I\u2019ve decided to share an example of an online magazine article from the Harvard Business Review https:\/\/hbr.org\/2021\/08\/how-to-work-with-someone-who-creates-unnecessary-conflict?ab=hero-main-text<\/a> . What\u2019s distinctive about this type of writing is that it offers advice and it\u2019s written in the first person. So, although this piece is meant for anyone who works in or owns a business, and is published in a business magazine, the author makes it friendly and as though she were having a conversation with a colleague. She also breaks down her advice into chunks with explanatory headers. The author quotes experts, as well as the experiences of those in the workplace, and includes links to research and other relevant articles. I appreciate the conversational tone and, as I too plan on doing, the links to other articles. These links help to provide evidence to back up her statements without changing the flavor of the article into something more scholarly. This made me realize that what I\u2019ve written for my project so far might need to be tweaked a little to sound more advisory and less explanatory. I also like how the author used several case studies to demonstrate the issue being discussed. I think I may lean on some examples of situations I\u2019ve encountered as a union rep. as my own case studies. In the sample article, there are step-by-step instructions on how to tackle the stated problem. Later, the author offers best practices that are being used successfully by other companies. I probably won\u2019t be able to offer step-by-step instructions, but I will be able to suggest what can help create the cultural change I want to see in organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
