text of the document to show where you used the references to support your statements.
