Critical analysis of Teamwork, Leadership and Motivation theories.
prepare an essay that critiques theory (using academic literature, again!) and connects your critical analysis and arguments about the theory with your observations made during the outdoor course. Note that the essay will be much easier to write if you have made notes of your observations whilst on the course. Notes taken and independent arguments developed and written up in weeks 1-9 may also prove invaluable! Steal a march on the independent essay by starting it early…. In 2,500 words, the essay should attempt to provide your critique of the relevant literature and your thoughts and arguments about the theories and their connections. Such a position would then allow you to draw out conclusions from personal experiences and activities from the OMC and how these connect with your deep, detailed and critical understanding of the theories explored. [unique_solution]This will require you to mobilise critical analysis of literature and theories and to develop arguments that explain how your arguments regarding theory can be used to explain what you observed on the OMC. You can of course dominantly focus the essay on one particular set of theoretical ideas/arguments (say leadership or motivation) over others but all topics should command some space in the essay. Your analysis and arguments should also attempt to connect these topics. Individual identities should be disguised. Use photos, charts and diagrams as appropriate. An appendix can be used if required (not included in word count) to give a desсrіption of experiences and activities completed. UK writing style with Harvard referencing. Leadership theory – LMX theory Teamwork theory – Tuckman’s theory, Belbin’s theory Motivation theory – Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs , McClelland’s Need theory, Pink’s theory This essay also needs to have a personal opinion on the theories after critically analysing them. The analysis can be related to a construction project as the essay is based on the use of these theories in construction, how are they related?
