How U. S. Marine Corps uses Concepts by Simon Sinek

Watch both Simon Sinek videos listed below (approx. 17-19 min each. Both can also be found via google simon sinek then choose videos).  As you watch, make notes and think critically about how the ideas presented can be related to the USMC and sustaining the transformation.  Use these thought questions to help get your brainstorming started and focus your ideas:

How do these concepts relate to today’s Marines?  What ideas can you come up with to impact sustained change in your Marines and unit? Think about both the positive and negative.  What about the entire USMC?  How are the ideas in the video similar or different to what you already see and do?  What ideas could you use or try? What wouldn’t work and why not? Are there ideas to apply to your own command with its specific characteristics and issues? What difference can you make on your own? Does anything in the videos inspire you to act? Does it change the way you see the overall culture or climate of the Corps?  Can you think of anything you can now do or try differently?

Video: First Why, then Trust (17:06): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VdO7LuoBzM

PROMPT:  In his videos, Simon Sinek uses simple concepts to explain success.  Choose two of these concepts and explain how the USMC uses them.

Concept Examples:  The “Split”, The “Why”, The Golden Circle, Inside out thinking, Law of Diffusion/Innovation, Buy In etc.

Your paper should include the basic elements of an academic paper (introduction, body, and conclusion) and use proper sentence structure, punctuation, and grammar.  It should be 3-4 pages typed, double spaced with a clear thesis statement that makes a claim and proves it.  Do not just give the reader information. And please use if you can, Use “Law of Diffusion/Innovation and The “Split” as the two of the concepts to write about and must be original please.

Please write your paper in the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) format. As part of your research, you may refer to the course material for supporting evidence, but you must also use at least five credible, outside sources and cite them using CMS format as well. Please include a mix of both primary and secondary sources, with at least one source from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. If you use any Study.com lessons as sources, please also cite them in CMS (including the lesson title and instructor’s name).

Primary sources are first-hand accounts such as interviews, advertisements, speeches, company documents, statements, and press releases published by the company in question.
Secondary sources come from peer-reviewed scholarly journals, such as the Journal of Management. You may use like JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Social Science Research Network to find articles from these journals. Secondary sources may also come from reputable websites with .gov, .edu, or .org in the domain. (Wikipedia is not a reputable source, though the sources listed in Wikipedia articles may be acceptable.)

Must be a historical monograph

There will be two critical reviews of monographs. Each review will be 900-1100 words long and be modeled after critical reviews in academic journals such as the American Historical Review or The William and Mary Quarterly.  A book review concentrates on identifying and critiquing on the authors thesis. What is the author trying to argue, what evidence do they use, and do you agree and disagree? It is not just a simple summary of the book.
