Question: a persuasive essay addressing the debate outlined in the point/counterpoint "To Get the Most Out of Teams, Empower Them. Using the above point/counterpoint as the basis, along with relevant theory and concepts related to motivation and team dynamics in other articles/texts, students are to write a persuasive essay arguing for or against the belief that teams should be empowered for more effective performance. A persuasive essay requires you to develop a perspective on the topic and defend it. Usually there is no right or wrong answer, so the ability to argue your viewpoint becomes critical to your mark. You are required to use research to define what you are arguing about and present the facts in an orderly fashion as you see them - all of which lead to an inevitable conclusion (as you would want the reader to come to). The specific stance you take must be supported with references to academic literature and research. A minimum of 8 academic sources are required. You should refer to these sources using the UTAS Harvard Referencing style. Essays need to be written in "third person" - to appear objective you need to take yourself, as the author, and also the reader out of the Page 8 XPD101 People and Organisations Generated by Akari equation. This means not using "I", "me" (or first person) and "us", "we" (or second person). Another reason for following this convention is some readers may so object to being openly co-opted or coerced to your point of view, that in the end they express their displeasure at your presumption by disagreeing with your viewpoint entirely

Essay Structure: The introduction in a persuasive essay should have links between the topic and an outcome; could contain a question; should state a counter-position to your viewpoint and contain your viewpoint. It should not have supporting evidence for your viewpoint, nor a solution. The body of the essay should address key issues and provide supporting evidence. Where a key issue and evidence can run over a few paragraphs, one paragraph should not contain more than one issue or provide supporting evidence for more than one issue. It is a good idea to re-state your position throughout the essay as it is easy for readers to forget what you are arguing. The conclusion should mirror the introduction, re-state key issues raised in the body, and offer a solution or suggestion.
