Introduction
Each learning objective has a lesson plan that incorporates in-class and digital activities. The
lesson plans provide author-recommended activities for use before class, during class, and after
class. The purpose of these lesson plans is to provide instructors an opportunity to incorporate
active learning into their classes without having to devote an extraordinary amount of time
developing lesson plans of their own. They have also been formatted to assist instructors in better
understanding the ideal time to utilize different activities.
Many of the activities in each lesson plan have supplemental instructions in this Teaching
Resource Manual (TRM). You can view these instructions by clicking on any activity that has a
link. Please note that the lesson plans do not include all the activities available in Connect®.
They are only a sampling of author-recommended activities provided as guidance for instructors
who want to incorporate higher levels of learning in their face-to-face or online courses.
Learning Objective 1-1: Identify the rewards of being an exceptional manager.
Before Class
• Self-Assessment 1.1: How Strong Is My Motivation to Lead? (click here for activity)
o Purpose: This self-assessment is intended to help students reflect on whether they have a
strong internal motivation to lead other people. Because one of the four major elements
of a manager’s responsibilities is to be a leader (along with planning, organizing, and
controlling), it makes sense that one would be a better manager if one had a strong
motivation to lead.
o Time: 10 minutes
o Instructions: Self-Assessments can be assigned to students through Connect®.
During Class
• Opening Video: Fair Oaks Farms
o Purpose: To provide students with an example of exceptional leadership that impacts not
only their own organization, but their industry as well.
o Time: 15 minutes (Video: 4:58 minutes, Optional Discussion: 10 minutes).
o Video Summary: Fair Oaks Farms is trying to change the face of the dairy industry. The
video explores how this organization has opened its farm to the public and adopted
environmentally friendly practices in an attempt to change the reputation of dairy
farming.
o Instructions: Have students watch the Fair Oaks Farms video provided under Instructor
Resources in Connect®. You can put students into small groups and ask them to address
the following:
▪ In what ways are the owners of Fair Oaks Farms good leaders?
