Assignment Instructions

To complete this assignment the Cookie Thief Video is your main source.

Explain what you’ve learned by watching the Cookie Thief video. Don’t gloss over the many aspects of the video. Because the main learning can be easily missed without paying full attention

Discuss a time when YOU were a cookie thief. This may take some thought and retrospection. But, keep in mind the essence of the learning.

How might this learning help you going forward in your profession. For example, you are a manager and have to make some strategic decisions based on information provided to you by your management team. How might reflecting on this learning help you in that role.  How might you apply the this learning? What role does empathy play in this learning (Simon Sinek).

This assignment it should be written as a paper in APA (Links to an external site.) format.  In your paper make sure you answer the 3 part question. DO NOT list the questions in the paper. Your job is to synthesize the learning and make transitional sentences going from one topic to the next and weaving your story together. It should not be a robotic response to the assignment.  Listing answers like, “I don’t know”, “I have never been a cookie thief”,  or twisting the idea to fit your own narrative will not be accepted. This will take some thought for you, which is the essence of the assignment.

There is not a page count that since this is will be different for each individual. However, a just one or two sentences will not work. Therefore, it should be at least 250 words.
