Assignment

Scholar: AMY CUDDY NON-Verbal Communication

Curate a list of your scholar’s academic research and other public works.

Create a complete bibliography that denotes all the major journal articles, books, and major presentations attributed to your scholar. All works should be properly cited using APA format. You should identify a minimum of 12 works attributed to your scholar.

Separate the bibliography by the intended audience (i.e., one section for an academic audience and one section for a practitioner audience).

• Why is this pivotal to organizational life?

• What key takeaways should all managers understand?

• How should this be implemented?

Draft a persuasive argument for following the evidence & advice created by this scholar.

• Define, summarize, and give an overview of the important concepts

• Identify common organizational problems or obstacles that could be improved by better

application of these concepts

• Specify behaviors, strategies, and changes that managers should implement now that they

have a better understanding of this concept

Create a video that persuades managers to act.

Assume that your audience is a group of top-level managers (at any real or fake organization you choose).
