Analyze
the five steps of the Cycle of Excellence and use it as a starting point
to create your own cycle of excellence.
Discuss
how the cycle of excellence you have developed is the optimum approach for
managing human capital.
The
magazine article you are writing should be similar to an article you might
find in TD: Talent Development (magazine of the
Association for Talent Development) or in HR Magazine (magazine
for the Society for Human Resource Management, SHRM).
Utilize
at least three other reference sources to build your article. Cite sources
within your paragraphs and include them in a References list at the end of
your article. (Note: Even though practitioner magazine articles at times
do not cite sources or have a reference section, they are needed for our
academic purposes. See the Introduction
to APA 7th Edition for additional information.
Include
a cover page and a reference page. Note that the deliverable for this
assignment is not an essay paper, but rather a journal article formatted
like other published journal articles. (Hint: Most articles are written in
columnar form.)
