Full Title of Your Paper

The first page of your paper should begin with an Introduction to your paper. The Introduction should introduce your readers to your main topic and the topics you will be discussing in your paper. Do not write the word Introduction as the Topic Heading in an APA format paper. In APA format papers, the Introduction is always the first paragraph. The Introduction should be included in the body of your paper, not on a separate page.

Each new paragraph is indented. Use the Tab key on the left side of the keyboard to indent. The lines in your paper should be uniformly double-spaced. Do not include extra spaces between paragraphs and the APA Level 1 Topic Headings.

Use APA Level 1 Topic Headings for Each Section/Component

This paper has three separate Topic Headings:

Person’s Personal and Professional Background,

Management Style and Skills

Why This Person is (or is not) Such an Effective Manager/Leader.

Each topic should be an APA Level 1 Topic Heading. APA Level 1 Topic Headings should be in title case meaning all words are capitalized except for words such as the, and, for, etc.

Key points: (Delete this information prior to submitting your paper)

Citations are the in-text citations you provide in your written text such as parenthetical and narrative citations. References are the sources you used in your research.

In a parenthetical citation at the end of a sentence provide only the authors’ last name and year of publication. Provide an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name.

Example: (Jones & George, 2020).

When a source has three or more authors provide only the first author’s name with et al. in the citation such as (Smith et al., 2020) or According to Smith et al. (2020),

A period is not placed before a parenthetical citation. The citation becomes a part of the sentence, so a period is placed after the citation.

In a narrative citation within the text use the word ‘and’ before the author’s last name not an ampersand (&). The ampersand is only used in parenthetical citations.

Example: According to Jones and George (2020),

Direct quotes should not be italicized. When you use a direct quote, it is required to provide the page or paragraph number in the citation. Direct quotes should be short and used sparingly. The information you cite from your sources should be paraphrased in your words. It is required to cite all the information you paraphrased from your source(s).

Please refrain from providing one citation at the end of your paragraphs. Providing a blanket citation at the end of every paragraph is unacceptable and does not meet APA format citing requirements.

All information provided from sources are required to be cited from the sources in which you found the information to avoid plagiarism.
