instructions:For the Session Long Project for this class, you will be applying the concepts from thebackground materials to your own experiences in the workplace. More specifically, you
will be examining the decisions and decision-making processes of the leadership of the
organization you currently work for or one that you have worked for in the past.
For this first SLP assignment, think about some major and minor decisions made by
your managers that you were involved with or impacted by. Review the background
material concepts, and think carefully about how you have personally observed some
of these concepts. Then write a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following issues:
Give some specific examples of strategic and operational decisions that you have
observed in your workplace. Give at least one example of each type of decision, and
explain why you think this decision falls into this category with references to the
background materials.

Give some specific examples of both programmed and non-programmed decisions

background materials.
