As a leader, you will be required to address various situations within your organization. Select and analyze two of the scenarios provided. Using the information from Chapters 3-6 in the Barrett (2014) text, prepare an email correspondence. The correspondence will need to have an appropriate subject, greeting, and opening. It will need to address the issue, encourage, motivate, persuade, provide clarity, lay out expectations, or redirect behavior (whichever is appropriate to address issue thoroughly). Ensure it has an appropriate conclusion. Being that the scenarios lack details, use your imagination in developing the correspondences (include actions, plans, timelines, other details, etc.). Remember, you are the leader. Correct grammar, punctuation, and word use is expected. This is a professional email. Please do not upload Word documents. Include which scenarios you are presenting by using the numbers (ex. Scenarios 2 & 4). Each scenario must be between 150-200 words (total 300-400 words). In your response to your peers, you will provide a critique (more details at the bottom).
