Annotated Bibliography: Submit an Annotated Bibliography entry for Parcells, B. (Nov/Dec, 2000). The Tough Work of Turning a Team Around. 1. A weekly, three-paragraph Annotated Bibliography for assigned articles designated to highlight change management. * Writing an annotated bibliography is excellent preparation for a research project. Having to write annotations requires you to read more carefully. You begin to read more critically instead of just collecting information. They allow you to see what has been done in the literature and where your own leadership role fits in. Writing an annotated bibliography can help you gain a good perspective on what is being said about your topic. By reading and responding to a variety of sources on a topic, you'll start to see what the issues are, what people are arguing about, and you'll then be able to develop your own point of view. * Format: Each Annotated Bibliography will consist of four parts
1. Citation: Identify source using APA format
2. Summary: One paragraph summarizing the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article is about, what would you say?
3. Synthesis: One paragraph applying critical thinking skills to integrate this article with other course materials such as the textbooks, mini-lectures or other articles (Use proper APA citations where appropriate)
4. Reflection: How does this source fits into your current or future work. How does it help you shape your leadership role? Has it changed how you think about your role as leading change and transformation?
