CST 110 Northern Virginia Community Self Disclosure & the Johari Window Paper

/in /by

In one hundred words or less, define the theories of Lloyd Bitzer (rhetorical exigence) and Sidney Jourard (self-disclosure) and explain a situation where a rhetorical exigence required that YOU self-disclose to a significant other. Make certain that you abide by both theories in explaining the situation and the outcome. In your answer, clearly identify the rhetorical exigence and the self-disclosure. Additionally, use Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham’s Johari Window to define the communication profile for the situation you described, the relationship you identified, and the person with whom you self-disclosed. Using percentages (no windowpane can have a zero in it) to show windowpane size, create before and after Johari Windows to show changes in the relationship based on the interaction outcome.

Training and development prompts change within an organization. The goal of training is to identify areas for improvement and to develop growth opportunities that support the employees in their professional career.

For this assignment, you are required to develop a small training exercise in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. Review previous needs assessments and training observations conducted at your workplace to help identify one area for improvement that would benefit your organization. This training exercise does not need to be implemented but should include at least one deliverable that you could use during the training exercise. As you are reviewing your organization, consider employee engagement, systems and procedures, communication, resources, succession planning, and the culture within the organization. These are suggestions for possible areas that could benefit from a training exercise.

Create an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation of your training exercise, with speaker notes, and include the following:

  • What are the overall goals for the training or the benefit to the selected organization?
  • What are two specific objectives for the training exercise?
  • What processes or procedures will change after the training has been completed?
  • Describe the strategies or actions involved in the training exercise to meet the established goals and objectives. What is the expected employee performance or application after the training? How will the strategies drive successful business results and improve employee performance?
  • How will the organization provide support to the current employees receiving this training? To new employees? How will the effectiveness of the training exercise be measured to confirm the anticipated improvement of employee performance?

This week, you will be listening to music by Black Pop artist, Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson is a direct link between the Motown Music we listened to previously, and 1980s pop music. He came from a musical background, and the vocal group he was in, The Jackson 5, were considered Motown’s last great act.

We will also shift gears some, and listen to some of the neotraditional trends of the 80s and 90s, such as the renewal of Rock and Roll, the Blues Revival and socially aware female singer-songwriters.

Please be sure to read through the entire assignment, as there will be several parts to it again.

In addition to your etextbook, you should expect to complete some research online to respond to these questions. Be sure to use vetted resources—if you aren’t sure what a reliable source is, remember, you can use the CRAP test to determine if your source is reliable!

Module 2 – SLPSWOT ANALYSIS

For purposes of the Module 2 SLP, you will continue as an expert in the field of Strategic Management. In this assignment, you will blog about some aspect of the external environment of an organization, providing examples based on current events you have found in a recent article in a trade journal, newspaper, or magazine (e.g., the Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Business Week, or Forbes).

Hint: Visit either ProQuest or EBSCO-Business Source Complete in the library. Choose an industry that is of interest to you and find a recent article related to how one or more of Porter’s Five Forces or PESTLE have impacted your chosen industry. You may want to type in a specific force as a keyword (e.g., Social, Economic, Legal, Threat of Entry, Competitive Rivalry, Suppliers, Buyers, etc.). Be sure to click on “Trade Publications,” “Newspapers,” and/or “Magazines.” You may also select a specific company and discuss how a force (or forces) in the remote or industry environment have (for better or worse) affected that company.

For example, you might find a recent article related to how the fiercely competitive nature (one of Porter’s Five Forces) within the soda industry has affected the market share of such major retail company players as Amazon or Walmart. Or you might find an article that evaluates how a new law or regulation (in the remote environment) has impacted the healthcare industry.

Remember that you are playing the role of a Strategic Management blogger who is conveying to the public how environmental forces (whether remote environment or industry environment forces) are affecting a particular industry.

Your main article(s) for your blog entry must be no older than 12 months. You may, of course, use older sources to support your discussion and analysis; however, the current event article serving as the main focus of your paper must be no more than 12 months old.

SLP Assignment Expectations

  • The minimum length requirement for this SLP Assignment is 3 full pages (excluding Title and Reference pages), to include 2 scholarly sources.
  • Provide an APA-formatted title page. Use the APA 7 Template.
  • The 3 full pages will include an introduction, body of work with 2 scholarly sources cited to support your work, and a conclusion (that aligns with your purpose statement, summarizes each section, and then wraps up into a final thought).
  • Provide an APA7-formatted References Page (See APA 7 “References” section at https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/ ).
  • Upload your paper to the SLP Dropbox before the assignment due date.
