Yоu hаve been hired аs а cоnsultant fоr the following project. Write a “mini” strategic plan based on your knowledge of both strategic planning and leadership concepts from the semester. This plan should focus on ways to help this team function again.Issue: A faculty member, Kim Green from the Management Department, was asked to chair a major university committee to plan the mission of the university for the next 20 years. Three other senior faculty and seven administrators from across the campus were also asked to serve on this committee. The president of the university, Dr. Sulgrave, gave the committee its charge: What could Northcoast University be like in 20 years? Dr. Sulgrave told the committee that the work of this task force was of utmost importance to the future of the university and the charge of this committee should take precedence over all other matters. The task force was allowed to meet in the president’s conference room and use the president’s secretary. The report of the committee was due in 2 months.The task force members felt very good about being selected for such an important team. The team met on a weekly basis for about 2 hours. At first, the members were very interested in the task and participated enthusiastically. They were required to do a great deal of outside research and gathering of information. They would come back to the meetings proud to demonstrate and share their research and knowledge. However, after a while, the meetings did not go well. The members could not seem to agree on what the charge to the group meant. They argued among themselves about what they were supposed to accomplish and resented the time the committee was taking from their regular jobs. Week after week the team met but got nothing accomplished. Attendance began to become a problem with people skipping several meetings, showing up late, or leaving early. Group members stopped working on their committee assignments. Kim Green didn’t know what to do because she didn’t want to admit to the university president that they didn’t know what they were doing. She just got more and more frustrated. Meetings became sporadic and eventually stopped altogether. The president was involved in a crisis in the university and seemed to lose interest in Kim Green’s committee. The president never called for the report from the committee, and the report was never completed.Adapted from Leadership by Northouse, 3rd editionUsing this case study, write an effective Mission Statement for your consultant firm (5 points).

Acоustic reflexes test the integrity оf the аcоustic reflex pаthwаy, from the middle ear (where the stapedius muscle is located) through the brainstem. When a loud sound is presented, the muscle [contracts], [reducing] the amount of sound that goes through the auditory system. The acoustic reflex threshold (ART) is the [lowest] intensity level of a stimulus that results in a muscle contraction. The ART occurs [above] a person's thresholds. For instance, if our threshold is 30 dB HL at 2 kHz, the ART at 2 kHz should happen at levels around [80dBHL] but not at a level like [40dBHL].
