Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Anand’s textbook Chapter 18: Final Thoughts. In addition, it is recommended to watch Kate Aitken’s video on, The Power of Social IntrapreneurshipLinks to an external site.. Additionally, download the League of Intrapreneurs ToolkitLinks to an external site. and read through the entire toolkit.
In the League of Intrapreneurs’ toolkit, there are five missions highlighted. Pick one section that stood out to you personally and share what you gained from that section and how you feel it helps you as an intrapreneur.
In addition, share the top three things you gained from the Greenhouse Approach textbook.

 
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Anand’s textbook Chapters 4, 5, 8, and 14. In addition, read “Can you innovate within large organizations? Joshua Mitro LavraLinks to an external site.” by Shahbaz Khan. It is also recommended to watch the video with Joshua Mitro Lavra, “Can you innovate within large organizations?Links to an external site.”
Anand’s textbook addresses four phases: problem identification, ideation, execution, and reflection. In the article by Khan, he addresses the why, what, and how as it relates to intrapreneurship. Both of these models overlap with one another in various ways.
For this discussion, you are asked to first select a company. This could be your current organization, a previous company you were associated with, or perhaps a company that you wish to be a part of. Take the position that you are intrapreneurial within this company and address the “why, who, what, and how” based on the elements presented in Khan’s article. The following are some guidance tips to help you with this discussion.
Why – Focus on innovation and growth. What is important to you about this company?
Who – Focus on cultural contributions. Think about what you could contribute in terms of innovation. Do you have creative ideas? Do you have a team you work with that is all creative? Would there be value in working with other departments to create innovation and growth?
What – Focus on revolutionary and evolutionary ideas. What creative ideas do you have that would create revolutionary change for the company you selected? Think outside the box on this one. Share new ideas, not ones the company is already working on.
How – Focus on the “lean startup model” of build, measure, and learn. Based on your response to “what” how will you build this idea? How will you measure it? How will you learn from it?

 
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, complete Levels 3 and 4 of the EI Games Presentation Skills course and watch the following videos: How to Make a Good Powerpoint Presentation (Tips)Links to an external site., Dealing with ObjectionsLinks to an external site., and How to Do a Good Presentation – 5 Steps to a Killer OpenerLinks to an external site..

Level 4: Closing to Win focuses on delivering the presentation. Critical areas associated with delivering the presentation include the following:
managing the presentation flow,
delivering a compelling close,
coping with objections,
taking appropriate post-presentation actions, and

After completing Levels 3 and 4 activities, reflect on the situation presented in which a member of the presentation team had an emergency on the day of the presentation. The emergency was such that the team member was unable to deliver their part of the presentation. The solution proposed in the EI Games advised the team to explain the situation to the potential client and ask for a rescheduled presentation date.

Ethics in Leadership
This course has major project assignments that will be due in Weeks 3 and 5. It will take more than a week’s effort to adequately complete them. Plan time to start the research and other work for those assignments earlier than the week in which they are due.     
For the course project, you will assess the ethical nature of leadership by studying a current or historical leader. Choose a famous leader with readily available information (e.g., press releases, organizational websites, published biographies, etc.) that you can research. Consult with your instructor early in the week if you need assistance. You will be using the same leader for the Week 1, Week 3, and Week 5 assignments.
For the Week 1 paper, prepare a biographical introduction of your chosen leader that summarizes:
who the leader is,
what era the leader came from,
what organization the leader is or was affiliated with,
why this leader is worthy of study,
the specific leadership theory/style this leader used, citing specific examples and research to support your assessment.
Next, analyze this leader in terms of moral intelligence and credibility as a leader, citing evidence to support your perspectives. Specifically, this section should assess any gaps between espoused values and actual behaviors.
Next, analyze the alignment of the leader’s values and behaviors with the organizational values expressed in vision, mission, and value statements of the organization most closely affiliated with the leader, as well as any other indicators of organizational culture.
Finally, synthesize a personal reflection of “lessons learned” that includes at least two key take aways that you can apply to your own leadership practice.
Submission Details:
Submit your answers in a three- to four-page Microsoft Word document.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum read Part 2: The Model in your course textbook. Pay attention to the material offered about the adaptation theory of business. Three actions deemed necessary to develop a proactive rather than reactive stance regarding the change is offered.

The following are some items you might want to consider:
How difficult might it be to obtain the information that will define the organization’s current status? 
How much training, knowledge, and experience is needed to adequately understand the products and services offered, and how are customers and competitors reacting to products and services offered?
How much knowledge is required to imagine how the desired change impacts all parts of the organization? 
What is missing from the model, if anything? 
Offer a link to a video or an article that provides additional information about developing a proactive stance to pursuing beneficial change.
