The board of directors asked you to pay attention to the hospitals involvement in the community they serve. You have a month to put structures together, prepare staff for the task, and implement tangible corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities with community stakeholders. In addition, you are asked to specifically prepare a readiness report on whether or not the hospital staff could meet the task.

For the board, your Readiness Report will address the following topics:

1. Characteristics, skills, and behaviors of a collaborative leader
2. Different ways to build collaborative leadership skills
3. Benefits of collaborative leadership
4. Steps that guide a successful collaboration
5. Advantages, problems, and challenges of collaborative leadership
6. Factors that enhance collaborative leadership
7. Alleviation of pitfalls in collaborative leadership

Deliverable Requirements: The Readiness Report should address the points above in at least 5 pages (title and reference pages are not counted in the page requirement) and cite 5 sources in APA format.

Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:

• Title page: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.
• Length: 5 pages minimum
• Body: This begins on the page following the title page and must be double-spaced (be careful not to triple- or quadruple-space between paragraphs). The typeface should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics, except as required for APA-level headings and references. The deliverable length of the body of your paper for this assignment is 5 pages. In-body academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
• Reference page: References that align with your in-body academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hanging indent, italics, and uppercase and lowercase usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference page is not a bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in-body citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-body citation

For each analysis, please write 2-3 paragraphs discussing any aspect or theme from a given day of reading. Rather than summarize the text, you should explore a single aspect that you think is compelling or confusing, or that relates to the present-day. Be sure to include a specific quotation from

Also, you must use the Research Outline Template provided below to submit this assignment. This assignment should be submitted using the template provided. DO NOT submit it as an essay or paper, for it will not be graded, and you will receive a zero for the submission.

Assignment Instructions:

• Download the file entitled Research Outline Template with Rubric, and complete the assignment based on your selected educational research topic. The template includes the grading rubric that will be utilized to evaluate your work. Review that rubric, but REMOVE the rubric from the template prior to submitting.
• Your study has to be an experimental research design, and you are required to use a quantitative methodology. Keep this in mind while preparing and completing the Research Outline.
• Good examples of a Research Proposal Outline, as well as a final submission for the Signature Project Stage 1, are attached. These examples did not receive a perfect score. Both have particular errors or issues; however, both examples did receive high marks. ED504 is not a course where you can simply fill in the blanks. You can use the examples as a guide, but you must invest in the process to question, compare, and critique while learning the many facets of writing, researching, and reporting. The good examples posted in this shell were edited using APA 6th edition. You must follow APA 7th edition formatting.
• Here is a guide to what is new in the APA 7th edition.
• You will prepare only Chapters 1-3 in this course. You will not actually perform the research.

Here are a few writing tips. Please review these tips and refer to your APA manual for any questions regarding writing formal research papers.

1. Follow APA 7th Edition formatting. Review the correct format for when to spell out numbers and when to use the actual number.

2. Do not use contractions. Contractions are not appropriate for professional academic papers.

3. Do not use first and second-person pronouns. Academic papers are written in the third person.

4. Avoid pronouns in general. It is best to use the noun for which you are discussing.

5. Avoid personification in your writing – that is, instances in which inanimate objects are granted conditions normally reserved for an aminate (living) object. Example:

• Incorrect – Research indicates that writing is a necessary skill. – Research cannot indicate that it’s not alive.
• Correct – One can conclude from the research that writing is a necessary skill.

6. Avoid referring to “the article” or “the author” and refer to the author or authors by last name and cite them….Example: Smith (2019) found evidence that…..

7. Avoid the word done to refer to research that was or will be conducted.

8. Avoid the word prove or proven — that means absolute, and there is no absolute in research; use words like demonstrated, indicated, supported, attested, or validated.

9. Avoid casual language or slang terms.

10. Do not copy your references into your reference list. Type each one out to ensure the correct format. Do not copy from an online reference generator, as they are often incorrect.

11. Make sure you review the correct APA format for narrative and parenthetic in-text citations. Here is a good reference link: .

12. Using a quote, you must have a page or paragraph number listed in the citation. Also, the quotes cannot be more than 39 words, or you should use a block quote format.
