paper

i gotta write my first paper for grad school this week. i'm a bit stressed - i admit it. i really don't know where to start. i have a bunch of articles " books about a broad topic - difficult conversations - and i'm stuck. i need to narrow my topic down to a problem that deals with managing/developing people and then come up with a solution to it.

my top two choices:
performance management of a poor performer
making group decisions - having effective meetings

if anyone has a 8-12 page paper i can borrow, that'd be awesome.
