Borkowsi. (2009)”Research indicates that the primary reasons manager fail stems from difficulty in handling change, not being able to work well in teams and poor interpersonal relations” (p. 4). The management team of Sewickley Hospital feels they are on the right path for
In the scenario, Emergency department staff members were likely shaken by this poor outcome of Mr. B., and would be motivated to change to a safer model just to avoid a repeat in the future. Staff members may be reluctant to change because of established habits in patient flow. This reluctance to change would be an identifiable restraining force, which opposes process improvement. Implementing a model which allows for rapid, safe adjustment to increasing acuity would help avoid poor outcomes in the future. Follow-up is
It is too easy to assume that they are just not capable of performing any better. Usually it would mean that they are demotivated so you then need to look at why they might be feeling demotivated and what you can do to help to rectify this. The appraisal process should be used to get the employees point of view and discuss what each party could do to re motivate them and get an improved performance from them. These could include more training, improved working conditions or possibly solving employee disputes etc. You obviously cannot just give in to all demands an employee might make however and you have to discuss options in depth and try and find suitable outcomes to benefit both parties.
o A tendency to avoid reversing changes even if it was not the best choice o In reality, past expenditures are sunk costs and the organization should use a clean slate to look at new choices, but to the manager, this will come at great personal loss. • This relates to strategy because it is important to understand the effect management has on it. o If a manager will suffer personal embarrassment or a loss by adopting a new (although better) strategy, they are more likely to simply stick with the current course of action. o This can be avoided by assessing and addressing the problems of an organization prior to major investments being made o Implication on strategic choice, as they can act for the betterment or detriment of the organization. o Differences in manager’s preferences are specific to their individual personalities, experiences and situations.
Arbitrarily creating metrics for number of patients seen on specific wards coupled with the amount of supplies utilized and time spent on administrative functions, then using those metrics to determine when personnel needed to be fired (as a parallel to what Nardelli did to measure store’s performance) would lead to changes in the way people treated patients. This is not conducive to a Health Care setting. Most businesses could handle that if they are factory driven, or create a specific product away from the customer. When dealing with people, however, there has to be some flexibility with controls. Nardelli’s style does not lend itself well to a customer service environment overall.
What works for one salesman may not work for another. Some may like recognition and some may not. There are many different things you need to learn about each salesman before you can effectively manage them, and that takes time. It is also not fair to the salesman to have to keep reporting to a different district manager each time they are replaced. This will cause a lack of consistency in teaching from the management side and discipline of the employee in balancing both clients and management.
Unintended effects/consequences of the policy (if not yet in effect,, what might they be)? An obvious unintended effect of regulating mental health parity could result in an employers’ option to stop providing health insurance to their employees altogether if they believe the additional two to three percent premium cost is too high. “One destructive consequence of the competitive approach (in a market based economy) tends to be that deprived groups perceive each other as threats to their respective, narrowly defined, interests, and do not realize that the real threat to their joint interests is the principle of inequity which pervades the entire structure and the fabric of society” (Gil, 1990. pp. 189). Another unintended consequence of this mental health parity bill could be blatant discriminatory hiring and firing practices of people with known mental health
According to them, nurses however much trained and experienced lack skills to manage and deal with complex living with multi-system diseases. Additionally, they think that having the nurses to perform independent prescriptions would be costly. They state that they would send their patients for multiple laboratory tests than necessary, hence making the health care costs to
Licensing is supposed to create a boundary in separating people who know how to do the job from people who do not. Young (2002) argues that occupational licensing has many flaws. He stated that it raises prices and does not prove concretely that having a license insures better quality or safety. Also, the requirements usually do not insure “good practice.” The law places more attention to non-licensed practitioners than licensed practitioners who malpractice. Occupational Licensing requires schooling, courses, training, and other obstacles in order for people to practice their specialty.
Moreover if a customer were to question a staff member about a particular product and the employee finds it impossible to answer due to lack of resources this will increase the amount of complaints that is sent to the business therefore damaging Sainsbury's reputation. This also shows the business has to have human resources and this department needs to ensure there is enough staff working in Sainsbury's, these staffs must have suitable skills to carry out their roles and also whether all tasks are being completed to the best of their ability. Furthermore the Human resource department has to make sure of this or otherwise the recruitment of too many staff will cost the business to lose a lot of money and it may reduce the company`s profits. Also if there are also less staff within the company then Sainsbury's cannot function properly because the staff will have many responsibility and there is a huge chance for mistakes. Online Presence – Sainsbury's has their own website where you can order some of the products straight to your door.
