Essay Title

Your introduction should be typed here. It should be at least four sentences and include a thesis statement that introduces all of the key topics you are going to present. Please note that you should follow all APA writing rules within your essay. This means avoid first and second person, do not use contractions, and use citations throughout your paper!

Major Subsystem in Need of Change

After reviewing the case study choose the Major Subsystem that you believe is in most need of change. Provide examples of why you have chosen this subsystem and ensure you cite your academic research. Keep in mind the case study is not an academic source.

Comparison with Successful Example

After conducting your research present a successful example of the subsystem that you chose. Provide examples and compare and contrast the two. Make sure you cite the source of your information.

Realignment of the Total Organization

Describe in detail how the proposed change to the major subsystem would subsequently create positive changes to two other subsystems within RSPS. Make a presentation of how these changes would realign the organization for the better. Make sure you conduct research to support your assertions and cite throughout.

Satisfy Stakeholders

Identify three stakeholder groups. Discuss how your proposed changes would increase satisfaction of each. Describe in detail and cite your research.

Human Resources

Present how the Human Resources Department within RSPS would attract, develop, and retain future employees. Describe each stage in detail and cite your sources. Show how attracting, developing, and retaining these employees would bring about the changes you have presented. Again, make sure you cite sources throughout.

Christian Worldview

This can be a separate paragraph as presented here or can be incorporated throughout your paper.

Conclusion

The conclusion is the last paragraph. It should not introduce any new information; it should simply be a summary of your introduction, with a restatement of your thesis. See below for how to format references. You must have two academic references. One can be your text, but the other must be a GCU library source. The video does not count as a research source, although you should cite it. If you follow this template and the rubric, you will do very well on your paper! (

**This paper requires a minimum of four academic sources (the case study does not count). Also, I am looking for you to pull past course concepts into this paper. This is a Benchmark assignment so it is important to include leadership theories and management principles from the past 8 weeks.**
