M.A. in Leadership Studies: Capstone Project Papers

The Masters in Leadership Studies Capstone Project Papers were designed to provide Master’s students with an opportunity to demonstrate the integration and application of their learning throughout their program through an applied or research-based project.

Applied projects offer a design, program or process to address a challenge, issue or topic. Applied projects require students to apply the conceptual and practical knowledge they have gained in the program to address a “real-life” problem or issue, without requiring an extensive literature review or research methodology development.

Research projects focus on developing a more in depth understanding of an issue, interest, concern, or phenomenon. The research includes a miniature literature review on the topic and provides explanations of the implications and applications for future practice in the related field.

Project papers were deposited in Digital USD from 2017 to 2019.

5 Organizational Leadership Capstone Project Ideas

  • By Jamie B.
  • Published June 13, 2019
  • Last Updated December 11, 2022
  • Equality and Leadership
  • Leadership Development in Children and Adolescents
  • Intergenerational Leadership
  • Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Leadership
  • Conflict Resolution from a Leadership Perspective

You have completed the bulk of your organizational leadership degree program. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel, that dream career that you have been working so hard towards. The last big challenge you need to conquer is the capstone project. The most difficult part for many is deciding on the topic of this project. Here are five enticing ideas for an organizational leadership capstone project.

1. Equality and Leadership

Some of the best leaders in society and business have been women of racial minorities. They started in a disadvantaged socioeconomic status. They identify with a minority sexual or gender orientation, and  believe in marginalized faiths. Yet, they still fight a more difficult battle for their earned leadership status. The source and solution for this inequality is a hot topic in organizational leadership right now, and therefore an excellent choice as a capstone project.

2. Leadership Development in Children and Adolescents

That is right, organizational leadership starts early. Children and adolescents who are given guidance on the appropriate ways to enact and comply with leadership are believed to perform better academically and socially. This carries into successful adult careers and personal relationships. Forbes offers an insightful perspective on guiding children and youth towards building a brighter future for themselves and future generations.

3. Intergenerational Leadership

On the other side of the coin is the notion of learning from our elders and allowing them to remain in positions of leadership. In this society so focused on the value of youth, older generations often become ostracized and patronized. They might not be as well-versed in the modern languages of technology and colloquialism. But that does not mean they have nothing to contribute to modern society. There is a powerful, and necessary,  form of leadership which can only come with the wisdom gained through lived experience.

4. Emotional Intelligence and Organizational Leadership

One of the key components of successful leadership is a high level of emotional intelligence. This refers to the ability to appropriately express one’s own emotions and respond to those of others. There is a great deal of research about emotional intelligence and organizational leadership. However, more research is needed to fully understand their relationship to each other. This relationship, therefore, holds a great deal of potential for a capstone project.

5. Conflict Resolution from a Leadership Perspective

It is both difficult and easy to imagine a world free of conflict. Difficult in that we are surrounded by  myriad conflicts every day. Easy in those moments of peace, therefore, shine brightly in between. What is not easy is answering the question of how to resolve and reduce conflicts in our various organizational systems. One thing we know is that it begins with strong leadership by those with good intentions. Parsing out the roles of leaders in conflict resolution, and what is currently missing from those roles, would make a valuable capstone project.

Organizational leadership is a highly relevant field of study right now, as most of our society’s systems are hierarchical. Good leadership is therefore essential for the success and health of all individuals and systems. Organizational leadership capstone project topics such as these five will help students contribute meaningfully to the field. In addition they’ll fulfill one of the final requirements for graduation.

About the BOL Program

Disclaimer: Now formally known as the MS in Business and Organizational Leadership

Novelist Leo Tolstoy said: “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” As Tolstoy wisely observed, change must begin from within. Personal transformation is the focus of the Master of Science in Business and Organizational Leadership program . The goal of the program is in keeping with Greek philosopher Plutarch, who said: “The purpose of education is not to filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire” – a fire that ignites an unquenchable thirst for lifelong learning. And the light from that fire, is meant to be shared with others. Throughout the program, students connect coursework with personal development and professional practice, and are encouraged to choose research topics that benefit their companies, their communities, or the environment. This is consonant with the principles of Neumann’s Franciscan Tradition of social and ethical responsibility, stewardship, and servant leadership, which are embedded in the OSL program.

Student Scholarship: Capstone Research Projects

The Business and Organizational Leadership Capstone Research Project is a culminating experience designed to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of the field of Business and Organizational Leadership. The Capstone Service Research Project (CSRP) is an action-based creative expression of leadership that includes a “deliverable” – or, “end product,” purpose, or intended use of the research data – to a sponsoring organization; or a realistic service template that represents a scholarly contribution to the leadership field of study. It may also involve: the creation of a business model or plan; a strategic plan or analysis; a clear set of recommendations; a social, educational, or public service; a financial scholarship program; or a public awareness campaign regarding a timely and compelling issue. But whatever the topic, it must have socially redeeming value in keeping with the Franciscan Principles and Tradition.

Enhancing Inclusive Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Planning Through Community Inclusion: A Program Plan for the Delaware County Department of Emergency Services

Overcoming barriers to Disaster Preparedness and Recovery information and services is a core component for enhancing community resiliency. Traditional metrics for determining potential barriers to Disaster Preparedness and Recovery information and services, called Access and Functional Needs, within the fields of Emergency Management, Public Health, and Human Services have not been universally used in a coordinated manner at a national level and do not yet include lessons learned during the COVID-19 Pandemic response. Updating these metrics to develop a new system inclusive of themes from each independent field and the pandemic response will enhance capacity for Inclusive Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Planning (IDPRP) to better determine needs within communities targeted for planning and services. Incorporating members of the community will expand capability both to determine, and overcome barriers identified. Two proven methods for the incorporation of community leaders and do this work are Functional Assessment Service Teams and Community Ambassador Programs.

The Use of Stay Interviews to Curtail the Emergency Medical Services Staffing Crisis

Fred W. Wurster III

View Paper

This Capstone will highlight the current staffing crisis that is impacting Emergency Medical Service (EMS) organizations across the United States. According to the Ambulance Association of America (AAA) and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), EMS organizations are facing some of the most challenging times as it relates to recruitment and more importantly, retention. Retention of personnel in an EMS organization is the critical structure that allows for ambulances to respond to and arrive at emergency situations in a timely fashion. Imagine calling 911 for a medical emergency and an ambulance takes hours to arrive or even worse an ambulance not showing up all. Unfortunately, one or both instances are occurring in areas across the United States today. Some areas such as North Carolina, are plagued with such shortages that they have requested ambulances from the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) to simply staff ambulances for 911 calls (Donnelly-DeRoven, 2022).

Advancing Diversionary Programs to Maintain Low Level Juvenile Recidivism Rates

This Capstone Research Project was intended to enhance current juvenile diversionary programs to reduce juvenile crime and recidivism rates. After conducting research this Capstone Research Project focused on the need for advancing referrals to juvenile diversionary programs and minimizing out of home placements for juvenile delinquents. The research first examined the average number of times a juvenile delinquent has been arrested and the number of pre-determined risk factors the delinquent has been exposed to. The researcher then examined pre-determined risk factors that predominantly affect at risk youth.

Community Paramedicine and Mobile Integrated Health: An Innovative Approach to Medicine to Provide Care for Patients With Social Determinants of Health

Elizabeth C. McCall

View Paper

Community Paramedics provide healthcare for patients who suffer from various social determinants of health. According to Dr. Gina Agarwal, an associate professor in the Department of Family Medicine at McMaster University, the patients typically include homeless persons, people living in poverty, those suffering from addiction and mental health disorders, patients seen as frequent users of both Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and the emergency room (E.R.), and chronically ill persons who are considered high-risk for readmission to the hospital.

Keeping Low Income Families in Their Homes: by removing the burden of costly home repairs

For citizens living only just above the national poverty line, a simple home repair may become a large problem, especially when other stressors have occurred in their lives that may require an unforeseen financial burden. According to the Population Reference Bureau (2022), “The Census Bureau reported that 37.2 million people, or 11.4% of the U.S. population, were living in poverty in 2020, based on official poverty threshold.” In an article written by Susannah Snider and Emma Kerr for U. S. News publication, they refer to a study conducted in 2018 by the Pew Research Center located in Washington D.C., Pew defined the economic breakdown as follows; for a family of 3 an annual income of less than $40,100 was considered low income, $41,000 - $120,400 was considered middle and more than $120,400 was considered upper income varying by region and state. (Snider & Kerr, 2020) The researchers’ findings suggested that many people describe themselves as middle class, however, many of them may fall outside of this definition.

Next Step Leadership Initiative: A Plan for Urban Youth

Connor Quealy

View Paper

This Capstone will highlight several key issues impacting the lives of youth in lowincome/urban areas, such as the impacts of violence on youth and the current state of education and where it is failing, as well as poverty. Constant violence against or around youth leads to personal issues to trouble in school. Education has often been a way out of poverty for those less fortunate. Still, with recent budget cuts in schools across the United States, the cycle of poverty is continuing in these communities. Throughout the Capstone, the two cities to be examined will be Philadelphia, PA, and Camden, NJ, because both cities have been experiencing significant issues in the discussed areas. The year 2020 marked one of the deadliest years in Philadelphia. Camden also experiences, on average, a significantly higher number of murders for the size of the city. The Capstone will also examine two youth development programs in Camden and how they help lead youth to brighter and successful futures.

Improving Leadership and Communication within Government Organizations: A Qualitative Pilot Study

Effective, efficient, clear, and concise communication throughout any organizational leadership hierarchy is a quintessential component to sustainable long-term success. The purpose of this qualitative study, which consisted of a sample size of five total participants, was to discover where communicative deficiencies exist, what impact these deficiencies have on the dissemination of pertinent workplace knowledge and information, which leadership style(s) contribute to the deterioration, or improvement of, communicative solidarity, and to develop a communicative needs assessment and set of ethical communicative guidelines.

A Program Model to Recruit and Retain More Black Teachers into the Educator Pipeline to Accelerate Achievement for Black Students in Pennsylvania

Shayna Terrell

View Paper

Substantial research has been conducted to measure the disproportionate rates of achievement gaps between Black and White students. Studies performed to investigate the existing gaps have measured Black teachers' impact on Black students and the impact the lack of teacher diversity has on student achievement. There is limited research that combines all three variables to make a case for building a focused strategy specifically for recruiting Black teachers into the profession. This analysis intends to highlight the benefits of having a Black teacher for Black students and address the lack of diversity in the teacher workforce, specifically in Pennsylvania. The researcher will use data collected and analyzed as evidence for the need to develop a focused strategy for recruiting more Black teachers into the teacher pipeline.

DISCOVERING THE TRUTH BEHIND THE NUMBERS

The research conducted in this Capstone is focused on Black American students and their college graduation rates to examine how tertiary institutions might better support and retain students of color. In 2018, 16,616,400 students enrolled in a 4-year degree granting institution 2,012,854 of those students graduated within 4 years and only 195,656 were Black students. The researcher analyzed other factors that could influence Black student graduation rates in the U.S. Those factors include but are not limited to the following: lack of sufficient financial assistance, a deficiency of Black diversity and cultural competency among instructors, administrators, and academic advisors, student under-achievement specifically among Black students. The researcher constructed a list of recommendations for administrators of undergraduate 4-year degree granting institutions in the U.S. to evaluate and implement to increase Black Student Graduation rates are as follows; increase Title IX funding for Black students, additional forms of financial assistance, increase academic support and increase Black instructors.

Planning for the Future: The Importance of Leadership Development and Succession Planning

James V. Cartafalsa

View Paper

Planning for the Future

Succession Planning and Leadership Development allow an organization to plan for the future. This paper will provide the steps needed to create an effective Leadership Development Plan. The researcher will identify the benefits of succession planning over outsourcing and other means of replacing leaders. Research on the importance of leadership development and succession planning is vital because, in the current climate of persistent and rapid change, insights are needed into established areas of successful organizational projections, such as longterm and short-term, financial, and staffing which is essential to the sustainable management of organizations.

Recommendations for State Representative Morgan Cephas and the Tustin Recreation Center

It is well documented throughout literature that poverty bestows a plethora of adverse effects on persons who endure it such as homelessness, food insecurity, toxic stress, and insufficient education, just to name a few. It is also well documented that poverty negatively affects the aesthetic of and infrastructures within a community in which it inhabits. Poverty, writes Psychologists Adamkovi and Martončik (2017) of the Institute of Psychology at the University of Prešov in Prešov, Slovakia, is a dangerous phenomenon because it fosters inequality by limiting opportunity.

Anthony Brogno on Reflections on Leadership Practice:

“As John Adair, an action-centered leadership thinker (2016) explained, leadership is broken down into three general functions: building and maintaining teams, motivating and developing individuals and achieving common tasks. This sums up the major components of leadership as they revolve around teams and people, and leadership is irrelevant if not for the human element. Numerous publications are available that discuss leadership and the qualities leaders should possess; however, I feel my leadership qualities are driven from within my heart and stems from the compassion I have for success and relationships.”

Richard Souders on Neumann University’s Business and Organizational Leadership (BOL)

“ Neumann University’s Business and Organizational Leadership (BOL) master’s degree program was very informative and educational. Throughout the OSL courses students were charged to reflect upon their own values and principles. Ethics and examples thereof were provided to clearly illustrate the conduct a professional should strive for. According to Neumann University’s website, the Franciscan tradition entails 'respect for individuals, concern for the environment and social responsibility.' These are good traits for an individual to possess regardless of their career or role. Since these traits are positive, humanitarian qualities they contain much value in any scenario. For this reason, it is effortless to relate these principles to strategic learning and a learning organization.”

Critical Challenge Project

  • Master's in Healthcare Leadership

Take the Next Step

Address real-time challenges with applied learning that draws upon your interests and experience..

The Critical Challenge Project (CCP) is central to the learning experience and will become the focus of an independent study. You will identify a challenge related to your field and interests, drawing from your own experience and vision for the future. Each student works collaboratively with their peers, professional colleagues, course faculty, and advisors, integrating various perspectives across healthcare sectors into the project.

The CCP allows you to address problems in real-time and apply the knowledge and skills learned throughout the program, with emphasis on integrating healthcare, business and policy factors, and collaborating across healthcare sectors. Projects should consider ethical implications and have practical applicability to the field of healthcare — taking into account multiple stakeholders and cross-sector perspectives as you develop innovative and viable solutions.

Key principles students use to define their CCPs include:

  • Relevant:  Meaningful to the student in terms of background, interests, current job, future aspirations, and/or organization
  • Consequential:  Project is broad enough scope to have an impact on stakeholders across the healthcare industry, including patients, providers, and payers
  • Realistic:  Feasible and viable set of steps and expectations within the 12-month program (the overarching challenge does not need to be resolved within the program, but measurable progress toward the defined CCP must be reasonable and appropriate)
  • Measurable:  Contains measurable outcomes of success

Soof Solutions Inc: Giving a Voice to the Speechless

Through the Critical Challenge Project, Dr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson turned her medical technology idea into a healthcare company devoted to providing a happier life to older adults, like her father, by giving them a voice.

5 Capstone ideas for a Master’s in Organizational Behavior

Master’s in Organizational Behavior Capstone Projects

  • Theory into Practice
  • Diversity- Benefits and Obstacles
  • Policy and Procedure: Introducing Change
  • The Use of Assumption-Planning for New Businesses
  • Benefits of Servant-Leadership

Most Master’s in Organizational Behavior programs require a culminating project. At the end of an intensive period of learning it may be difficult to think of a creative and purposeful presentation, let alone to decide how to organize and present the project. Since the purpose of the venture is to display graduate competencies, it must not be too involved, nor too simplistic. Here are five ideas for projects in organizational behavior.

Related Resource:  50 Most Affordable Master’s in Organizational Behavior Degree Programs

1. Theory into Practice

The most direct of culminating projects might be to simply select a theory of Organizational Behavior and show how utilizing the policy affects businesses. Students might even select one isolated case study. The study might include attitudes and cultural differences related to the policy that employees bring to the workplace; groups that form; the influence of managerial attitudes; and the kinds of resources that are available to enforce the policy. One possibility for such a project might be a company policy on addictions and treatment.

2. Diversity-Benefits and Obstacles

This project would be possible studying organizations in large cities with diverse populations, small homogenous companies in rural areas, or contrasting the two. Demonstrated benefits of diversity are increased company morale, a broader base for interaction with the community which improves community relations, and differing perspectives on problem-solving. Obstacles to diversity impact company employee attitudes and behaviors as well. Some of these might be bigotry, misunderstandings arising out of poor communication and resistance to change.  Smallbusiness.chron.com  says that diversity includes racial differences, but also gender, age, religion, and sexual orientation. A good capstone might look at these issues, suggest ways to implement diversity, and then proceed to interview employees and to look at spreadsheets of financial health following the implementation to assess the impact of diversity.

3. Policy and Procedure: Introducing Change

Similar to the Theory into Practice project, this capstone would identify one policy instituted in an organization, discuss why it was initiated, and investigate the effectiveness related to employee satisfaction and profit gain or loss. Students might only deal with the policy as it is implemented or suggest changes that might make it more successful. Additionally, a good project would look at resistance to the policy, if there was any, and suggest ways of making transitions easier in the company culture.

4. The Use of Assumption-Planning for New Businesses

Most corporate bodies plan for the future by looking at past performance. New businesses don’t have statistical or anecdotal information upon which to base future plans. This project would look at the type of assumptions which are used to build plans like trends, market competition, product comparisons and others, and then follow the assumptions to procedures and outcomes. Which assumptions work, and which don’t? How did the changes impact the always-volatile finances of a start-up?

5. Benefits of Servant Leadership

The term “servant-leader” is trending in today’s business world. It refers to a leader who takes the needs of the group into account before he considers his own needs. The model began as a religious concept and today is being taught in universities and business courses worldwide. What are some of the differences that distinguish this type of leadership and how does it affect workplace relationships? Students taking on this project might consider interviews of managers, owners, and employees as resources for the benefits of this style of leadership.

Many different issues affect the way organizations function including workplace relationships. The ideas in this article could be used as presented, or they might act as springboards to other projects. Ultimately, the success of a capstone in a Master’s in Organizational Behavior depends upon the understanding and competence of the student presenting it.

January 2, 2023

capstone project ideas

Like the proverbial journey of a thousand miles, the secret of getting ahead on your capstone project is taking the first step.

In this case, that first step involves selecting the right topic and narrowing it down sufficiently, hence the need for an outline of some handy capstone project ideas.

At Help for Assessment, we understand the need of every student. Since you’re reading this, chances are you’re stuck with your capstone project and don’t know where to start.

This article will give you capstone project ideas in various fields that you can use to get started. We will cover:

  • Nursing capstone project ideas
  • Senior capstone project idea examples
  • BSN nursing capstone project ideas
  • Capstone project ideas for high school students
  • Technology and technical background capstone project topics.

This guide has been put together by the team of academic writing experts at Help for Assessment. We understand that capstone projects are a make or make it kind of thing, given their bearing on your graduation and future success.

That is why these experts are willing to teach you how to do a capstone project , not to mention help you with it so that you can ace your final year of school.

Choosing Your Capstone Project Ideas and Topics (From Scratch)

how to choose capstone project ideas

Instructors don't always give you the freedom to select your own capstone project idea. However, if you are free to choose one, it is a unique chance to prove yourself. 

There are simple steps to choosing a great topic idea and refining it to a proper thesis statement or research question as the case might be.

We already have a detailed guide for this here on our blog , as well as step-by-step guides on how to carry out your capstone project to completion.

In brief, however, this is how you should go about choosing the right capstone project idea.

  • Brainstorm ten or so topics inspired by your course and the material you have covered in the past 4 years. You can get these ideas from your classmates, online sources, or even from what other students have done in the past.
  • Narrow down the topics as guided by the checklist you will find below.
  • With the few remaining ideas, explore the available knowledge for each. This will help you determine how easy or challenging it will be to conduct the intensive research needed for your capstone project. If any of the ideas seems to have sparse published material, discard it. Quantity trumps quality in this case.
  • Find an unsolved problem, a solution that can be improved significantly, a new avenue of exploration, or a completely new solution you feel might work. This will be your "angle" which you will develop in the project. Remember that unlike a thesis, the goal of a capstone project is to provide a practical solution to a real-world problem.
  • Formulate a hypothesis and write down your capstone project proposal , which you will submit to your instructor for approval.

Checklist For a Good Capstone Project

checklist for a good capstone project idea

Will it meet the requirements of your degree satisfactorily? It needs to cover a significant, preferably interdisciplinary portion of your senior studies.

Is it relevant to the profession you intend to join?

Is it interesting and provoking? Choosing a fascinating topic helps capture the interest of your audience and instructor. It also helps to keep you motivated even during the rough patches.

Does it have enough research, data, or supporting material already published? A novel idea may be good at first glance, but you will have a very hard time doing the necessary groundwork. The idea needs to be doable with the available resources.

  • Leadership for Dummies: A Capstone Project for Leadership Students

Lori L. Moore, Summer F. Odom, Lexi M. Wied 10.12806/V10/I1/IB2

Introduction and Conceptual Framework

Within the leadership education literature, the goals of leadership educators have been well documented. According to Huber (2002), “As leadership educators, we help people to understand what it means to be a leader” (p. 31). To that end, we generally hope that at or near the end of their undergraduate education, our students are able to synthesize what they have learned about the various aspects of leadership. Many in higher education incorporate capstone assignments and courses into the curriculum to accomplish this goal. In fact, Morgan, Rudd, and Kaufman (2004) found that leadership faculty considered a capstone experience to be an essential component of leadership programs. Furthermore, Cannon, Gifford, Stedman, and Telg (2010) noted that leadership educators should not overlook the importance of providing leadership students with a meaningful and valuable capstone experience. While capstone experiences have been defined in many different ways, many have noted that capstone courses provide students the opportunity to synthesize the prior knowledge and make connections between the various parts of their education (AAC, 1985; Schmid, 1993; Steele, 1993).

For several years, many have advocated the need for students to develop strong synthesis abilities, such as those developed in capstone courses and assignments. According to Cleveland (2002), “The trouble is, our whole educational system is still geared more toward categorizing and analyzing the patches of knowledge than to threading them together – even though it’s the people who learn how to thread them together who will be the leaders of the next generation” (p. 215).

Pink (2006) further argued that success in today’s world requires a more creative or artistic mindset than what has previously been required. According to Pink, “The last few decades have belonged to a certain kind of person with a certain kind of mind – computer programmers who could crank code, lawyers who could craft contracts, MBAs who could crunch numbers. But, the keys to the kingdom are changing hands. The future belongs to a very different kind of person with a very different kind of mind – creators and empathizers, pattern recognizers, and meaning makers” (p. 1). He suggested such people as “artists, inventors, designers, storytellers, caregivers, consolers, big picture thinkers – will now reap society’s richest rewards and share its greatest joys” (p. 1).

Based on his work as a psychological researcher, Gardner (2008) published the book 5 Minds for the Future in which he identified “minds” he believes individuals should develop to command a premium in the years ahead. These minds are (a) The Disciplined Mind, (b) The Synthesizing Mind, (c) The Creating Mind, (d) The Respectful Mind, and (e) The Ethical Mind. Below are brief descriptions of each of these “minds.”

  • “The disciplined mind has mastered at least one way of thinking — a distinctive mode of cognition that characterizes a specific scholarly discipline, craft, or profession” (Gardner, 2008, p. 3).
  • “The synthesizing mind takes information from disparate sources, understands and evaluates that information objectively, and puts it together in ways that make sense to the synthesizer and also to other persons” (Gardner, 2008, p. 3).
  • “Building on discipline and synthesis, the creating mind breaks new grounds. It puts forth new ideas, poses unfamiliar questions, conjures up fresh ways of thinking, arrives at unexpected answers” (Gardner, 2008, p. 3).
  • “The respectful mind notes and welcomes differences between human individuals and between human groups, tries to understand these ‘others,’ and seeks to work effectively with them” (Gardner, 2008, p. 3).
  • “The ethical mind ponders the nature of one’s work and the needs and desires of the society in which one lives” (Gardner, 2008, p. 3).

Gardner’s minds served as the conceptual framework for the development of a capstone assignment to help students develop the new ways of thinking needed by tomorrow’s leaders.

Description of the Project and Learning Outcomes

A quick trip through any book store shows a thriving self-help market. Numerous books are readily available as references and resources for readers. The “for Dummies” series of books is especially popular. Within this series books range from leisure activity books such as Facebook for Dummies (Pearlman & Abram, 2010) and Sewing for Dummies (Maresh, 2010) to fitness books such as Yoga for Dummies (Feuerstein & Payne, 2010) to more academic books such as Psychology for Dummies (Cash, 2002) and Chemistry for Dummies (Moore, 2003). And yes, there is even a Leadership for Dummies (Loeb & Kindel, 1999).

These books offer many things to many people, not the least of which is a synthesized view of a particular topic from which readers can make meaning.

Wren (1994) noted that students in leadership courses “should have enhanced powers of analysis, and increased capabilities in oral and written communication” (p. 77). Coupling this notion with the popularity of the “for Dummies” series, the authors developed the Leadership for Dummies capstone project.

The primary learning outcomes for this project were centered on the first three of Gardner’s (2008) minds . The first three minds deal primarily with cognitive forms while the last two deal with our relations to other human beings. While all five are no doubt important, this capstone project requires students to focus on the first three. Specific learning outcomes include:

  • Using their disciplined mind , students should reflect on their study of leadership as a discipline within the major. In order to accomplish this, students must have completed or be enrolled in at least four of the five foundational leadership courses included in their degree plan. Students then select three facets of leadership that they consider to be the most fundamental and powerful concepts impacting leadership.
  • Using their synthesizing mind , students assimilate what they learned about each facet of leadership and put that into their own words. They are not to regurgitate the information from the course(s); rather they are to teach it to an individual who is unfamiliar with leadership jargon.
  • Using their creating mind , students then write an 8-10 page “chapter” appropriate for a Leadership for Dummies book for each of the facets of leadership they selected. Students are asked to add clip art, graphics, pull quotations, spotlight sections, and other relevant items to enhance the overall presentation of their final product.

To accomplish these learning outcomes, the following items were identified as required components of the project:

  • A creative title for each chapter, based on the course/content of the “chapter” (related to the concept that inspired the chapter).
  • A quotation related to the concept, to be used as the sub-title.
  • Important, pertinent information related to each of the concepts selected. NOTE: This information must be in the student ’ s own words – they are the author/expert. In cases where information is cited directly or indirectly from a source then they are to use proper citations.
  • Examples of how the material was learned and how it is relevant to everyday life.
  • Students may reference (or use excerpts from) assignments completed in their courses as an example for the readers, but must also include a reflection related to that assignment, describing its importance in helping others learn about that particular facet of leadership.
  • There may be no more than two typed pages (total) of excerpts or examples of course assignments completed for that particular concept.
  • Examples from famous leaders/leadership styles or real-life leadership examples from the student’s life that illustrate the idea of the chapter.
  • A discussion of how readers can apply this information to their lives.
  • At least five action items for readers to practice in their own lives (the “now what”).
  • Images, additional quotations, and even more creativity to support chapter content.
  • A “Top 10” list: At the end of the chapter on each respective topic, a list of the “Top 10” things to remember about that particular facet of leadership. This list includes the “nuggets” of information most important for readers to take away from the chapter.

Discussion and Conclusions

Crunkilton (as cited in Andreasen & Trede, 2000) identified six educational outcomes of capstone courses. These outcomes included:

  • Decision making.
  • Critical thinking.
  • Collaborative/professional relationships.
  • Oral communications.
  • Written communications.
  • Problem solving.

The authors believe the Leadership for Dummies capstone project helps students not only use their disciplined mind, the synthesizing mind, and their creating mind, but also meet several of Crunkilton’s educational outcomes (e.g., decision making, critical thinking, and written communications).

In his discussion of capstone courses Wagenaar (1993) noted that students in his capstone course should view material from a holistic, synthetic perspective. Wagenaar noted, “It might even be conceptualized as an “advanced introductory” course. The introductory course exposes students to the basics of the discipline. The capstone course revisits these basics” (p. 211). The authors kept this notion in mind as they developed the requirements for “the Dummies” assignment. Students must decide on the most fundamental and powerful concepts they found related to their courses, perhaps even the introductory and survey courses.

Furthermore, anecdotal evidence suggests students enjoy being able to choose what to write about as opposed to being assigned specific topics. This freedom encourages students to take ownership of their own learning.

In writing their “chapters” the students essentially provide their own definition of leadership and explicit knowledge related to it. According to Cartwright (2002), “A key aspect of leadership education is that everyone has his or her own definition of leadership, most often at the tacit level. We all know what a leader is, but we find definitions and explicit knowledge hard to come by” (p. 70).

The authors also discussed timing of this assignment within the undergraduate program. Dickinson (1993) noted the effects of senioritis as an issue for having capstone courses. “In their last semester, perfectly good majors mysteriously weaken and become reluctant to engage in serious work, especially if they have already secured a job or a place in graduate school ” (p. 218). Sargent, Pennington, and Sitton (2003) also found evidence of the senioritis syndrome in their study. Based on such findings, the authors of the Leadership for Dummies assignment arrived at the requirement that four of the five foundational leadership classes must be completed or currently in progress. Because three of the four classes are not offered to students until they are juniors, the majority of students would not be able to complete this assignment until the end of their junior, probably the beginning of their senior year.

The authors have just begun using this capstone project on a trial basis with a limited number of students. The purpose of this pilot test is to gain feedback from students prior to determining if it should be implemented as a required assignment for all students. Anecdotal evidence suggests the project is helping students make meaning out of their undergraduate experience. One student who has completed the capstone project commented that “the assignment helped me further understand all of the leadership concepts that I chose to write about. It did this because in order to explain and relate it to real life situations I had to grasp the concept and really apply it. It did help me gain a greater knowledge of leadership because now I know the different types of leaders, styles of leaders, and how they may differ.”

The authors further hope that a project such as this will provide valuable feedback about the program as a whole. As Steele (1993) noted, “The capstone course cannot correct the deficiencies in a department’s curriculum or teaching. It can, however, enable faculty members to identify and address such deficiencies, and it can enable students to see themselves as rooted in an important tradition of social analysis” (p. 244).
