Prepare and post a “self-introduction” in your role

1. Prepare and post a “self-introduction” in your role as the CEO. Use a 7-10 slide maximum narratedPPT presentation. For the role play introduction include the following plus any information your professor may request pertaining to the roundtable topic:

o Introduction: In your CEO role, "your" name and a little about your personal background (role playing as the CEO of Chipotle) including your education and major professional experiences before assuming this current position.

o Abilities, traits, and experiencesthat have enabled "you" to achieve "your" current leadership position as the CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill. In doing this, refer to relevant ideas from the readings. If you cannot find evidence to support your characterization of your CEO, you should extrapolate based on what you do discover and then rely on creative license to fill the gaps.

o A definition of leadershipthat you believe the person you are role-playing would support. Base your definition on your research about the CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill and on your understanding of the readings and lectures.

o "Your" preferred leadership style.See and refer to the styles discussed by Colquitt et al.

o A brief summary of major successes and challenges that "you" believe have contributed to your knowledge and skill as a leader.

o A brief summary of preliminary points relevant to the roundtable topic your professor has posted

1. Topic:What is your organization doing, or what should it be doing, to ensure it is prepared for success in a marketplace where the workforce increasingly demands increased flexibility in work schedules (including telecommuting) and a broader array of benefits? Discuss opportunities/threats posed to your organization with respect to these challenges, and offer recommendations.

To qualify as substantive “value-added” a posting must identify, apply, and critically examine an important and relevant idea pertaining to the topic and must effectively support a recommended position derived from this analysis. To qualify as value-added a posting must offer significant insights beyond what others have already written and should demonstrate an understanding of the industry in which your role play firm is operating.

When participating in the roundtable discussion, assume the CEO you are representing is both well-educated and an avid reader of current management literature, published in both professional and scholarly journals and is therefore able to reference and support ideas rather than relying on opinions and personal experience. (Aside: While it may be possible to find written articles or speeches on leadership by some of the CEOs, this will not be true generally and is not necessary. You are role-playing and therefore have the ability to speak for your CEO.)

First portion is a Powerpoint, second is a paper. The company is Chipotle Mexican Grill, and you are doing both topics as if YOU ARE THE CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill. You are role playing as the CEO of Chipotle Mexican Grill
