The test that examines more in depth of leadership styles produced a somewhat predicted outcome. I know that my style and personality are strongly linked to achieving a task to completion. There are few times where I put people’s concerns or worries ahead of the task, generally when necessary but defaulting to task at hand as priority. I don’t believe that I’m inconsiderate of people as my style is to be balance the work loads and give people an opportunity to achieve their directives. This allows me to focus more on the issue at hand and worry less about people’s opinions.
Though this organization was successful, they were not successful enough to be in the stuck state they were in. The growth of the Levon Corporation should have been the primary focus of everyone in the company especially the management team. Even though bringing the project management consultant in to outline to the management team the importance of project management functionality was stubbornly agreed upon it proved to be the first and most important step in the company’s change process. The employees will feel their opinions are suggestions are valued as a result of the management team taking the time to hear out the consultant. The apprehension of the management team is understood because that is the culture; however, once the functionality is implemented and the management team sees the growth and positive change, the company will be more adapt to change.
Some of the traits were very well represented by Grace. Her high levels of energy, persistence and effort show some of the most important traits that a leader must have: Drive. Her desire to manage other people and help them to grow in the company, her honesty and integrity are some good qualities easy to see in Grace. Skills are also associated with a successful leader and Grace has some. Although I don’t believe this is her strong side, she develops some emotional and social intelligence.
An employee's perception is everything, even if it may be incorrect. Another way that employee relations can be improved is to have the confidence of your employed staff. Having managers / supervisors that employees feel " have their backs", listen to what they have to say, pass along their fears, concerns, and ideas to the powers that be, and remain creditable, mean the world to employee. These managers / supervisors are an asset to any company. To an employee, the manager / supervisor is the company.
I do also believe that it would be a gateway for law enforcement to be able to exploit people more often and pick on them because of something on their record. There are a lot of positive things that would come form the ID cards but I think that the cons out weigh the pros for me. So therefore I believe that for me William Safire made a better argument. In Safire’s essay, he explains to us that with
Ethical Lens Inventory Reflection Ethical Lens Inventory Reflection As I reflect on the activities we completed, I am very excited to give you some details about them and some insight to what I’ve learned about myself. These assignments were interesting and at first I couldn’t fathom why they were asking the types of questions they were, but as I completed each and got my results I could then understand why the program was asking us such repetitive questions with a limited choice of answers. My personal ethical lens is the relationship and reputation lens. I found that my strengths are my reasoning skills and my intuition while my weaknesses are isolation, guilt and confusion. I was surprised that my blind spot was identified to be overconfidence in process because I rarely feel confident in anything.
“Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everyone I've ever known.” ― Chuck Palahniuk. A person will often feel apprehensive when they are not involved and connected to a certain group but this is when we need to understand and learn to be autonomous and not be necessarily dependent on others. This is when we might find ourselves disconnecting with those surrounding us in order to revaluate ourselves. It is of utmost importance to carefully choose the people we associate with, as we are greatly influenced by our own peer group because they can assist in developing a strong individual identity.
Noncompliance is dangerous for the patient and frustrating for the physician. Up to 11% of hospital admissions, 40% of nursing home admissions, and about 125,000 deaths a year are due to noncompliance with prescribed medication regimens, according to the American Pharmacists Association “Drugs don't work in patients who don't take them (APA, 1994)." It should not be different if the patient is indigent and can not pay the bill because as a healthcare professional you should always treat every patient with the same respect disregarding there economic standpoint, race, or color. The way the economy has been the last couple years has had a big impact on why more patients are noncompliant. Patients will not buy or take medications if they can not afford it.
Financial pressures also may lead to incentives for active killing by putting a limit on funding for terminal care. Legislators considering the cost of terminal care in the Medicare and Medicate programs may take it as an obligation to encourage a more cost-effective way of dying. Almost all observers agree that cost pressures will put a force on future adoption of practicing protocols based on patient condition, likely outcome, and cost of alternative treatments. If euthanasia is legal and widely acceptable it will add to this economic pressure. It is hard to imagine a future without practice protocols, basic benefits package, restrictions, or cost-sharing arrangements that provide de facto incentive for the active killing of people who are terminally
I will be able to surround myself with positive people who give me the confidence and optimism to keep moving forward in my life. I will be able to weed out the people that put out negative vibes. I also know that owning my own business is a very risky proposition. At the same time I know that with risk comes reward. A lot of people thrive on the routine of their job, performing the same tasks day after day.
